I hope you had a good sense of euphoria after that.

You’re right. I wrote it quickly while on the go.

My brother or sister, invest in index funds, not the stock market. And then forget about it for 30 years or more until you retire. And then, if you invest in index funds, there will be ups and downs.

The trick is to stay the course because it has been proven that the price will always go up from when you started investing. And then, in 30 years or more, you will have a substantial amount of money for retirement.

My experience was with Apple News. When I wanted To cancel before the end date, it told me I would lose access to the trial.

Unfortunately, a lot of companies do this now, including Apple. I made it a habit to create a reminder to cancel before the end date.

Excellent explanation. Thank you

That’s where Windows belongs now, in a VM.

It reminds me of Fallout.

What the hell?!?!?! This is a server OS! It needs to be as light as possible and for the sake of server stability and security, admins carefully choose the installed apps. Microsoft can’t just install new applications on a whim.

This is fuged up.

This is not an anti-American comment, but a fact. The USA is a superpower and a big country. As a superpower, americans don’t need to be informed about what happens in the world because it doesn’t affect them. Their country is the source of world power. And Americans tend to travel within their country because it’s big and full of tourist attractions.

Compare that with Canada, which has 40 million people. We need to be aware of every single decision the US makes so that the country can adapt. There is a famous quote from Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau: “Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt.”

instances are like countries with their own constitution (rules) and police (mods). This means that two communities in different instances may seem the same, but they are not, because they have to follow the rules and culture of their instance.

Just like a Technology club in Japan will not be the same as the Technology club in the US because they will be culturally different. I think it will take some time for the Fediverse to think this way.

For me, this is better. Instead of having one giant technology community where your comments and posts are drowned out, we can have different technology communities with their own culture and norms, just like we visit different countries. Your comment and posts will be not drowned out.

It is a different paradigm to the centralised one of Reddit.
