That doesn’t come without a larger role for the EU and good f***** luck trying to get the MEGAs to agree to that.

I’m from Scandinavia and I hope to f*** we are actively working on a pan-Scandinavian defense treaty (it could exist within the NATO framework until NATO collapses) and a pan-Scandinavia united defence forces. I want Swedes, Norwegians and Danes in the same damned battalions. I cannot see anything getting agreed in the EU, however much I would prefer that (Europe together strong and all that), with Hungary, Austria and all the other countries descending into neo-nationalism.

The only thing we can hope for is that Musk is dumb enough to volunteer to be “apprehended” by ED209. He strikes me as having that much techno-optimism (also see: Steel ball against Cybertruck window).

Yeah, don’t for a second think this wasn’t part of the deal he made with Musk.

I don’t quite understand how this is an issue.

I mean personally I’m happy with anonymised ads from DDG in return for anonymised Bing searches (+their own guffins) but I think it’s fair enough, if you really want to see no ads, that some turn to Kagi.

Checking in from Voyager. The waters great over here - come join us!

Looks great. Will definitely try out.

Day to day I just use LunaSea. Added convenience of being able to add a film from a phone.

Speaking as a Dane, where Halloween has invaded in the last 20 years, basically to replace Fastelavn, the traditional spring-based festival of trick or treating, just another excuse for selling stuff.

You’ll be able to fit a finger under it I bet.

Yes 100% that. I’ve never met a dentist who didn’t immediately tell me to rinse before brushing on hearing I used mouthwash; they all categorically said not to do it after brushing.

Your own happiness is more important that somebody else’s happiness.

Not to say you shouldn’t be nice or help people, or invest in other people’s growth.

But don’t do it to the detriment of your own.

Man good dental hygiene is one of those things you just do not think about until you’re older. Flossing, interdental, mouth wash (before brushing), regularly visiting the hygienist and dentist. Your teeth evolved to last 35-ish years, the rest only happens from hygiene.

Cry.

Would HAVE. Could HAVE.

The original author tried to turn it into a business. Turns out that was next to impossible up against YNAB. Gave it to the community who’s keeping it current.

I’ve literally just switched to Actual (3 days in) after living out of a homemade Excel YNAB clone for years and years. Overall it’s great and the bank syncing really works (except with a weird issue around starting date and starting balance).

I love that it’s open source, E2E encrypted, self-hostable and the data lives in a SQLite database.

If I haven’t found any major snags, I’ll of course become a supporter in a couple of weeks.

Yes, it works a treat in the EU (due to PSD2, which mandates open banking) and U.K. (which is copy/pasting PSD2 to ensure their banks aren’t left behind).

I’m syncing with Handelsbanken UK, American Express, Lloyds, Monzo and Starling, all in the UK. Works a treat except most of the banks actually rate limit you to a couple of syncs per day.

Depends on where you live. Many places you can’t trust the government and they know almost nothing about you.

In Scandinavia every citizen has a registration number and the government has deployed state-enforced online digital identity system.

It’s not a privacy nightmare if you can trust the government. And in Scandinavia you generally can.

I admire your commitment to this. I’m onboard. Fuck em, take smaller bites.

There are people who have a genuine problem breathing fully through their nose though.

The board doesn’t care about the number of people employed. They care about the current profitability and future profitability.

Of course that’s their job; to look after shareholder interests. And the money would move to a better investment if they didn’t.

It’s the whole system you need to change, if you seek change, not moan about an individual CEO.
