  • Dell XPS and Lenovo X1 Carbon are the best laptops for running Linux. I currently have an AMD Framework and, while it's nice that it's repairable, Linux support is crap compared to the XPS and X1. I was actually looking into selling this junk Framework laptop and buying an X1 Carbon.

  • More than you think, actually. My wife recently signed up. I'm like, Babe! I already have uBlock Origin to block ads on desktop! On mobile, Firefox also blocks ads and allows listening to videos with the screen off. 😫

    But, we still get ads on our smart LG TV. So. That's apparently enough to throw the money away.

  • Check the documentation can be pretty useless a lot of times. The docs aren't always great or they're huge and I have a specific question. Often times I do check them, but they're incomplete or unclear. Or the docs change or the links die.

    Just answer the question anyway and then say where you found it.

  • Not sure if everyone knows this, but: if you don't want to answer the question—you don't have to post a reply! Crazy idea, I know.

  • looks at companies forcing RTO 👀

  • Uh, yeah, exactly. I'm like wat. Chapulines are delicious. At worst they kinda taste like walnuts to me. If people ate them blindfolded in a taco with other ingredients, I don't imagine too strong of a reaction.

  • That link kinda showcases exactly my point... It's pretty useless to me. I know how to install the app. I don't know what the daily workflow looks like.

    Compare that to the tutorials YNAB has on YouTube. Those talk more about how to use the app to budget.

    Anyway, it's fine. I understand I'm not the target audience for Actual. It seems like it's for people who already have prior experience with finance apps.

  • Why are you trying to do that? You should do this instead!

  • Oh, fuck. Run kid!

  • Do you just use a limit set of YNAB features? It seems like Actual only has a tiny fraction of the features YNAB has. For example, it's currently missing category targets.

  • As a note for people new to budgeting apps, YNAB has a toooonnn of tutorials and videos about how to create a budget and what the end-to-end workflow looks like in their apps.

  • Is there some tutorial you'd recommend to get started? I didn't find the docs or demo helpful and a lot of videos seem to be focused on background or setup. I can install the app fine, but like how does one actually use this?

    I've never used budgeting apps. I'd like to learn more about them and why they're useful. My current budgeting is: positive balance=good; negative balance=bad

  • I absolutely hate AI. I'm a teacher and it's been awful to see how AI has destroyed student learning. 99% of the class uses ChatGPT to cheat on homework. Some kids are subtle about it, others are extremely blatant about it. Most people don't bother to think critically about the answers the AI gives and just assume it's 100% correct. Even if sometimes the answer is technically correct, there is often a much simpler answer or explanation, so then I have to spend extra time un-teaching the dumb AI way.

    People seem to think there's an "easy" way to learn with AI, that you don't have to put in the time and practice to learn stuff. News flash! You can't outsource creating neural pathways in your brain to some service. It's like expecting to get buff by asking your friend to lift weights for you. Not gonna happen.

    Unsurprisingly, the kids who use ChatGPT the most are the ones failing my class, since I don't allow any electronic devices during exams.

  • Oh gawd, don't remind me. My mom already tried selling it and couldn't find anyone to buy it. Of course, she blames kids these days for not valuing her obviously valuable collection...

  • 100% required plugin for the modern web. :(

  • Yes, or nearby. They're the ones working the farms.
