Set up a trust to invest the money, from the compounding returns, use a sustainable portion of the dividends to fund a cause you believe will help change the world. Be very explicit to the trust managers as to the long term instructions of the trust.
With compound market returns the million dollars could be worth $40 million in 50 years and would be distributing af a sustainable 3% dividend, 1.2 million a year to a cause you believe in.
I don't understand if these are the charges, why they haven't arrested Zuckerberg for the same. The reason is that Pavel won't install backdoors into his app.
It's because the USA floods countries with cheap goods all the time and then cries foul when someone else does it. It's pure hypocrisy.
Have to disagree. The games and the trailer are very far apart.
The trailer looked like a wannabe Guardians of the Galaxy clone.
Less war hawks, neoliberals, reactionary american exceptionalism from tech workers who have no idea what they're talking about except that they have money and think that gives them the privilege of opinion.
They never had a debate even though there were a couple candidates running. Biden has been mentally troubled for the last 9 months or so. It was party hubris that led to this crisis.
Honor of Kings is pretty good. Just ignore all the contests. You always start at the same ability as everyone else.
Medvedev is a nut. I think he's just spewing vitriol to appease the hawks in Russia. The same way Lindsey Graham does in the states.
Democrats have always been imperialists with a smile (vs republicans), but their hubris of letting a guy who's aging poorly act as the figurehead is why Gen Z has become disillusioned.
Sorry, i meant the video sharing one. I forgot the name. Thanks for sharing this though!
Did peerfed ever figure out the bandwidth issues? Is there a way this can scale?
Probably wherever there are domestic agents.
Yeah i think it's great. Only works 2 days for me though. Not the 3-4 days advertised. I'm not complaining though I'll never use deodorant sticks again.
At some point decades from now maybe? I still think nuclear and fusion research are important for human civilization, I just think it's stupid to waste money on building power plants using nuclear technology in its current state.
The reason we don't build nuclear power plants anymore (including small modular), is because they're insanely expensive, produce only a small amount of power compared to you can produce with renewables, and always come with cost overruns. Nuclear power is the techsploitation of of tbe 60's and 70's. Most governments look at the economics now and realize they can do solar plus storage for a fraction of the immediate and long term cost.
But Ukraine’s president fears that some of his country’s Western backers are losing faith
"There is no way of predicting how the millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries would react to their country being abandoned. Ukrainians have generally “behaved well” and are “very grateful” to those who sheltered them. They will not forget that generosity. But it would not be a “good story” for Europe if it were to “drive these people into a corner”."
US president stumbles over his words during Asia trip and press secretary halts him mid-sentence
Lol someone please defend this war criminal.
Have the US and NATO managed to box themselves in with the Ukraine war?
Good analysis of what options (or lack of) the west has with their commitment to killing Ukranians.
I have this issue often. I know if I scratch, it will wake me up and take longer to sleep because of my body movement. If I don't scratch, my mind only focuses on the itch. Sometimes I'll wait 5 minutes for the scratch to go away and then I just cave and start scratching any minor itch I have on my body. Has anyone just not moved and let the itch subside or does everyone scratch?
I recently read a funny comment and wanted to give it the 😂 reaction like I would on a Telegram post, but upvoted instead. Reddit had upvoting downvoting but wondering if Lemmy, being an open source innovative software, should evolve past the upvote downvote and allow for a wide range of emoji reactions to a post.
I want to thank one of my readers, Paul S., for flagging this remarkable and hilarious Newsweek article, written by Bill Arkin, that is a classic example of the CIA...
Interesting if the CIA are prepping for an excuse to exonerate themselves from any messups in strategy they have the Ukranians; blame the people who followed our instructions for not following them well enough.

Interesting take if the CIA are laying the groundwork to exonerate themselves from a possible impending failure.
Discover the power of AFFiNE, the ultimate alternative to Notion, Miro, and Monday. This article introduces the latest AFFiNE 0.7.0 Preview, unveiling an upcoming feature: AFFiNE Cloud.
I'm excited about this MPL licensed tool and wanted to share; it's aiming to be a replacement to Notion, but self-hosted. It's not as feature rich (still in Beta) but it's a modern KMS/Collaboration tool that's looks to be on par with other proprietary options in the market. They seem to have some sort of capital backing because they have a team working on development.
My concern is how the pricing model will work and what features they will lock. They say that it will be free to self-host, but I feel like they will lock some features (most definitely their cloud service.) But if they only lock cloud hosting but allow self-hosting it will be pretty amazing for the self-hosting community.
Do you track your expenses monthly? Annually? Do you have an app or do you use an excel spreadsheet? Any suggested tools?
I use a spreadsheet and track monthly.
Should the EU backslide on Turkish entry, Erdogan could well renege on his commitment to support Swedish accession to NATO.
There was a post from a mass media site the other day saying Turkey was approving Sweden to join NATO. This turned out to be a bit of wishful thinking.
It will be interesting to see more traditional BB forum software interconnect with other networks. All the gaming forums that will be able to cross post...
Just finished it. I like this show the comedy is pretty amazing and also it gets pretty emotional too without too much backstory. I did like the more backstory of the demons in seasons 2 and 3. I thought the humanizing of them gave an interesting perspective.
Looking forward to season 5, does anyone know the release date?
I'm just curious for the new or existing people? Lemmy.ml has taken a hard turn to the right since the reddit exodus. There's been a lot of pro-imperialist propaganda being posted on world news, and a lot less diversity of opinion. It feels more neoliberal and neo-con to me.
Does anyone want to share what their political leanings are?
I'll start; I'm anti-imperialist pro-state regulated capitalism. I believe we should have usage based taxes (toll roads, carbon tax) and luxury taxes, and I disagree with wealth taxes for people with less than $250 million. The state should spend more money on consumer protection in all industries (environment, health, finance, etc.) I believe in multipolarity vs. US hegemony.
I see like reddit this community is mostly western mainstream media news sources.
Unlike reddit this site doesn't have to ban alternative news sources or alternative opinions. Most people get their news from search engines that feature western mainstream media news sources.
I would like to help create a sticky thread that lists out all the available English media news sources and categorize them based on their geography and political ideology. I think this would help people discover new sources of news, while keeping in mind the underlying intent of how news is being reported.
