I don’t quite understand how this is an issue.

I mean personally I’m happy with anonymised ads from DDG in return for anonymised Bing searches (+their own guffins) but I think it’s fair enough, if you really want to see no ads, that some turn to Kagi.

Looks great. Will definitely try out.

Day to day I just use LunaSea. Added convenience of being able to add a film from a phone.

You’ll be able to fit a finger under it I bet.

Would HAVE. Could HAVE.

The original author tried to turn it into a business. Turns out that was next to impossible up against YNAB. Gave it to the community who’s keeping it current.

I’ve literally just switched to Actual (3 days in) after living out of a homemade Excel YNAB clone for years and years. Overall it’s great and the bank syncing really works (except with a weird issue around starting date and starting balance).

I love that it’s open source, E2E encrypted, self-hostable and the data lives in a SQLite database.

If I haven’t found any major snags, I’ll of course become a supporter in a couple of weeks.

Yes, it works a treat in the EU (due to PSD2, which mandates open banking) and U.K. (which is copy/pasting PSD2 to ensure their banks aren’t left behind).

I’m syncing with Handelsbanken UK, American Express, Lloyds, Monzo and Starling, all in the UK. Works a treat except most of the banks actually rate limit you to a couple of syncs per day.

Depends on where you live. Many places you can’t trust the government and they know almost nothing about you.

In Scandinavia every citizen has a registration number and the government has deployed state-enforced online digital identity system.

It’s not a privacy nightmare if you can trust the government. And in Scandinavia you generally can.

The board doesn’t care about the number of people employed. They care about the current profitability and future profitability.

Of course that’s their job; to look after shareholder interests. And the money would move to a better investment if they didn’t.

It’s the whole system you need to change, if you seek change, not moan about an individual CEO.

Linus unprofessional?! Surely you jest!!

There will be a million security issues across all OSS. Some of it will be intentional; if so definitely don’t expect it to be a “findable” back door. It will be a set of vulnerabilities across several projects, that when combined allow the perpetrators privilege-escalations or a known path through a security system. Removing “Russians” from contribution doesn’t actually stop that, everyone can use a VPN and work as an American or whatever, but it does send a signal.

Got it. Saying “this is how free markets always end” if they meant “free markets tends to move towards monopolies” confused me.

Yes but the statement was “this is how free markets always end”. And I’m just wondering if the commenter has actually been around to see “free markets ending.”

Sorry have you been around to observe a lot of free markets ending?

I said “the ones I’ve come across”. Thats as “leap free” as I can make that statement.

I agree re AWS; they’ve already got super disgruntled staff and they definitely cannot afford to lose good staff from this.

But the leap you’re making is between a single statement from one CEO and the nebulous “they”.

I’ve been pretty close to billionaire CEOs in my career and certainly the ones I’ve come across have been well equipped to handle the job, well adjusted and well meaning.

That strikes me as a bit of a leap.

Is that an opinion or backed by facts? I’ve never seen someone fired from a C-level role only to be hired into an investor’s other investment.

An office is also a great place to hide away as “busy”; shuffling around, a bit of time at desk, join a meeting and say nothing, coffee, lunch, shuffling, another meeting with low contribution and you’re gone. Doing nothing is just as easy, and less assailable, in an office.
