A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•What is a micro-retirement? Inside the latest Gen Z trend
3·1 年前Some jobs offer days off but usually salaried positions.
We don’t get an annual holiday like they do in the EU from what I understand.
Usually something like 2 weeks a year and that improves with seniority.
Some jobs are now offering unlimited PTO, but that is just a way to not pay us for our accrued PTO when they fire us.
I like having an unlimited PTO job for the ease of mind but I don’t take more than 2 weeks off with it.

A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Born into crisis, gen Z is saving for retirement like no other generation
11·1 年前True, not sure why I didnt think of that.
Maybe I mean any money we have in our savings accounts.

11·1 年前That’s just how retirement investments work. You don’t look at a single quarter, year, or even decade, you look at your entire working life plus retirement. And the market has always been ahead at those time frames.
I feel like that is unfair without more data.
Did the boomers lose a decade of growth on their retirements?
Relative to them the gen x’rs and millennials have had 1/5 less time for their assets to grow (assuming you save for around 50 years) when compared to wealthier generations. And it was relatively early in their careers when the money would have the most impact.

182·1 年前You are right, but what if rampant inflation makes all of our saving worthless?
These constant cycles of boom and bust have also effectively lost me 10 years on my 401k.
I don’t have the same faith you do that the market will even exist in 20 years, let alone my saving will do anything.
Sadly I’ve talked to 3 or 4 financial advisors and nobody has an answer other than “trust the market”.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Youtuber PewDiePie is going all in on deGoogling and the Steam Deck is one of the surprising tools that's helping him to 'escape'
144·1 年前I was gonna say, isn’t he a shithead? I don’t really know. Maybe he grew up.
Edit: sounds like he apologized, good for him!

Epic hates us. Why would we give them our money?
What keyboard? There is a small chance you can rip out the chip and replace it with a teensy running qmk. That will allow you to get it to work and be able to config it in Linux.
Not sure if it’s more or less work that RE’ing the communication, but it will require soldering

21·1 年前Not sure about TPU, but can any FDM printed material be food safe? I thought the layers (even with sanding) harboured bacteria.

Do they not understand that Medicaid recipients work? Often full time jobs or even multiple.
When will they have time to labor for farmers? Are they quitting their jobs? In that case they will need at least minimum wage, and farm workers get sub minimum wage, so the food system will collapse due to skyrocketing prices.
This is why we can only get immigrants to do the job in the first place.
