Every bank I've ever used has had functionality to do csv exports (or xlsx, for which I have a one-liner to convert to csv), which can trivially be imported into gnucash.

At least in the UK/EU, it seems to be a common feature.

I _kind of_ built something like that a few years ago - https://github.com/tom-james-watson/wtp-ext

The bad news is it required firefox nightly and honestly I'd be surprised if it even still works because Mozilla laid off the people who were working on libdweb.

You also need to understand the context that in the UK, and most of the west other than the US, WhatsApp is just the default communication channel for messaging. If you text someone, it's just assumed it's via WhatsApp.

Going off the renders it looks like they want to build your average smamll Spanish city. Which honestly is pretty understandable.

Fish has so many more features out of the box than bash. Once you use fish for a while it's really quite painful to go back to basic bash.

> Is it because the German industry and population is much bigger?

No, this is CO2 per kwh, so is proportional to population.

What you have just discovered is that Germany does a lot of greenwashing. They may have spent trillions on renewables but, well look at the graphs, they still burn insane amounts of coal.

They chose the politically popular choice of closing nuclear and in doing do sabotaged their climate agenda. Turns out building a grid of only variable renewables doesn't work yet.

Thunder [1] is also worth checking out. IMO its UI is even slicker than Sync's, plus it's open source and not ad-supported/freemium. If you ever used Relay for Reddit, you'll feel right at home.

I hate to be crass, but if the last few years have taught us anything, it's that you don't have to look too far to find crazy people in important jobs in US government.

There are 1.3 million active military personnel in the United States.

As the adage goes - extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - and we still haven't seen any.

Until there is some actual data to back any of this up, there's not really anything to talk about.

One thing I'd like to see is a better way to estimate the cost of kids, and specifically per-child. If I could just click a button and have the average cost for a child for my country added from a certain year, that would be awesome.

I just had a play around with this for the first time in a long while (I tried it when it was projectfi), and it's in a really great place - well done!

Love that you support countries other than the US - that's very much appreciated.

What I find when setting up long-term plans like this is that you realize just how much key life decisions affect the outcomes, along with how much uncertainty I have over those life decisions! Being able to explore those permutations is definitely very insightful.

Many are now committing to either going dark indefinitely, or to reassess after the 14th, maybe with a poll to their members on how to proceed. This will definitely be going on for more than 2 days.

I have worked with frfl for the past couple of years and vouch for him as a highly competent engineer who would be a great addition to any team!

Fine for some, but for others there are still show-stoppers. I have a laptop with an Nvidia card and my latest attempt to use Wayland, on Fedora 38, didn't last very long at all before being forced to retreat to xorg by the issues.

Great idea and well executed - well done!

I actually created a site - https://detoxed.news - with a very similar philosophy a while back, though with a much simpler implementation. It periodically scrapes Wikipedia's Current Events Portal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events) and presents that information in a nicer format.

I think there's definitely a sweet spot where you keep well-informed about current events and happenings in the world, without wasting your time on the 24 hours new cycle.

Looks like an incredibly polished implementation of something that's pretty niche. Kudos to the developers.

Agreed - the lack of CO2 monitoring is a shame.

I bought a relatively inexpensive CO2 monitor (~90 EUR) and it was really an eye opener. If you work in a small home office, the speed that you reach levels of CO2 that will have a noticeable impact on your mental faculties (eg 2000ppm) is incredible. Definitely makes you step up your ventilation game!

The alternative that I use is to use GnuCash and periodically download CSVs from my bank of my transactions. That way I don't have to manually enter transactions and don't have to give my bank login to some random third party.

All that's needed is about 15-30 minutes every couple of months to bring in the latest transactions and double check the categorizations. GnuCash uses double entry bookkeeping, so you always know if your data is accurate or not by being able to reconcile the accounts.

So much negativity in this thread, jeez.

I love current Thunderbird but it undeniably has its issues. Firstly, of course this is subjective, but its UI is starting to look dated. Lots of you are complaining about modern UIs, but I think the designs [0][1] look great and are much more readable than the current design, which looks straight out of Ubuntu 8.04.

Then there are some major UX issues, the most obvious one being the lack of conversation view, which is how pretty much everybody expects an email client to work in 2023. Supernova implementing that is reason enough to be excited about the release.

I can't wait to try it out - keep up the awesome work, team!

This is really great! I have plenty of uses for this.

Here's a quick fish function for being able to call this from a shell like `alt my message`

  function alt
    curl -d "\"$argv\"" ntfy.sh/<my topic>
  end

It's the "status" tab.

Personally I'd rather avoid the feature bloat. I also think it just waters-down the "secure" image they are clearly going for. I mean, broadcasting images to your contact list isn't exactly what I think of when I think "private messaging".

If you think people use Whatsapp just because of international SMS pricing then you don't really understand Whatsapp.

It's not just Denmark, either. Here in Spain the second booster jab is planned to only be given to the over 60s.

The difference is that in the UK nearly everything you interact with in your daily life is in metric. You won't find anything in a UK household in imperial measurements other than the bottle of milk in the fridge.

> Increased energy usage is not necessarily necessary for increased economic growth

I disagree with this - economic growth has almost always perfectly aligned with increased energy use, however this is not a bad thing.

The history of the human race has been about moving from less dense sources of energy to higher dense ones. From wood, to charcoal, to coal, to oil, to gas, to nuclear fission, to nuclear fusion. Abundance of energy is an absolute must for economic growth.

The good news is that what we have started to decouple our impact on the environment and economic growth.

I would also go as far as saying that economic growth is a necessity for us to combat climate change. The development of advanced technology like fusion, better desalination, higher density and more efficient farming, will all help reduce our impact on the planet.

Maybe _this_ is the organization that should have been called OpenAI?
