Wow, this is a lot of work. Thanks a lot for open-sourcing it!
bevax · 6 years ago
Only, it is not open sourced: https://docs.n8n.io/#/faq?id=is-n8n-really-open-source

Deceptive tactics.

That might be a case for the Swedish implementation of GDPR.

Damn, I just installed it 2 days ago.

What should I switch to?

bevax · 7 years ago
You don't need to. As they describe in a blog post, it essentially turns into plain Arch.

Maybe Manjaro fits the bill?

https://manjaro.org/

I never used Antergos but last I used Manjaro it seemed pretty good.

Personally, I’m looking to see concepts like GuixSD and NixOS be extended and remixed. I’m imagining a world where you have a control panel that changes declarative settings then commits them by rebuilding the system...

Opposite to Antergos Manjaro is a) using solely their own repos, not also Arch's and b) come bloated (far too many applications installed by default) and themed out of the box.

Until the Firefox quantum update, the reason a lot of sites only worked in Chrome, was that it was the only browser with kind of decentish performance.

Rather Electrolysis. Switched it on when it was not default yet, and happy with it. That killed the performance plus for Chrome (Chromium at least), but either way I was never satisfied enough with Chromium.
bevax commented on What If Amazon.com Actually Is a Horrible Website?   buzzfeednews.com/article/... · Posted by u/smacktoward

that seems like the google way of building product. you test all these micro changes but miss out on the macro changes the site actually needs, which doesn't really work out. no one can argue that amazon has good ux. from product to product and day to day the website layout changes. each product site has just a ton of data thrown up on it. it has horrible tracking of product purchases. for example, if looking at a paperback book, it gives no indication that you may have purchased the hardcover. it has terrible management of books that may have multiple editions. buying older books takes some time because they'll often have multiple pages for the exact same book. pre-ordering is a mess. i have been sent two video games before because i pre-ordered a game super early which then apparently got a new product page. i thought i had never pre-ordered it some time later and amazon didn't mention it, so i ordered it again since it gave no indication i had ordered that exact product. the search is not great either. comparing products is non-existent. just cycling through various options like color can be a chore just to see a different price.

just because they have a process doesn't mean it works. but yea, like someone said, i guess the general user doesn't care. i know it has lessened my use of the site.

And there might have well reason to change the small things only, but nothing fundamentel. People hate change. If they start to turn the website upside down, their customers would start to whine, and cry, and complain. A lot of wasted time they could spend with buying stuff.

So, it ugly and bad as hell, but everybody is trained and accustomed to it. Why risking confusing customers without need?

Is there any good alternative that has Linux support and isn't Google Drive? And supports shared folders?

And how's that related to CCC?
bevax · 8 years ago
A local branch of them was affected, too. Police did not care much whose rooms/buildings to raid.

I mean they probably justify it with “the boss told me to do this, so I will because I live in San Francisco and my rent is $2500 a month and I want to keep my job”. It’s hard to make a stand when someone else will just do it.

In that case you have the wrong employer.
