  • They still have 9.5% commission(or this drops to 8.5% if you pay $1000 artisan fee!), compared to Etsy which works out to be around 11-12% on most of the items I sell.

    It also doesn’t link with my inventory management software. Etsy does, eBay does, Woocommerce does, Facebook does. It also doesn’t integrate with my shipping software, so I need to manually generate labels.

    The benefits seem very minimal for a lot of caveats. If you have 1 or 2 products then fine, but when you have 10’s or 100’s of products, the time to list these on a site that will have a lot less traffic is way too long. I have a 2% gain in my profit margin, but a tonne more hassle.


  • For the wallpaper you could have a custom print run done. I own a small printing company in the UK and we do bespoke wallpapers from time to time. Not sure where you’re based, but I’m sure you could find someone localish to you.

    With regards to the design, unless you happen to find an exact match, which I’m doubtful of, you would end up just ‘taking a guess’ to create the rest of it. Or adapt the design into something you like yourself so you have old and new both in one.



  • +1 for iPhone. Is it as private as GrapheneOS? No. Is it more private than almost all out of the box android phones? Yes.

    Apple still use a lot of your data, although they at least claim to anonymise most of it. But that data stays internal to try boost more apple sales, and isn’t sold to other companies. I’d rather 1 company have my information than 100.

    Any apple apps you don’t want are easily removed once it’s set up and they don’t come back with updates etc.


  • The title is a bit clickbaity. He wasn’t stopped from boarding, he had to go through additional security checks. He claims he was told he had to go through the checks because his name was Mohammad… although that’s just him saying that.

    I live in UK and I’d say around 50% of the flights I’ve taken to/from US I’ve been pulled aside for extra checks. Many times both on the way out and way back for a 100% check rate on that single trip.

    If they did actually say it was due to his name being Mohammad then yeah that’s really bad, but this sounds like they’re making something of nothing. And at no point was he stopped from boarding.
