Its not a rug pull, most of these investment companies function just like banks, but instead of giving out loans, they invest most of the money that their clients(people like you and i) put into them into the stock market, and give the clients a cut of the profits. Just like banks, most of the capital these funds manage is not directly available, its in stocks, options, bonds, etc.... Say you want to cut your losses that the from your investment with that fund, thats no problem! They've got some cash reserves, and can immediately give you your money, and sell the shares later, you know run a minimal loss. But if more people start doing it, the fund will gradually become less powerful, less appealing and it will start to turn a loss that can not be recuperated with the profits off selling shares they own. How appealing/powerful they are directly depends on how much money they manage, because who trusts someone that says "yoo i can make you a lotta money man, gimme like a 100 bucks, whilst being broke and homeless.

Then, why invest your money in these funds, well, for one, they are enormous, can make much bigger investments and make much more money, and in turn you get a bigger cut. Secondly ivesting is very risky, but thesr guys have a litteral army of trained professionals that know more about this stuff than you and i will ever. They sell a security guarentee, like yeah we can invest your money, make a tiny bit of profit, but in turn, if something goes wrong you wont lose your life savings. Many even sell a warranty returns of 95 to 100% of the money you invest into them.

So to round things out, its not a rug pull, but its also not good. People do not trust the current economy and think its too volatile and think that whatever stocks their life savings are can at any moment plummet in the coming years. They think its much safer to take the money out and put it in a bank somewhere, thus shrinking the economy and exasturbating the problem. It is the meme, it is a recession indicator.

Edit : explanation was kinda garbadge, updated it to make sense

    Hi, ive spent the last day or 2 trying to get this game to work, which for most people runs out of the box. But in my case seems to be a sisyphean task. The problem im experiencing is massive frame times whilst the game is running. Ive tried most fixes ive seen online such as connecting a controller through wire, disabling nvidia reflex , disabling igpu, and finally forcing tsc as clocksource. AND YET the issue still persists. Its clearly not a nvidia driver issue since whilst in this frame lagged state it uses only 5% of dgpu resources. And i also very distinctly remember running this game on the same system a year ago, so its not impossible. I am very close to installing a ext4 driver on windows just so i can play this dammed thing but eww windows. Can someone of you very handsome people lend a hand? System specs: distro: endavour os session type: wayland CPU: AMD RYZEN 7 4800h with radeon graphics IGPU: AMD ATI RADEON VEGA DGPU: NVIDIA GTX 1660 TI DGPU drivers: latest (580.105.08)

    Update: The game now works, it was litterally just compiling shaders

    Uuh grub? (programming.dev)
     

    nvm a restart fixed it this happend due to accidentally holding down the down arrow for about 40 minutes. anyone know what on earth is happening here?

    also how does one stop the rapid mitosis of fedora's in grub, they keep multiplying

    gotta get a new printer (programming.dev)
     

    Greentings As youve seen from the the title, i want to get a new printer as a present for my parents. Sadly they are still windows peasants and my mom somehow thinks that the HP printer on her desk has been a good financial investment, even though it has costed us more than 300 bucks in ink over the past 2 years.

    I was hoping that you fine folks would have some good recommendations to replace this money leach on their home. Ive heard about the entire brother lazer meme going around, but the ones ive seen from them only do monochrome. And frankly speaking i dont think that my birth specimens can comprehend the greatness of 18 century film on their paper. Anyways have a nice day or night, internet strangers!
