Last time I tried it, I installed Ubuntu 18.04LTS, updated, installed the recommended graphics driver, and then the machine would not boot after that.

I recently tried 20.04LTS on a laptop, with an external GPU over tb3 - it works! However, I really struggled to rectify the display density of my external 4k with the laptop's built in 1080p. I had other show stopper bugs, besides bad scaling, however. :(

What you're missing is the ability to open a game for a quick session while keeping your work open in the background.

What you're missing is that desktop linux is famously unpolished, and worse, brittle. There's a list of known(!) issues with desktop linux that some guy updates - currently it has over 100 entries.

What you're missing is your system continuing to work after major updates (Windows 10's relatively recent and rare "big oops" bugs aside lol). Personally, I use w10 pro with deferred feature updates to mitigate this, which is kinda messed up but there you go. I simply can't afford an update to knock my desktop out, which has happened to me a few times with desktop linux.

What you're missing is that "works for me" works for you, but not for me.

In case you're wondering why I keep trying desktop linux, it's because what I'm missing is an open, free, libre, privacy-respecting desktop. These are values I take seriously enough that I pay yearly estimated license fees to the open source components I use in the form of donations.

iOS devices are empirically not general purpose computers, since their manufacturer deliberately specifies applications’ allowed and disallowed purposes.

> shouldn’t

I’m simply describing how things are and not making judgments about how they should be. Apple treats iPhones as appliances that have allowed and disallowed purposes, and rules of the road for app distribution. Every iOS developer who makes a living on the platform knows this is the deal. Going on your blog and acting all surprised that this is the case shows that you either don’t have much experience working with the platform or didn’t do your due diligence before getting into the business.

I am also a jazz musician.

this scale:

C# D# E F# G# A B C#

is C# Aeolian.

Minus the A natural, that is one collection of notes that is being strongly suggested by this app. Yes, an A# would would change the tonality, and the key.

To me, I hear the 9th scale degree relative to the tonic much more than the 6th (i.e. 13th). That's in general, and it's based on my own predilections and harmonic training. This scale includes a D#, as well as the 4th and 5th. I "hear" this as relative to C#, not G#. Totally welcome, of course, that you hear this as relative to G#; the E natural then functions as the minor 6th. To me, that's a much weaker harmonic suggestion than the E natural functioning as the minor third. It's totally OK with me that we hear this differently. Is it OK with you?

Also, why does it matter to you what I (some random person online) realizes (or not)?

A tattoo of just 1488, without any racist symbology, is ambiguous. There is nothing to make it distinctive from any other number.

Help me understand what you think an ambigous tattoo of 1488 should look like?
I think here's exactly your problem. All the freedom (to discretionaly spend) is now at the top, compared to the 1955. Today, people formally do get the money, but immediately they have to spend them again up on the medical care, rent, education and other required social services. (And debt service - I think debt servitude also plays a role in this.)

On the other hand, you tax corporations less. So the corporations (which are controlled by a small group at the top) have all the freedom to spend. But what would they buy? Will their spending increase their profit?

That's why you are not "building society" anymore - concentration of wealth. And as a result, people do have less freedom to spend (less money), and they will not engage in interesting endeavors.
> it's okay asking for ... a 30% cut to offer the user the convenience of paying via IAP rather than enter a credit card number

I do agree with you that it is ok (and arguably "fair") for Apple to charge a 30% fee for the convenience of IAPs. However, the real debate here is that some developers don't want IAPs, so should Apple be allowed to force them to add them?

Like the current HEY example, the developers aren't even taking money in the app, or allowing sign-ups in the app. You must be an already existing customer to use the app. But Apple is strong-arming them to add this functionality and to use these APIs that Apple gets a cut through. Should Apple be allowed to force them to add an feature to sign up and pay in the app (a function that was never planned or intended by the developers) just so that Apple can get their cut.

In OP's post he was strong-armed the same way. He had no need for any IAPs at all. He didn't even let users sign up in the app. In fact, the title of his app included the phrase "Existing users only". Yet Apple forced him to add functionality to enable IAP in the app to sign up new users, when his app is literally titled and designed around existing users and not new users. I would argue that this triggers the Anti-trust alarm bells.

