m1n7on Startup Mortality Rates

a 0x return would be them getting back what they invested, right? (otherwise pretend i said 1-2x)

everything above that is a pointless perversion when capitalism is killing our planet and the majority population has to suffer, just because someone somewhere wanted bigger numbers...

m1n7on Startup Mortality Rates

  - 25% of investments make zero return (i.e. 100% write offs)
  - 25% produce a return greater than zero but less than 1x (i.e. are losses)
  - 25% produce a return between 1x-3x
  - 15% produce a return between 3x-10x
  - 10% produce a return of 10x or greater

  If you bucket the first two as "zeros" or near zeros, the third one as "something you wish you hadn't invested in" and the last two as good investments, you get to roughly the same 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 that I like to use.

so breaking even is bad all of a sudden... and who needs a return greater than 0-1x when everyone's getting paid and you have a little on the side for emergencies?

m1n7on Aeon: OpenSUSE for Lazy Developers

i think it's possible to have both. we just haven't decided how to implement these improvements, that's why we see so many different immutable/snapshot/… distros with lacking ux — for now

m1n7on Mac users served info-stealer malware through Google ads

are you implying that consuming media whilst blocking ads is stealing or do i just not get the sarcasm here. genuinely can't tell.

you're right about the second part i guess. not everything is intended for a public audience (like some cringe video clip with friends from a few years ago). with everything else (cinema, music etc.) i'd argue that my need for entertainment is more important than making sure some billionaires make 20 bucks on my purchase, especially if i can't afford it.

personally, i pirate everything and pay for stuff made by independent creators (foss devs, indie artists etc.) that i really like. perfectly moral

m1n7on On the trail of my identity thief

nah you only need to do it once for subscriptions, but you can revoke access.

with other purchases it depends on the site. some ask you every time and others don't. i'd assume charges in the same range don't have to be approved again, but idk how it works exactly

m1n7on I might've been a rocket scientist (like my dad), but I was a girl

just that the problem there is not with women working, but missing regulation. you shouldn't have to spend half your income on rent.

m1n7on Google workers arrested after protesting company's work with Israel

that's only true as long as you have media that at least tries to inform the public with good journalism.

the dw is a fascist publication that only cares about making money off people with misdirected anger by spreading hate. it has no value.

m1n7on A seafood firm wants to farm octopus. Activists say they're too smart for that

If I were to make dinner out of you, you'd probably agree that that's suffering—no need to get more philosophical than that.
