Re:An Issue with Ssl.com on Friday April 26, 2024 @05:00AM (#40167257)
'SSL.com is evil and deceptive': the company is being accused of 'evil' and dishonest practices.

The customer, who previously purchased certificates from SSL.com, reported being unexpectedly charged $20 monthly for a service they did not subscribe to. As reported, efforts to resolve the issue and secure a refund proved futile, with the company's support team continuously deferring the matter to internal teams without resolution.

In the end, as the author points, Let's Encrypt seems to be the best option for TLS Certificates (and it is amazing!).

Ask HN: Is possible to have a Linux setup where Bluetooth just works?

Even with Kernel-compatible devices and custom BlueZ configuration, the UX for bluetooth devices on Linux is simple terrible. Even on Steam Deck, which is quite optimized and less-prone to errors, it is not the same as in other platforms. So I was wondering if nowadays it is possible to have a software and hardware setup where the things just works?

Yeah, this is insane. I also bought the game twice due to that buggy sh*t and that MS/Mojang poor integration, but fortunately they reimbursed one of the purchases after I opened a ticket to the support. But yeah, that UX is so bad...
I liked and, as some people commented, for wide adoption it is important to have some sort of customisation since every person have their own sense of what is relevant or not. But one thing that is missing imho is a RSS Feed. RSS is not dead and a lot of people still uses instead of consume a newsletter at their e-mails.
