This is what I was leaning towards. Getting my ROI within a year of the first payout would be nice due to taxes, I don’t have the English vocabulary to explain this. Basically I have to pay taxes for any money I receive over my initial investment and everything lost not being used within a year will be lost
I would be getting $1000 out right now, and I absolutely don’t know if I should

BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.worksto Linux@lemmy.ml•How I gave up a one-game addiction to switch to 100% Linux (long story warning)52·2 months agoWe here in the Apple Garden know that Apple takes all our usage data and trust then that they are used anonymously. But Apple has no access to data when it is encrypted, they even warn you when you encrypt your data that you need to safe the keys yourself, they can only delete everything if you lose them.
I was in a similar situation, but I got a MacBook M1 for literally everything but PC exclusive gaming, and I kept my gaming rig dual booting windows (on the HDD) and Pop!_OS (boots automatically, saved on SSD).
Why did I get a MacBook? I just wanted it. I‘d probably throw SteamOS on the gaming rig one day and use steam-link with an Ethernet cable to stream the games to the MacBook.
And yes, Linux is really easy to use nowadays. I’ve been thinking of throwing a lightweight distro onto my parents laptop. They only use Firefox so they won’t even notice it lol
Better specs, less loading.
More money = less brain

BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.ml•‘Net zero hero’ myth unfairly shifts burden of solving climate crisis on to individuals, study finds23·6 months agoCompanies invented single use packaging - blamed the consumers for polluting the environment.
Consumers then paid for garbage disposal.
Companies did nothing wrong.
This spiral continues with everything.
Companies make people dependent on something by eliminating all alternatives, this turns out to be bad for the environment and suddenly the people are the bad ones.
Edit: there’s this thing in Germany called Rorax, which cleans your pipes. The 100% natural ingredients variant costs exactly the same as the microplastic thing. The only difference is that the natural one needs to sit at least 6 hours while the other one can do it in 2. I opted for the environmentally friendly option.

As far as my research went, he invented X, his own and badly coded banking service, then he bought it PayPal, was a shitty CEO and in addition to that implemented his own code that made things worse - which got kicked out of the company by the employees

Tried to learn coding using chatGPT. Wanted to make my own game engine for a phone game. Ended up looking up tutorials.
BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.worksto Gaming@lemmy.ml•Nintendo files lawsuit against Palworld261·10 months agoExcept for the capture mechanic working similar, which hopefully was not just copy-pasted, the gameplay is completely different. Palworld plays like Arc x Fortnite, while Pokémon plays like Final Fantasy.
And the general design-inspiration itself shouldn’t be an issue. Because I don’t think “style” can be copyrighted

Look at old labels of your favourite ice cream tray. The amount of liquid is the same, but it sure as heck is lighter.
BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.ml•McDonald's sales fall globally for first time in more than three years25·11 months agoThey can’t grow anymore, so they had to ramp up the prices to continue to please shareholders.
Next will be a certain decline in quality, like more air in bread (“fluffier bread”) and nuggets and more water in the meat (“juicier”) and shakes, maybe they’ll even remove the free refill stuff.
