Recently I watched a video on J.J. McCullough's channel about his experience with technology in his childhood, and how it is different from today's kids' experiences. Here, I add my own thoughts.

The controversial discussion thread on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmasterrace/comments/tzirxc/why_would_anyone_want_to_use_arch_linux/
As an operating system is only a tool to operate our computers, maybe we should chose a tool that fits the purpose we want to use it.
So, it would be nice if people would not just over hype OSes like Arch Linux, but actually were aware of the pros and the cons.

To be "Free software", it's not enough to make your software and source code available free of charge. To be "Open Source", you need to do more than having a GitHub repository where people can submit changes to your program. You need to license your work under a Free Software Foundation or an Open Source Initiative approved license.

Ponzi schemes, or "Robbing Peter to pay Paul" schemes, as they were called originally are not new, but it's always interesting to stop and wonder how exactly they work.
In this video we take a look how these works using a simple spreadsheet, and then compare it a modern, popular investment vehicle.

What would you do, if you found out, that one of the YouTube personalities you enjoy actually got fined for consumer protection violations because they were using everything from the scammer's toolbox to boost sales of their programs?

In this video we discuss what is the most important aspect about saving money for your future.
Is it interest rates? Is it the amount saved? Or something more?
