Kurzer Rant über Etsy: Es gibt so viele verstecke Kosten und Bedingungen, denen ich einfach ausgeliefert bin. Beispielweise wurde mir jetzt bei einem Verkauf einfach Offsite Marketing Gebühren von 12-15% abgezogen (ohne genau zusagen, welchen der beiden Prozentsätzen für mein Konto konkret genutzt wurde. Das ist zusätzlich zu den 13% die sie eh pro Kauf abziehen. Das sind in Summe 28%. Abgesehen davon ist der Druck hoch ständig Rabatte einzustellen. Wie soll ich so vernünftig kalkulieren? (1/2)

Wenn Werbung im Fernsehen läuft, ist klar, dass das ein reines Profitprojekt ist.

Era evidente che le motivazioni dell'espulsione fossero pretestuose e basate sul nulla.
Va ringraziata la magistratura (ancora indipendente) altrimenti questi estremisti di destra importeranno il metodo Trump, ossia cacciare oppositori e persone non gradite al potere



If you're concerned about risk in the global financial services sector, the news that non-bank institutions assets now account for over half the financial assets in the global financial system might be cause for concern.

Its worrying enough that bank regulation is slowly being weakened (rolling back regulations put in place after 2008), but of course the non-bank institutions are even more lightly regulated; what could possibly go wrong?

It was largely the unregulated, bank-like institutions - which were typically over-leveraged to profit from securities on private debt (not only mortgage debt either, but also credit card and other loans) that caused the global financial crisis of '08. The so-called "shadow" banking system.

So this is indeed alarming news - especially given that many of the loans funding "AI" start-ups were similarly repackaged and securitized. When this bubble finally bursts it'll be catastrophic.



Firefox these days is just anti-trust insurance to Google and mooching those payments to a few. Just close shop and move on.


back in the 90s every vendor had their own weird unix with weird quirks and now in 2020 every vendor has their own linux with weird quirks


It's so easy to forget how stunningly beautiful an ordinary winter sunset can be, even at 4 in the afternoon. This was 20 minutes before (phone photo, the black and white "proper" photos won't look quite the same!).


I live in a place surrounded by fields and trees. Yesterday I looked out my window to see two Roe deer racing about, playing and frolicking in my neighbour's paddock. Pure magic!




My kidneys hurt like hell. I do NOT have time to get ill right now. I just don’t. This will not be a thing.
