Three Wall Street Mega Banks Hold $157.3 Trillion in Derivatives – That’s $56.7 Trillion More than the Entire World’s GDP Last Year (wallstreetonparade.com)

At recent Congressional hearings on federal bank regulators’ newly proposed rules to force the largest banks in the U.S. to hold more capital against their riskiest trading positions (so that taxpayers aren’t on the hook for more bailouts), the banks and their sycophants holding Senate and House seats made it sound like...

Xer0,

Never in my life have I seen that format.

Xer0,

Nothing wrong with accepting that both sides of anything have good and bad shit going on. I couldn’t imagine just blindly following one side 100% even when they can also do questionable stuff.

Xer0,

Oh for fuck sake. Everything I use of Google’s that is half decent always ends up getting the chop.

Xer0,

I didn’t actually look to be honest! I was just looking at some House of the Dragon stuff and thought I’d search and see if I could find a community. Could always rebrand to be a catch all for any ASOIAF stuff, assuming the name of the community can be changed that is. (Not sure.)

Xer0,

I have no clue what this actually is about. But I always remember watching Deal or No Deal and thinking “If it was down to two boxes, £1 and £250K, I would absolutely swap my box.” There is no way I would believe that all along I’ve been holding the 250K box. In my mind it makes more sense that I’m holding the £1 box and I need to swap.

Xer0,

Perfect, thanks very much for your reply!

Xer0,

Looks like i can’t post there coming from Lemmy.ml

Xer0,

Subscription now pending … why does this have to be so complicated lmao.

Xer0,

I’m gonna need you to go ahead and write, produce, direct, and star in this porno by close of business tomorrow.

Xer0,

Absolutely unreal. 50 million views in 9 hours. The game looks amazing! First viewing I was a little underwhelmed, but watching the trailer again on a bigger screen and it does really look fucking great! This is going to be the biggest selling game in history, without a doubt.

Xer0,

Man I loved 4. So many people seemed to dislike it but I thought it was a fantastic game and a MASSIVE step up from the previous gen titles (in graphics and physics etc.)

Signal leaked random contacts to me! (feddit.de)

When I press on some message to forward it, it shows me Random usernames of contacts I don’t know. And it even shows some Mobile Numbers I don’t know. For example, one number starts with +964 that’s Iraq. I’m from Europe tho. These contacts and numbers are from all over the place....

Xer0,

I mean, ever heard of a phonebook?

Xer0,

Also look into Soulseek if you’re looking for FLAC files.

Xer0,

3 times a day. Someone once mentioned to me years ago that I hadn’t brushed my teeth, and from the onwards I make sure to brush 3 times a day, every day.

Xer0,

Worked for an online poker company. The information they stored from users devices was insane. Registration and connection ips, mac addresses, disk serials. Basically any identifiable piece of pc information they stored in their database so they knew who was logging in where and from what computer.

Has anyone else been trying to break their reddit-era habit of downvoting?

I used to downvote fairly often on Reddit as a sign to disagree or to push down really disgusting bigoted comments. And to be honest, it became a habit to just downvote without replying. However, now that I’m on lemmy and not Reddit I’ve been actively trying to not instantly downvote things and instead move on or take the...

Xer0,

Completely agree. Always thought voting was stupid in general.

Xer0,

I liked tildes a while ago, but I don’t think the signup process helped them. I think it was invite only iirc.

Xer0,

Or those people who pay for their stuff but still haven’t packed a single thing, so you have to wait even longer while they pack everything.

Xer0,

I agree with you. This place can actually be above all that shit. Plenty of apps to use if you want that sort of mass produced trash.

Xer0,

The issue with reddit is that it turns everyone into know it all assholes. The discussion is absolutely horrendous over there. Here it’s so much better and more sensible.

Xer0,

Cool, I’ve heard of it. What client is good to use?

Xer0, (edited )

Nice, will definitely look into matrix.

edit: Setup on Matrix. Username @xero:matrix.org

Xer0,

I setup matrix, any good channels you’d reccommend?

Xer0,

I’m using Element. Any channels etc you’d recommend?

Xer0,

The people aren’t assholes. The place is not that big to be totally ruined.

Where's the feel of the old Internet gone, and what sites do you use?

Hey all. Since the Internet has just been boiled down to the main big social media sites, it feels like the magic is gone. Whens the last time someone said to you “hey check out this cool website”? It’s always the same: TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, FB, Reddit, Discord. Forums are basically dead. Chat rooms are dead. Message...

Xer0,

Hey, this is great. Thank you. I have actually just created a community here !oldweb if anyone is interested. Just a place to share these sorts of sites and lists etc.