Sure if you want to take advantage of the convenience that IAP provides, then let Apple charge whatever they want. If the amount is too high then developers would stop using it because it wouldn't match the value that Apple provides by their convenience. But what if I don't need in-app-purchases. Should developers be forced to add them when the app isn't even designed to use/need them? What if a developer doesn't need the convenience of IAPs and wants to take a credit card themselves? Shouldn't they be allowed to? The only argument that Apple makes in this fight is "We own the platform that ~50% of American smartphones, and if you want to participate in that market then you need to share the wealth you generate". Again, it sounds an awful lot like a monopoly.

Another example is Kindle and Audible. Apple won't let users buy Kindle or Audible books through the iOS App even though Amazon already has those credit cards associated with its' users' accounts. Kindle could enable one-click purchases (or even force you to type in a credit card every time), but Apple won't let them sell any books at all through the iOS app, citing the same rules as above.
> 30% is terrible, till you consider the alternatives

Only in the Apple iOS land. If I don't like Google Play's revenue cut, I can list my app on any of a dozen or so alternative stores (Amazon, F-Droid etc) and all Android Users can install my app. Same story on Windows, Linux and even Mac devices.

I understand it, I just dont think there's a purpose in arguing control of a platform they own. This site is heavily manipulated, the moderation is heavy, and censorship (things disappearing) make it hard to present evidence, just like the post in question 'disappeared' until it suddenly appeared.

It only changes how you should perceive the site, it doesn't change anything else. Understand that anything controversial or not in YC's interest will disappear and won't be available for 'evidence'.

This is a great place to talk about computer stuff, but I don't believe any narratives here are organic by default.
You aren't buying the Costco store when you enter, just as you aren't paying a membership fee to use someone else's phone as your own.

Members don't own Costco, Costco owns Costco, so Costco can dictate it's own shelfspace. You would not expect Costco to exclusively dictate what apps you can and cannot buy on your own phone or charge a premium to Costco competition.

The problem with this analogy is that in many cases the "app" is only part of the service, or a way to access the service.

Lets say I sell a service where you can mine a bitcoin. It costs me $2000 in electricity for every bitcoin I mine. I sell the service for $2200. I offer an app, to access this service. Apple wants 30% of the whole amount, not 30% of the value-add that app brings.

> In this way, I would say that systemd actually embodies the so-called "UNIX philosophy", by creating a bunch of separate daemons and systems

I think it doesn't, because if a service isn't integrated with systemd it has little chance of being distributed with a systemd distro. And if it can't be included, why package it at all? End result: it becomes up to the user to build it from the source and do everything else (config, integration, updates) on their own.
Yeah it’s almost as if devs getting their apps onto iOS makes it more valuable and dumps profit onto Apple’s balance sheet.
This is a pretty vague claim. Can you go into more detail on who the elite are and which kinds of collectivism they've been fighting against?
While you CAN sideload an app on Android, it would still be crippled on modern versions of Android, because it would not be able to receive push notifications. Coupled with the fact that recent versions of Android aggressively offload background apps from memory, many types of applications function with great difficulty.

This CAN be overcome by a special app that keeps connection with an alternative push notification server, but it would still be prone to offloading and would have to run a persistent notification.

The proper solution would be unlocking notification services on Android devices and allowing to chose alternative push notifications providers. This can also be applied to iOS.

Consumers didn't purchase the store. They purchased a phone, with a Store on it. On that same phone, there's another Store where Apple has zero control.

But consumers prefer the store Apple controls because the products they can get out of that store work better, due to the efforts Apple puts into the Store to make that so.

Developers want to sell in that store because they know users prefer products from that store, due to the efforts of Apple.

People would really like if Apple made it such that products from either store could do exactly the same things, but Apple is under no obligation to do that.

There's two routes you could go down - file a warranty claim on a higher-end card that provides extended warranties.

Cards usually also allow you to request a chargeback against defective goods for which a merchant refuses to make you whole. In this case you could probably call up Amex or whatever and say "I bought a laptop that is defective within the warranty period and apple refuses to RMA it, here's the proof..." and they'd do it no questions asked.

