    I loaded up my Fidelity account with cash from my checking account and also rerouted my paychecks to directly deposit into it to get MAXIMUM returns from the FZFXX money market fund. I'm getting close to 5% on Fidelity's money market and the monthly dividends have been a source of slight comfort in hedging against this insane inflation.

    As a bonus, I can also deploy my idling capital on a moment's notice if I happen to like a stock that I've done background research and analysis on.

    Aside from this, I've also been making full use of my credit cards by maximizing cashbacks and rewards, and paying them off in full at the end of the month, of course.

    I'm not surprised considering Musk fired a big chunk of their engineering and tech team and are now basically left with a bunch of underpaid H1B wageslaves managing the vast codebase.

  5. Does Tildes need a new icon?

    ~tildes Ask (survey)
    I was just thinking about it. Tildes' current icon looks like a /r/wallstreetbets graph, haha. I think we could use a nice mascot that's based on a cute animal of some sort. :) Would love to hear...

    Another Atom One Dark fan here, though I still have a soft spot for classic 'Black.' Both work well on my phone's OLED display.

    Another thing I noticed about Tildes (as someone who joined literally just a few hours ago) is that fact that the reply box to a post is right at the bottom, which I think is wonderful because it forces the reader to skim/read through the comments before crafting a response instead of just smashing keys in rage or <insert emotion>.

    Great work by u/Deimos
