What's your desktop alternative?

I've tried for the nth time 3 years ago to use Linux desktop (Ubuntu).

It just takes Soo much effort to get things to work. Netflix and deactivate mouse acceleration(which isn't perfect) to name a few.

I love ubuntu server, favorite os of all time. But Linux desktop just isn't anywhere near Windows quality.

This is how United States politics work. The elite give money to regulate an industry.

Do elites ever give money to deregulate?

Yeah this is damage control.

I recommended stripe to a friend because a hn (ad?) That mentioned the documentation was great. He struggled and I couldn't help him without a deep dive.

To be fair, my WordPress website has no problem with stripe.

We are seeing both parties run Populist demagogues.

Yes people are getting fooled real bad.

The decline of democracy is here.

Blows my mind how many people ignore this problem when they demand more regulations.

Not embellishing.

And even at 4 a year I have this issue.

If 70 of the 7000 emails I send bounce or get marked as Spam, I get frozen until I ask for forgiveness.

AWS ses has convinced me Amazon and Google have too much power. 1% "spam" = frozen account

Could be bounces, but mostly just users who literally signed up clearly for my email list with 0 deception marking spam.

It's actually cut my content production down because I'm afraid to email. From 50 articles per year to 12 to 4 to 2.

Consumer pricing is the last to get hit with inflation.

Why do people use CPI instead of labor, housing, or stock prices to gauge inflation?

On a similar note, why would anyone trust the federal reserve's numbers given how the federal reserve has lied in the past?

I'm not sure these are real as much as these are put out by iota PR people.

Reddit had a massive issue with iota astroturfing.

I don't.

But I also don't like Facebook's forced news.

Reddit is decent as long as the subreddit isn't big enough to be astroturfed... But big companies can do searches...

This place is probably the worst out of the social networks I use for censorship.

Snapchat is good

The power of marketing is incredible.

No one else could get away with Tesla quality at luxury pricing, but they sell vehicles.

Making 1 app is fine. Web or Android, no problem. Both? Double your dev time.

React native you say? Double your dev time to learn a weird language.

Want to service 100% of people? Spend 1000$+ on apple products and beg Apple to let you publish.

The worst insurance you can get + max out of pocket is 12,000usd per year.

10 or 20 procedures, still 12k.

For the 10%ers/6 figure earners, this is 10% of the before tax income.

For the 90% making 15-19$/hr, I can't even imagine managing this.
