Mereo@lemmy.cato Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Retirement in the USA is a scamEnglish322·8 months agoMy 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.
The new o1-preview model gave me much better and more precise answers than the 4o model.
Mereo@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.ml•Reddit is now blocking major search engines and AI bots — except the ones that pay3·11 months agoFor old posts. I can’t find new posts on DDG. I find them on Google but not on DDG.
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.
Mereo@lemmy.cato Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Windows just changed my desktop wallpaper and re-added the search bar without my permission after an updateEnglish26·1 year agoThat’s where Windows belongs now, in a VM.
Yup. It is an official proof that the package wasn’t delivered.
To me, instances are like countries. c/[email protected] is not the same as c/[email protected] because lemmy.ml culture and policies are different from lemmy.world. In this case, go to c/[email protected].

Mereo@lemmy.cato Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Ubisoft requires you to sign in just to play a demo...English81·1 year agoIt is not. It is a demo. The company demonstrates the game to you. You’re free to play it as long as you want so that you can make an informed decision afterwards.
Mereo@lemmy.cato Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Ubisoft requires you to sign in just to play a demo...English241·1 year agoAnd this is where pirating comes into play. For example, I bought Fifa 23 but because of the bundled anti-cheat giving me a lot of problems, I downloaded the cracked version.
Mereo@lemmy.cato Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•This is way too expensive for a drink.English332·1 year agoGood! That means less people drinking sugar!
Mereo@lemmy.cato Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Youtube is allowing Youtubers to advertise their merch even for premium usersEnglish2121·2 years agoThat’s a very extreme view, my friend. A lot of Youtubers come up with good products. For example, LevelOneTechs has come up with a pretty good KVM that a lot of mainstream companies haven’t been able to perfect. So I enjoy it when Youtubers advertise their merch.
The whole thing seems rushed because the CEO of Unity, John Riccitiello, was the leading advocate of microtransactions when he was at EA, and now he is instilling the same culture at Unity.
How will they differentiate between pirated copies and legitimate copies? How will they distinguish first-time installs from repeat installs? Can we trust their algorithm? It just doesn’t seem possible.
Mereo@lemmy.cato Gaming@beehaw.org•Starfield's Numbers Surge in Early Access - Insider Gaming1·2 years agoI hope that since Bathesda is now a Microsoft studio, Microsoft is going to be persistent with bug fixes. But maybe it’s a tall order.
Mereo@lemmy.cato Gaming@beehaw.org•Starfield's Numbers Surge in Early Access - Insider Gaming10·2 years agoBeing a patient gamer is best. We need to give it at least 6 months for Bathesda to optimize the game and fix the major bugs.
Mereo@lemmy.cato Gaming@beehaw.org•Dreadwolf's Delays Are Impacting The Next Mass Effect - Insider Gaming2·2 years agoInteresting. I might try that
I hope you had a good sense of euphoria after that.
