Problem is when you procrastinate because manually importing transactions and correcting them is just annoying enough to make it a hassle. Then the transaction batch gets too large and you can’t remember details anymore so you give up and don’t track your budget at all.
That’s been my experience in the past at least.
It’s more complicated than just a spreadsheet but not as complicated as regular programming. You will want to learn general accounting practices like double entry bookkeeping to really understand how to use it though.
Seems to me that anything beyond the actual hosting and serving of the video file is unnecessary to include by default in a federated video streaming solution…
You are basically saying “Other than the most expensive and complicated parts” the rest is easy or unnecessary. Which isn’t necessarily accurate but still is being a bit dismissive of the problems at hand.
And one of the biggest criticisms of Peertube (aside from the dearth of content, which helpfully avoids the “expensive/complicated” parts) has been Discoverability. How do people watch your videos (or your playlist) if they don’t have a way of knowing that your videos even exist?
It proceeded without incident but I couldn’t help feeling nervous to trust that its lidar saw me and it interpreted me as a human.
I can’t say I view an average driver with any more trust though.
I guess it depends on how much you trust a company (both now and in the future) to do something they shouldn’t with this kind of setup, whether on purpose or though incompetence.
Personally, I don’t software silently installing unrelated services to my machine just in case the company decides they want to have it running on my machine in the future.
That’s surprising to hear. Netflix has always been a step above, Hulu is decently behind. The rest are pretty rough from my perspective, but slowly getting better over time. Amazon was definitely miserable to use for a long time and I don’t think had anything but a basic “fast-forward/rewind” functionality with no thumbnails for quite a while.
The Peacock app and streaming has been hit or miss on plenty of occasions.
I think the worse is the Disney app that makes it difficult to just replay a movie that’s already been watched. It likes to resume at the end of the credits of the episode you want to watch rather than realize I want to watch the whole episode not just the final 10 seconds of credits. Or that switching between an episode when watching something from your “Previously Watched” list means finding the series on an entirely separate list in the UI.

Can anyone confirm that my understanding of the source article is correct?
The “Windows 12 may require a subscription” is coming from the fact that the word “Subscription” exists in a Windows config file somewhere?
That seems like a pretty big leap to me. Not that I don’t think it’s impossible that Microsoft would do this, but the evidence here seems thin to say the least.
The competition should be about having the best platform, not exclusive content.
Those both sound like competition to me. What you are really asking for is “I want things to be cheaper” which is a separate and sometimes related issue to competition, but separate nonetheless.
The path to lower prices the way you want would be government-mandated price controls on the industry.
What information in the leaks do you think prove how dangerous Microsoft is?
“Electronic or appliance product” or “product” does not include any of the following:
(i) Equipment or repair parts as defined in Chapter 28 (commencing with Section 22900) of Division 8 of the Business and Professions Code.
(ii) A product or component of an “alarm system” as defined in subdivision © of Section 7590.1 of the Business and Professions Code, including a fire protection system, as defined in the California Fire Code.
(iii) A video game console.
Funny seeing such a specific exclusion being made here.
I wouldn’t consider blockchain “simple”. Especially when the alternative truly is simple, where the system is based on a “single” source of truth.
No one is really posting content to any of the alternatives really. Maybe if you are really into crypto-hype or other very niche topics, there will be a little content. But not much.
To be honest, I never use Wordpad.
Either I just need to edit something quick, where Notepad excels, or in going to use just about any other option for text editor or word processor.
It’s surprising to see how much attention this is getting. And I can’t help but think how many people commenting about it actually use it to any real degree.
That top comment is ridiculous.
The article clearly outlines where people are paying for this content. And the idea that “no one is allowed to talk about this topic while human trafficking exists” is nonsense.
People need to learn to read before commenting on an article. The article isn’t that long. Maybe spend more time actually fighting human trafficking than virtue signaling on social media if it’s the only topic you feel is important.
…meanwhile, piracy automatically downloads new episodes often mere hours after it’s released, for free, you don’t have to actively manage subscriptions
I wasn’t aware that any such setup still worked with minimal setup. The ones I’ve seen reference in the past were shutdown and more torrent sites are getting shut down all the time.
Are you talking about private trackers? Because those can be hit or miss, assuming you can even get access to a good one at all.
…much cheaper blocks can perform the same task just as well.
We don’t actually know this since no one actually test it, just to be clear.
Unless you are going the “My minivan works just as well as Ferrari for driving to work” angle, which isn’t what the high-end tech segment is really about.
Agreed, I wasn’t necessarily speaking about this specific issue, just about the broader issue of Patreon and the lack of good alternatives.
When you use Stripe/Paypal as your payment processor you have to be willing to accept whatever demands they (and the banks backing them) decide to make on any given day.
I don’t know, I’m really interested in all these internet services that are 100% safe from hackers. Sounds like very useful information that should be shared around.
