ITT: people who think “censorship” only pertains to “state-sponsored censorship”

Moderation tools are a form of censorship on lemmy.

How are you going to fix anything if you just keep running from problems?

It’s cliche, but be the change you want to see in the world. Lots of people are set in their ways, but seeing someone behave with patience, consistency, and integrity actually moves the needle. Interrupting a church service is a surefire way to make people reject your ideals outright, regardless of the message. Leading by example, on the other hand, makes your values visible without forcing them—and that kind of positive influence tends to reinforce itself over time.

You mention you yourself may be stubborn, you probably wouldn’t want some ideal forced down your throat, I imagine most people feel the same way.

I like your examples of home gardening and free educational support, those are real actions that make a difference.

😂

It’s the X.

Lmao, rent free

Unfortunately no, that’s one thing the dev is very much against. In order to project anything, a transaction has to be made. So if you wanted to show what your balance in July would be after setting back $100 each month, you would need a $100 transaction in each month leading up to your target, then switch your view to July and see the balance.

Ask lemmy?

You’re only laughing because you’d cry otherwise

If something recochets of the wall, it means it was already cocheting

yeah if you want that same functionality of months in advance transactions - you’ll have to create a similar solution with the cron job i mentioned.

Budgets work well enough. They allow you to create any number of budget “buckets” - and each can be configured in various ways:

• fixed amount each period
• add amount to bucket each period
• add amount to bucket each period and correct for overspending

You can even have different periods - daily, weekly, monthly, yearly - though I’ve only ever used monthly.

When you create transactions you assign them to a budget and it shows you how much you have left in that budget

I’ve been hosting my own firefly iii instance for a couple years now. It has its quirks but overall it’s a great home finance option. Better than some others I’ve tried.

As an example, the creator is adamantly against future transactions and projecting future transactions. There’s the ability to create “recurring” transactions and the app has a daily cron that will create the recurring transactions on the day they’re supposed to hit. I for one want to see these future transactions and want those to show up about a month early. To do this I have to spoof a cron job to make the app think it’s creating recurring transactions for 30 days from today. This works well enough to show my balances for the future.

I like it has a pretty nice API that you can hook I to from your own apps.

I wrote an importer app that uses Plaid to connect to my bank accounts and credit cards and it gives me the option to categorize transactions and import them into firefly. It’s made managing my finances incredibly simple. I used to spend hours on the weekend manually importing transactions from the previous week. Now I have something that I can tab through in a matter of minutes and see everything.

Stove top popcorn is too stupidly easy to buy a one off gadget. I make popcorn on the stove at least 3 times a week just using vegetable oil and flavacol. My wife and I are now spoiled on this popcorn.

Thanks OP, this sparked something in me.

I also have trouble falling asleep sometimes. Multiple times a week even. I usually read my fiction book before bed but sometimes that can get really exciting and keep me up even longer.

I found a bunch of “instructional” and “reference” material on project Gutenberg. I’ve been using these types of books lately when I can’t sleep and it’s been working great.

It’s only for the “Full Self driving” feature. It would likely just disable the feature.

You short Tesla stock? Have you ever timed it and made a profit on it? I know there’s been pockets that it could have been profitable to you. But seems to me that you’d just be feeding money to actual shareholders.

What do you mean? I already don’t care about the state of the world.

I’ve always got self preserved vegetables and fruits. I would likely make a quick roux and then turn it into vegetable soup. Throw some kind of pasta in there.
