  • I don’t dislike the Adam’s Family nor the Munsters, but I have blocked both communities because they each had a ton of submissions on the same day, and they were dominating my feed.

    There’s nothing wrong with slowly submitting content. Submitting too much, too quickly makes it hard to distinguish from spam.

    Just my opinion. I understand that you are looking to build something, and therefore you disagree on submission frequency.














  • Waaaay easier on a longer timeline too! I first used Linux in the late 90s when the things the author of this piece talks about were true. You really did need to understand more than an average computer user just to get Linux installed.

    That hasn’t been the case in a long, long time now, at least not with the easier distros.

    What articles like this often fail to discuss is that Windows took effort for everyone to learn at some point too. Same with macOS. Same with your smart phone.

    Learning anything requires effort, and not everyone wants to invest that effort - which is totally okay if they already get what they need from whatever they’re already using. But I wish that people would stop exaggerating how hard Linux is to learn simply because it will require effort.


  • As far as I can recall, there will simply be a note on your credit report that the collection is contested. For the small credit union where I worked, contested or not, you were disqualified for all loans and credit.

    I haven’t worked in that industry in 15 years now, but I don’t imagine much has changed.

    I hate our credit system and I think it needs to be torn down. It’s predatory and we don’t even attempt to educate people about how it works (or we didn’t when I was in school).
