Kinda seems like he does the opposite, but I haven't been personally checking when his cronies sell. He seems to say some bullshit to tank a market then buy cheap knowing it'll go back up, because taco.
A dump and pump, if you will. Which is very fitting for 'ol Donnie.
My favorite story about best buy is in the early 2000's, a family member gifted me a $20 gift card to best buy, which unbeknownst to them, I had stopped shopping at because it got too expensive and I started buying from newegg instead. Anyway, I walk in and am thinking 'well I don't really need anything big right now, like a full PC, laptop, etc. Maybe I'll just get a DVD or something."
Even with a $20 gift card, Best buy prices were so marked up, they were either still more expensive, or the same price as other stores. I think other stores were selling DVD's at like $15 (not new-releases) and best buy was $35. I walked out and never ended up buying anything. I'm shocked they're still around to be honest.
So to actually give you some amount of answer about why what you're doing is historically not a good move: most apps and services that allow you to charge a credit card to get cash, is called a cash-advance and it usually comes with extremely high fees and higher than normal apr that make it not very attractive for people to use, and downright predatory for people that don't know about the high fees.
For example, here's what capital one says about it:
So maaaybe you're not being charged this fee/apr, maybe you are, I'm not sure because i don't use cashapp, but if you aren't being charged this fee from cashapp or your credit card directly, its probably because cashapp is losing this money, trying to entice customers to its platform, as a "courtesy service" to its customers.
Digging into this further, here's the fees I found for capital one:
"The Capital One cash advance interest rate is usually 29.99% (V). The interest rate applicable on cash advances is typically higher than what is charged for other card purchases and it will start accruing as soon as the advance is granted as there is no grace period for it.
You'll also be charged with a cash advance fee of 3% or a $5 minimum."
So instead of paying 25% APR on your old balance, you're now paying 30% APR with a 3% fee on the new balance.
Part of me says there's no way the world agrees to participate in the Olympics in LA in 2028 based on how fascist we're becoming, but then, Hitler had the Olympics in Nazi Germany and the world stage still came. So... Guess history repeats itself eh? Eh? Eh? God we're so fucked.
Upon reading the Wikipedia page, only Ireland and Spain chose to sit that one out. But more nations showed up to Nazi Germany than the previous 1932 Olympics, 49 up from 37 nations. Fun!
Not a gimp expert or dev here, just a long time Linux user: presumably you're editing an existing original image in gimp, right? What does the original image look like compared to the saved gimp image when viewed with mint's photo viewer? Do they both have the same level of saturation? Just trying to rule out Mint's photo viewer unintentionally adding the saturation, or gimp removing the saturation when viewing in gimps editor, etc.
Also what happens when you open the already saved gimp image, in gimp again? Does it look just as saturated as viewing in mint's photo viewer, or does it look like the left side of your picture here?
Lmao trying to hide porn in the late 90's early 2000's is what taught me the concept of steganography. There was a windows app you could hide a file vault in an image using steganography, I tried it but eventually the file got corrupted and my stash was ruined, lol.
I'm not sure I would agree for arch if the OP wants low maintenance. I've never run it myself, but the way I've heard arch described is the further you go without regular updates the more likely you are to have a problem when you do update.
The Netflix TV show Dark. Holy hell. I missed SO much the first time. If you haven't seen this show do yourself a favor and watch it, the amount of detail is crazy, and the casting is top notch. Watch it in German with English subtitles though, the English dubbing is really, really horrendous.
I watched idiocracy at home a year or 2 after it came out, and I hated it because i felt like it beat you over the head with the message, like yeah I get it, I don't need to watch an hour more of this!
..then I rewatched it after our handling of covid and January 6 insurrection.. Thought to myself "yep... Thats how the future plays out.."
If you watched it now for the first time? In 2025? Fucking hell. I hate this timeline.
Aren't most app configurations and settings saved in the user's .config folder? Again you have to know to look for this, but that should be most of your settings right?
I mean, i feel obvious for saying this, but maybe others dont know: If we're just talking about apps, this is also a 1-liner in most package managers that you can even automate in a shell script
if we're talking more complex environments like a dev environment, mix of python packages, libraries, docker containers, etc obviously thats a lot of attention to manually save all of those details for later and something else should probably be used