I've done both of these things with Amex and Chase and it's usually a painless process for each. With the chargeback route, however, it's common for companies to retaliate by closing your accounts or otherwise refusing you service until you reverse the chargeback. If you actually tried to chargeback the macbook I wouldn't be surprised if you found yourself with a "your iCloud account will be closed in 30 days" email. When I charged back a local CSA for refusing to cancel my subscription without an onerous phone tree despite multiple emails I received a voicemail saying, very politely, "Your account is now closed but you will be banned from ever opening a new account with us in the future."

Fine by me...
I think the problem is the way they lock in their users by holding their personal data hostage in heir ecosystem. Your music in itunes. Your already-paid apps in the appstore that won't transfer to android. Your ridiculously expensive phone. Your ridiculously expensive headphones that inexplicably won't work on android phone. They own their users. And then they own the store. So then, they own the app developers. It's bullshit. You don't get to own everyone all the time in all those market places just because you sit on a mountain of money. Screw apple.
The phone is the store in your analogy. You own it.

It is yours, yet you do not expect the previous owner to still forceably control the shelf space of your own store. Or exclusively take from your cash register.

Am I alone in thinking this isn’t Apple being as bad as others are making them out to be?

I’ll explain ...

Apple deeply cares about two things, (1) user experience and (2) user privacy.

Today, Hey iOS when downloaded IS NOT FUNCTIONAL if you didn’t know to already sign up for the service on their website. That’s a horrible experience and no one likes it. Especially Apple.

On Trust/Privacy, Apple is safe guarding users CardOnFile data with all of their advanced security features that they have worked directly with the major card networks that no small developers (or even frankly medium or large developer) could compete with. This benefits the consumer by reducing fraud, and not having your credit card data sitting in some developers data unencrypted. Apple also helps auto update cardonfile data when the card expires so that the developers don’t lose revenue just because of expired cards.

As for the 30% fee, why shouldn’t they get a cut? If the App Store was a physical brick and mortar store Like BestBuy, I guarantee you then BestBuy wants to make margin on products they allow in their store. (A) it’s a distribution channel to a consumer you as a developer don’t have, (B) there’s hard costs to putting your product in the App Store “shelf” and (C) Apple is providing all of the easy and secure payment processing on behalf of thr developer.

Note: I’m not trying to be combative. I’m just playing devils advocate and pointing out this topic is way more complex than others are making it out to be.

Yeah, I think I agree. My main original point wasn't simply that the accused parallel case was logical, but that it was more logical than any other case even if we assume illegal evidence was involved.

This is as opposed to say a police officer pulling over a drug dealer's car full drugs for failing to use a turn signal. If we assume illegal evidence was involved there, it's most logical the police were given some heads-up that there would be a drug dealer with a car full of drugs in the area to pull over, and the failing to signal on a turn was just used as a convenient excuse.

> Today, Hey iOS when downloaded IS NOT FUNCTIONAL if you didn’t know to already sign up for the service on their website.

The only reason for this is that Apple explicitly disallows apps from linking to or even mentioning subscription options that do not go through Apple's payment ecosystem and pay Apple's tax. Blaming the ensuing bad user experience on app developers is a case of "why are you hitting yourself?"

> As for the 30% fee, why shouldn’t they get a cut?

That 30% is, ultimately, coming from our pockets. Apple wants it because it prefers our money in their pockets. We, as the consumers, should fight back and demand it be lowered because we prefer our money in our own pockets. I don't understand why I should advocate that Apple should make apps more expensive and should take more of my money.
If you already know your project is going to be as big as Dropbox's entire codebase, salut don Corleone!

But otherwise, I feel like trying to choose the language that scales to a million lines sounds like dooming in the beginning itself by over-engineering. I attempted that myself but kept coming back to python because it's fast to code, it's forgiving as hell and its customizable. Once you're used to it's quirks you can breeze through it fast. I'm sure ruby and js have the same as well, and with ts you get better typing, but with the typing you can do with 3.8, I'll argue that python gives the _best_ of both worlds if it's especially mixed with a good IDE like pycharm. If you really want, you can also incorporate pytype or something from the get-go. If my Greenfield project's biggest problem is that python doesn't scale, then I'm a very happy man.
