When I posted my project, gethly.com, I got zero engagement here. Then, any link to a blog post was automatically blocked by HN. So real things get buried like this and AI slop is being promoted to front pages. Market saturation at its wors

When this might have been a problem in the past, I basically always reminded myself that there was nothing i could not do. Whatever problem or obstacle I faced, I always overcame it. And that always gave me confidence. Plus, allow yourself

I have experience with elderly trying to use a mobile phone. No, not a smart phone, just a basic brick before smart phone was a thing. It was painful to see how incapable of retaining the most basic information they were. So no, the web is

I don't think it's any different than product hunt. Nobody cares because the market saturation reached critical mass.

It's not about clicking, it's about time spent on the platform, looking for what you're actually after. The longer it takes you, the bigger their attention numbers get and the more ads they can show you.

Because google decided to prioritise profit above all, so all their services were made to keep you engaged - more searching, more clicking, more viewing, more time wasting....by giving you bad results, forcing you to work for it and stay on

The entire US economy stands on AI hype. There is nothing else. Once it pops, USA will finally go into stagflation. The markets were rigged for way too long and the dollar has overstayed its welcome. Things will get bad, very bad. 2008 was

Braintree is now essentially paypal, so that is off the list. Adyen is good but can be strict with what businesses they support. In short, i recommend using local providers, not these multinationals. Each country has a bunch of them, so the

nope. i don't even think ibm were being widely sold at all. ultrastar rings a bell, somewhat, but definitely not ibm hard drives. and i'm talking early 2000s here.

Don't use stripe. It's none of their business and they already have a bad reputation.

Sure, but Zig has way more money and people working on it. And Jai has inspired all of these new languages so all they had to do was to steal John's ideas whereas he had to actually think very hard about them and do countless iteration

I've read Bun is just a wrapper, not actual Zig implementation anyway. Also, making a financial database in beta language that constantly changes and breaks is "really smart".

he said it in a video, i think it was in the recent wookash podcast. although you might fing a short clip of the segment somewhere.

UPDATE: doing full installation mitigated all of the issues. The problems were caused mainly by LiveCD mode.

Thanks for the reply. I used KDE. And sure, Gnome's Nautilus might have worked but I have huge distaste for it(it's pretty, but omg what a pain to set up to be an actual DE, let alone out of the box). Anyhow.. "You can open a
