@jmjm @infobeautiful Sell enough shares to pay the (low, because it is a safe secured loan) interest, pay a little tax on that. This puts your effective tax rate at (interest rate * capital gains tax), which is *very* low.

When you die your estate probably pays capital gains taxes, but you have probably set up some trusts to avoid that.

@rimu@mastodon.nzoss.nz @rimu@piefed.social Threads starting with nothing but a link to lemmy and replies with pictures not having the picture are the federation issues that annoy me the most with Lemmy.

@lightweight @rimu Does it do a better job of federating with Mastodon than Lemmy?

Hey fellow Australians and Kiwis (or anyone with knowledge of this area), what are the best options for print on demand shirts and such when only concerned with servicing ANZ (and maybe some other smaller nearby nations)?

Just as much a power play as expecting free tech support from family for your corporate OS.

The Linux user only has as much power to apply pressure for the switch as they are given through requests for free tech support.

Hoping that we lose WW3 sure is a depressing mood.

#Bitwarden update claims it is easier to auto fill forms in the browser now.

Old: click anywhere on the item except the buttons to autofill
New: click only on the 'fill' button to autofill

This seams harder to me.

I'm going to go with a nix compatible git hook and cronjob on the server. (which currently isn't nixos)

I love reading a "how to X" post, and get to the end and still have no idea how to do X.

Do you?

I just read "Building a Static Site with Nix" and I still have no idea how to get my site to deploy.

@alcinnz I encountered a website implementing it's own loading animation yesterday, replacing the browsers own with no improvement in functionality. This was a pretty traditional webpage, not an app.

Why?

@alcinnz Web app level of up to date is really only something that appeals to companies wanting to not support old software.

Which I fully understand. But that isn't usually in the end users best interests.

I do like keeping software up to date, but the NixOS model of 'everything gets updated, or nothing does' is pretty appealing. It should reduce the instances of an update breaking the interactions between applications.

Yay the LEDs are the right way up!

@njoseph I did a C or C++ take home in C. I didn't get the job because I did it in C.

I felt like hiring a cybertruck.

Top and bottom are very confusing terms some times.

I would call this a "down firing" LED, but with the non emiting side labelled "bottom" which way up would you expect the parts to be in a reel?

@alcinnz Windows forces users to use the commandline.

It isn't that hard to get it to give an error message akin to: "Unknown thing went wrong, please run <commandline tool> for any useful information"

My OS knowledge is limited, but I'd presume "commandline under the hood" is ubiquitous. Any OS that didn't include one would have devs adding one to feel at home.

@HistoPol Did English/German autocorrect get in the way there? 'nicht' doesn't make much sense there.

@HistoPol @The_Icarian although their are fears the changes will push Australia towards a to party system more. It may not be a resounding good thing.

Eternal email challenge: Spell the recipient's name correctly. When their name is clearly the bit in their email address before the '.'.

Difficulty: extreme

@alcinnz calling Verilog or VHDL programming probably feels okay to many gatekeepers, but is a useless grouping of skills that are wildly different.

Similar to 'engineer', 'programing' means so many different things that as unqualified term it means so little.
