Thanks for the link.

Rather a scatter gun approach, affecting normal blogs; surveillance state. Thanks Tories.

Fuck. They told me that they were storing my backups.

I have used GNUCash for maybe a decade (sounds impossible to me) but it's actually difficult to get much out of it for all the data one puts in. I'm in the XML data store I think, so maybe the SQL data implementation is better.

The graphs are ok and correctly setting up sub accounts as virtual envelopes within your normal account for your current account allows you to replicate the buckets/envelopes/spaces in, say, Starling bank (UK bank which sells its software to other banks as hussle).

I'm looking to set up something like Actual Budget (server) going forward.

Starting every sentence with "So". "So" being the way to indicate the beginning of a sentence.

[UK] I carry phone and keys. I pay for everything with my phone. Twerking on street corners as a Gen X for cash isn't profitable anymore.

If I know I need ID, eg. Costco, I have my old fashioned wallet in my jacket pocket. I keep meaning to set up the Costco ID on my phone. Doesn't happen.

The number of times I open or reach for my wallet is maybe twice a month. Frigging barber still wants to be paid in cash, and all the 20th century banks and their ATMs are closing .. [so now they have 20th century tech and no way to interact efficiently with the public. Haha!].

I'm very increasingly anarchist as I get into my sixth decade - UK 2020s feels like 1970s again so screw the useless thieving politicians - so I should be actively pro-cash but I'm actually more pro-crypto pro-barter (especially pro barter) in the real world. Long ago l learned that if I have physical cash, I piss it up the wall, but I'm careful with credit card cash. No idea why. I never have more than £30 in notes on me; that's enough money to buy a Costa coffee for you yanks.

Sadly, that means I can't give cash to the odd homeless. Not too many homeless with contactless readers. Maybe that'll be rabbit-in-headlights Kier's big thing: contactless readers for the destitute veterans that the armed services and government abandoned (I came of age around Falkland conflict).

Mostly in times of economic growth and very positive sentiment. It's the antidote to the catch-22 that you can't get a particular job without the experience but can't get the experience without the job.

Simply put 'fake it until' applies when you can put experience you don't (quite) have on a CV; get the job and acquire the experience before it is ever tested in any meaningful way. That only really happens in a period of rapid economic expansion (whether that be in your (their) business, sector, or country wide). In such cases no-one really knows what they're doing.

I don't have much experience of celeb or influencer culture FITYMI - finding someones parked Lamborghini or private plane and dancing in front of it for a TikTok pretending that is yours.

That when we see a fish on the back of their car, we know we're going to be following a really considerate driver.

The end of 2023.

I think it was ITV. (UK)

That you eventually delete the Windows partition.

Politics (provided you reach high office).

Until I find most of the equivalent Reddit subs on Lemmy, with their emigrated leading lights, you kind of have to. Like you said, only Reddit has the answers. Startpage: "42? site:reddit.com"

I'm too old to enjoy drama.
