I noticed the podcast at one point mentions neal.fun, so definitely custom made!

YNAB does keep the same category for the same merchant, but it’s not good at remembering the merchant name sadly. As an example, direct deposit payments are like “COMPANY INC DIRECT DEP 123~ Tran: Ach”, which I rename to just “Company”, and

At this point, the tools are so good that it’s close to zero effort on my part, and solves so many financial planning problems: One is, how much money do I actually have to spend right now? Account balances don’t mean anything here. You don

Cala with less steps, technically. No extra apps or text syntax to learn. Just drawing the math you learned in school as if on paper

Which is what cities tell you to do (Seattle is relatively specific about what kinds of plastic to put in the landfill vs to recycle), but that makes it complicated for consumers.

And best of all, not as good, and not open source!

Absolutely, and users can choose custom moderation and block lists to offload the work to someone else.

Tldw: The developer of the material theme for VS Code (3.7M installs) is alleging that others (like the variant for the Zed editor) are violating the theme’s software license. (Going as far as to write an article saying to avoid Zed because

Since when is forcing a company to give you more options considered an “iron curtain”?

Any kind of interoperability is optional to you to use, so why would you want Apple to force you to not even have the choice if you wanted it? Apple has vast amounts of extra money, so it’s hard to imagine why they’d be forced to stop dedic

And you’re going to remember that at a job interview 10 years later after never dealing with it after class? Uh, no. I took through calc 3 + discrete math, but didn’t have to take the full linear algebra course for the BS in CS. I’m sure I

I agree with you that Automattic needs a paradigm shift (massive leadership change, probably), but I don’t think the openness of their software is the problem. Just because they have a huge number of OSS projects. Most of it is open source,

100%. Severely reduce outsized executive pay and investor profits, and only let people work half as much. Everyone gets a 3 day work week. Company can now hire almost double the amount of people if they want to stay open :p Or, excess profi

Tiny startups can’t afford to loose customers because they can’t scale though, right? Who is going to invest in a company that isn’t building for scale? Tiny startups are rarely trying to build projects for small customer bases (eg little s

Added to that is user choice over moderation and algorithms. That’s what’s truly interesting about BlueSky. It allows for side A and B to both exist, with people who want to be more isolated in a safe space (so to speak) to do so. That’s a

As far as I can tell, all content on ATProto is fully public without auth

by anon7000 2y ago
I mean, the way AT Proto is designed, moderation primarily happens on the app layer, not the protocol layer. So on an app like Bluesky, you can have a lot of moderation. But the protocol itself allows hosting arbitrary content in a distribu

by anon7000 2y ago
So the ToS explicitly says Bluesky does NOT own your data. However, data on AT Proto is fully public and it’d be trivial for someone to extract the data for AI to train. For example, this app shows you entries hosted on the protocol: https

I actually disagree. (I agree that engagement-driven algos are cancer though. And that they developed for money reasons, not to help users. So maybe I agree with you actually lol) I never used Twitter back in the day. I’m trying out BlueSky

I mean, being misaligned with company leadership is a great way to loose your job. I worked at a medium sized company which is known for having a good culture. Everyone was kind & helpful, there was loads of autonomy, never any kind of

WordPress.com didn’t even allow plugins until ~6yr ago, so it really wasn’t a meaningful option for serious sites —- aka sites with money. It was a predominant blog hosting site for a while, but there isn’t as much money in that market. Oth

Importantly, WordPress.com is not a predominant WP host! (Which is part of why Matt is lashing out, I think.) Yes, it hosts a huge number of small sites, many for free, but Automattic’s revenue comes from a lot of products. (Including e-c
