I like FOSS (free and open source software). Have contributed bug reports and feature suggestions to open source projects that got accepted (e.g. the ability to block instances on lemmy). Check out my github if you’re into that kind of stuff.

i look up reviews and rating on alternativeto.net , search it on openhub and sometimes add projects i might be interested it (openhub reports development activity). i sometimes search for reddit for what people say about it.
There are a bunch of websites for user reviews, but honestly i haven’t used them really iirc.
And you should care what people you don’t know on the internet think because… ?
social media is not a reliable source. it can expose you to new information, but it is not reliable .
Feedback is how you learn. how you find out what works and just as importantly what don’t work.
i think there was a study that showed that people that take a course on decision making have lower anxiety. it makes sense, once you do a risk-reward analysis and consider alternatives it makes you accept the risk and act despite it. realizing the anxiety is unhelpful or ineffective repeatedly leads to Desensitization and eventually reduces it.
with that said, there might be some underlining issue and you need to work on self regulation skills. using stuff like CBT/ACT/NSDR/meditation/stoicism. there is a open source test for the big five personality test. if you score high on neuroticism, it might indicate you should work on it.
Open Source@lemmy.ml•Billionaire Bill Ackman: Microsoft is a great business. Microsoft 365 package has 450M users. It would be nearly impossible to disrupt thatbywiki_me@lemmy.mlEnglish
2 monthsaccording to the internet he has a return on investment of about 9% in the last 10 years (CAGR). msci world index (which is usually used to compare to see how well a fund performs, and has index funds which track it) made around 13.65% (so a lot higher).
So i would not put too much attention to this guys opinion, sure maybe he is taking less chances (less scary drops in the fund value that some investor don’t like) but looking at the graphs it doesn’t seems that way.
I think it’s a good to do this exercise , a lot of active investing seems like snake oil (although probably not all of it, at least according to some data and research). someone even wrote a book on the subject called “Where are the Customers’ Yachts”.








Market share of linux in canada has been gradually increasing for around 2 decades (download the CSV for a clearer representation of the data). the more popular linux becomes the more likely it is the government will switch to it (more software support, funding etc).
