  • Here are some contemporary finance hacks that I use all the time:

    • take advantage VC funded ventures. These businesses are there to capture market and will bleed money on acquiring customers. However you need to be flexible and ready to pack your bags when the services starts to need to make money so don’t get locked in.
    • live 1-2 generations behind on tech. The difference is almost neglible but older tech is more stable and much cheaper while also often have all of the software updates backported.
    • look for refurbished deals. There’s a lot of great tech that is acquired from big businesses and refurbished for resale like laptops, furniture, chairs etc.
    • shop local. No matter how much you educate yourself on best value, the local value is very likely to be better especially when you consider local support like warranty. So don’t import best headphones on the planet, buy the best headphones in your area.

    Around 12.

    Eggs are incredible nutrition value and I’d still pay 12$ for 12 eggs. In fact I do splurge on local market eggs that come from free range chickens and here they are around 5$ for 12 which is double the factory price but still and an incredible steal.

    That’s why the great American egg whine of 2024 is so confusing. Min wage in the US is still like 24++ eggs an hour which is an insane thing to complain about. Y’all need financial literacy not cheaper eggs.











  • Reddit 100% was censoring and shadow banning any kbin or lemmy mentions.

    I wouldn’t even be surprised if reddit actively promoted or even creates negative comments. There was a precedent of people abandoning Digg so they were clearly very aware and afraid.

    At the end of the day it’s impossible to tell with these incredibly opaque networks. It’s even hard to confirm comment visibility as Reddit employs data fudging and shadow banning.

    Just another reminder that nothing any closed source social media says should be trusted, ever.








  • Yes of course it can help you. The lack of imagination in this thread is truly astounding.

    You have an assistant with you that can instantly answer your questions and help you develop your business:

    • “what’s the most efficient way to track appointments for me on Linux desktop program with minimal budget and I have 4-6 daily appointments. My key features are reminder 30min before appointment and ability to put notes for each appointment”
    • “help me optimize my meeting structure. I’m in X niche and currently I have 30minute daily meetings that don’t follow any structure, what are some de facto meeting structures and post meeting operations in this industry?”

    I’m not directing this at OP but to all of the naysayers in this thread - if you can’t find use for a tireless, 20$/mo assistant that will instantly answer your questions then you should not be owning any business or leading anything for that matter.
