Yeah… this sounds like a conspiracy theory tbh.

Mbin is very much alive an in development. Not as active as Lemmy though

I don’t think one takes into account investment accounts with envelope budgeting, if I’m not wrong. All the accounts in this kind of budgeting should be involved in the budget, to be money that is to be assigned. “Give every dollar a job” kind of style. Money in investment accounts is for the most part saving for savings sake. But I guess people can assign that kind of money as well, e.g. “this is money that I’m investing to be able to buy a house in 5 years”. I’m not an expert on this so you could look up how YNAB does it, or if Actual has any docs on this.

Yes. You can read about on Actual Budgets documentation. It’s free for personal use. You just generate an API token. https://actualbudget.org/docs/advanced/bank-sync/gocardless/

If you’re in the EU you can do bank syncing for free with GoCardless integration. If you’re in the US you need to go with SimpleFIN which costs a small sum and is in a more experimental phase than the GoCardless integration I think. Either way, GoCardless has been working great for me. Actually far better than YNAB which didn’t even support my bank. It’s literally just set up and forget.

If one doesn’t want to self-host it one can always go through a service like PikaPods who do in fact have a revenue sharing deal with Actual Budget. And either way, Actual Budget isn’t really an accounting tool for businesses, or did I misunderstand you?

A reminder that Opera is owned by a Chinese public company. I wouldn’t trust the browser for privacy reasons.

Great to hear that Mbin is getting some attention!

Loop is great! I love F-Droid. Many times it’s guaranteed you’ll find a better alternative to a proprietary, ad-filled app on Play Store, on the F-Droid app

I’d willingly want to move down to 4-day weeks in some year even with the reduced salary. I’m privileged enough to afford it, and the time regained is absolutely worth the loss in salary and future pension. I’d like alternating Mondays and Fridays, so every 2 weeks you get a 4-day weekend.

I’m just waiting for some FOSS purist to find fault in this.

I don’t know if this is a US thing. I have no large expectations of HR, but I’m also part of a union and like most places my company has signed a collective union agreement. If there’s a conflict the union will represent you as well. The HR people at my company seem completely OK though, I have dealings with them due to my role.

It’s generally really hard if you have no experience. But if you’re willing to pay, maybe. Check this out: https://hitchwiki.org/en/Hitchhiking_a_boat

Luckily the only “AI” we have are LLMs which seem to have hit their peak, and probably will start corrupting itself with its own training data now that they’ve scoured the web clean.

This reaffirms my wish to go back to monkey.

“Natural” diamonds are a manufactured luxury. Lab-made are just as well, if not better, but big diamond is really pushing the “rocks we find in the ground are better”. Even though the diamond industry has their hands covered in blood.

Didn’t know about this site, thanks

Thanks for this awesome app, and probably being the only mbin-app out there (if I’m not mistaken?).
