ace_hunteron Windows OS, Services and Apps: Network Connection Target Hosts (2021)

I am surprised people on hackernews are still regurgitating talking points from 20 years ago - Linux on Desktop is quite terrible ? When was the last time you used Linux ..

I have been using Linux systems from the past 10-15 years and they have been my daily driver for almost everything - and I live on my computer. Never have I faced any issue that can't easily be solved. (If at all there were issues)

ace_hunteron Windows OS, Services and Apps: Network Connection Target Hosts (2021)

I have been using ubuntu and flavors for well over 12 years. I gotta tell you, never has anything of what you describe happen to me.

And I am a menacingly wild-user. I put my systems through a lot! I do a lot of full-stack development, arduino(and other iot stuff) coding, blender work (3d), inkscape, gimp, a lot of audacity for audio, a lot of kdenLive for video-editing..

and my laptops (although always being mediocore in spec) never broke a sweat. And I have never ever had to 'format' my PC cuz I'm locked out of it.

So, maybe, it's you who doesn't understand how to use the system. Maybe!

ace_hunteron Show HN: Kaado.io – Unifying Personal Productivity

I did create an account to try it out. I like the premise. Sounds interesting. But the UX needs a bit of work.

You forcing me to create a card for each type in the beginning was irritating. I didn't need that hand-holding. You can have a 'help, if needed' that would walk you through the various card types.

Reduce the border-radius, it is too curvy (in my opinion.. but that's just me)

Why did you add all my cards into a 'deck' ... that wasn't explained. I don't think a deck is necessary ... or you can keep it, in case someone wants it.

When I enter into my deck, I can see the cards, but zero way of knowing which type of card it is... unless I click on the card .. .

there is no way for me to see all cards of a certain type ...

Okay, so the UX is definitely a work-in-progress - you need to fix it. But I like the premise..

ace_hunteron Part time job at 13? Learning PageMaker for fun and profit

Excerpt:

I did not say a word. I kept looking at the entire operation. People coming in, with instructions on how to fix a design or how to print a letter head or a business card and Abdulkareem would fire up one of the most iconic software for me back in the day, Aldus PageMaker 5.0. I would see him move blocks of text, zoom in and out of an endless landscape of white screen where he would with quick shortcuts and super fast mouse movements play with letters, designs, placements like it was no big deal.
