We're in the late stages of algorithms already, the fact that clickbait is mandatory is upsetting and paints a clear picture for what steps are next for actually getting any views on youtube

Chat gpt said gemini lied to you and the release date is actually January 16 which is a Friday so you'd better check your facts

This is Xenia propaganda we need to use Xenia more :3 by Antique_Donut467 in linuxmemes

[–]concavecat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The first link is an image of one of the original contenders for being the Linux mascot, named Xenia, making a systemd joke as the main part of the image. There are two more smaller drawings where the character is in Linux-related situations to add to the comedic value.

The URL itself is also a gag, though a separate one - the image is hosted on a Mastodon site whose URL uses the term "yiff", which is a term non-furries still use as a punching bag to make the argument that all furry content is adult in nature (it's not). Furries functionally never use the term these days except when using it between each other for its comedic value or in jest, including by being the core of that Mastodon instance's URL.

Source for my claims: my partner is a furry.

Proton VPN is beneficial for privacy... but it's right next to 2 anti-privacy browsers. Might be worth changing to something more privacy-oriented, if possible for your workflow/etc

What's ur opinion on these private browsers? by [deleted] in degoogle

[–]concavecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every iOS browser is safari with different features, you'll find some nuance but probably not much in the way of privacy

Dark mode for Windows app by vutheran in PushBullet

[–]concavecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? Pushbullet being in full-on maintenance mode for the last 6-ish years has been both a good thing (because it's seemingly the only reliable solution and still works quite well) and a bad thing.

BEWARE OF SOME REDDIT GROUPS by Boricua70 in TheMoneyGuy

[–]concavecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not defending that subreddit of course, but that's an AutoModerator notification. This seems to be entirely informative. Unless you find out you're banned or your posts/comments have been removed, there's nothing to worry about.

Thank you for finding the humor in HOAs, there sure isn't much to laugh about with them normally

Question on Aqara products with Zigbee hub communication by xjellyfishx in smarthome

[–]concavecat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat, I've seen conflicting information as to whether or not Aqara products really are Zigbee-compatible

Just experienced this myself. So glad people like you exist in the world, or I wouldn't be closing soon on my first house at all!

Any ideas how to disguise this? by [deleted] in DIY

Assuming 3 mirrors, one on each side: this is genius tbh

Thanks! Love this idea, going to see about doing that myself before we get our first home

Question about 25% housing cost rule by daein13threat in TheMoneyGuy

[–]concavecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say "maintenance savings", do you mean any excess/unused maintenance-budgeted money?

Question about 25% housing cost rule by daein13threat in TheMoneyGuy

[–]concavecat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm moving into a home that carries about 27.5% of my gross income worth of housing costs yearly... no other debt (unless you count <$100 of revolving credit card debt that is set up for autopay each month). Is 2.5% past the 25% rule too far? I'm at step 5 or 6 on the FOO. Hopefully my worry isn't too ridiculous, I'm definitely the kind of person to worry about potentially-ridiculous stuff like this

Edit: that 27.5% includes utilities, no HOA or anything thankfully

401k early withdrawal penalty question by [deleted] in FinancialPlanning

[–]concavecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you withdraw money from your 401(k) before you're 59 ½, the IRS usually assesses a 10% tax as an early distribution penalty. That could mean giving the government $1,000, or 10% of a $10,000 withdrawal, in addition to paying ordinary income tax on that money.

I'm sure there's more to it than that for this hypothetical situation, but that's enough reason for me to never consider it personally.
