TMTG is also active in financial services, and the company announced US$2.5 billion in funding a year ago to invest in cryptocurrencies, one of Trump’s recent passions.

But the plunge in digital currencies hit this part of the business hard as the price of Bitcoin tumbled from over US$126,000 in early October to below US$70,000 in March.

It has since rebounded somewhat to over US$80,000.

Because the company is required to reveal the value of its investments, even if it hasn’t sold them, it recorded a loss of US$406 million for the first quarter.

“The vast bulk” of the loss was due to digital assets, the company stated.

So the parent company is also a crypto bank that lost value when their crypto lost value. Just another kind of grift.

Pour sugar in the concrete mix.

I can confirm this. My community is a unique collection that has never existed before, available to all. The upvotes tell me if what I post is actually good or if I’m just biased toward it.

Asking Trump to read a chapter from the Bible is like asking ChatGPT to count to 200. He is incapable of speaking that long without making stuff up. If it’s pre-recorded, watch for it to be a deepfake.

Indeed, she could’ve been a national hero.

Trump easily meets the requirements for an Antichrist too.

From Website Carbon:

Nice! Less than 0.01g of CO2 is produced every time someone visits this web page.

Holy shit! That web site lives up to its name! I want to redesign my site to be that fast and elegant.

Is it hunting season for oppressive leaders of soverign nations? Do us next, please!

Magic carpets are generally safe. It’s hard to fall and get hurt unless you’re stupid.

If it’s you doing the #levitation magic, it helps to focus on an object underneath you, like a carpet, a broom or whatever. Balancing on it is sitting on a pool floatie. If you got yourself up in the air and lose the carpet somehow, you probably have enough flying skill to land safely without one. Now, if you fly 2-3 km up and lose consciousness from lack of oxygen, you’re cooked, but that’s your own fault.

If you aren’t magical and the carpet itself doing all the work, then the carpet is your mount, like a horse. Well-trained mounts can feel the rider’s weight shift around and try to keep you seated. Just don’t make the carpet angry, or it might buck you off.

The PC Gamer article’s title also says “upgrade or”. That’s a heck of a detail to editorialize out of the title.

From the Mozilla post it cites:

After this, no security updates will be provided and you are strongly encouraged to upgrade to a supported Microsoft Windows version.

Or, if your current hardware can’t handle Windows 10 or higher for some reason, you can switch to a Linux-based operating system. The vast majority of Linux distributions come with Firefox as the default browser.

I agree switching to Linux is the better option. I want to try Bazzite.

I already assume everything I wrote on the Internet is eternal. Of course, data is free and people will use it for stupid stuff like this. This doesn’t surprise me.

I’ve been using a Fairphone 4 for a couple weeks, and I like it so far. This is the way phones should be made. I eventually found replacements for most of my Google stuff. It’s just sad that my government burned our bridges with trade, so any replacement parts I import will be expensive.

I hope college football fans start bringing signs with Plato quotes to Texas A&M games.

…on state television, an Islamic Revolutionary Guard official warned parents to keep their children away from protests, saying, “If… a bullet hits you, don’t complain.”

Bad move, Tehran. Now another country might give these protesters guns. My country has just the kind of idiot in charge who would arm then.
