Thing is, 800 calories is a meal for a lot of people. Ever go to Chipotlé? Already over.

Not sure why this is being downvoted, bodybuilders do eat carbs - they just time them appropriately. If you're about to work out, carbohydrates will help you get through it. On the other hand, if you're going to be sedentary for a while, or you're really trying to prioritize fat loss, you probably wouldn't eat as many carbs.

Of course, Keto is a thing, but I haven't heard many stories of bodybuilders that actually target the keto-state. It's about getting the right amount of carbohydrates (hint: not as much as most people eat).

I've gone through a few applications/services like this - YNAB, Mint, and a handful of Mac App Store applications that tried to accomplish more or less the same thing. They all requested some sort of subscription or hit me with ads every chance they got. Auto-import features usually end up being lack-luster for me as well, forcing me to log in every time or something along those lines.

I've come to realize that for the gainfully employed, above-average computer user, Excel/Numbers/LibreOffce (but mostly Excel because of PivotTables) is probably the way to go for a few reasons:

- You're looking for a post-mortem/retrospective on your spending as a way to adjust habits accordingly, not a way to pay off huge debts (YNAB is actually quite good for this latter part, but that's not what I'm looking to do)

- You don't want some program's buggy workflows getting in your way when the data is /right there/ and basically just a table of CSV values

- You want custom reports, charts, and other things

- It's just really not that hard. Any bank will allow you to export financial data in CSV or a similar format.

I just export my data every month and do a post-mortem. Easy enough. No extra cost.

I wake up at 5AM every weekday, but weekends are wide open. Seems to work OK.

Go to Digital Ocean, make a NextCloud droplet, and configure backups to Backblaze. There you go. Bonus point if you buy a small server and become a custodian of your own data.

By anonymized, I would take it that they mean no user or device-specific details are linked to the data when it's persisted. So when it's leaked, it's not as though someone can say "this iPhone was at this place at this time".

I also find it perfectly usable. Does it sometimes suggest a longer route than Google Maps does? Sure. That could be partially attributed to the sheer number of drivers Google Maps has, though.

I think search is almost certainly better on Google Maps, but that's no surprise. I think Apple Maps is the better choice for iOS users, though, if only for the tighter integration with the OS itself and reportedly better battery life.

Why good riddance? If a person who disagreed with my ideologies was looking for a news source, should I point them to an echo chamber that reinforces their beliefs, or a place that I believe to do good journalism (not necessarily The Intercept, per se)?

Differentiating themselves within the market isn't too far from the list of reasons, I'd suspect. Who would be reading about this if it were just another Android mobile phone?

This is targeting a small market of Linux enthusiasts with a different kind of operating system. If this were running Android, why wouldn't those enthusiasts just buy one of the market-leading phones and use a well-supported ROM?

Why would they need a specially designed screen? I would guess that they're looking at what's on offer from various vendors and comparing them to see what works, right?

I actually have a coworker that's very active in the Pokémon community, and there are now countermeasures to make this ineffective. IIRC, there are now variances in the weight of a "code card" inside the pack.

Protonmail does have the ability to send emails in a secure fashion regardless of the receiver’s provider via a link.

Obviously it’s inconvenient and I wouldn’t use it for the lion’s share of my emails, but if I were sending something like a password or a code I certainly would.

Sure, I agree that switching email providers or cloud storage services solely for the sake of privacy isn't going to be something that the average person will do.

I was just objecting to the sentiment that opening a Google account is a requirement for being productive on the internet.

"they offer real value services without which you can't survive a day on the web"

This is just not true.

There are viable competitors in about every space that Google is in. Use local documents and sync via a different storage provider. Alternate email providers exist. The only place where they have a distinct advantage is search, and even then, DuckDuckGo is usually enough (and if it's not, just pass a !g flag).

YouTube is also a thing, but I've never felt that having an account really gave me anything over just bookmarking channels.

Especially so since many people on existing dating applications probably filter by similar criteria anyway.

I was born on a farm in rural Ohio, so I can appreciate the difference. I'm thinking more of Wyoming.

Drive through the flyover states and you can see it all for yourself. If you're not on the interstate, you can drive at 80mph without seeing another car for some time.

It's actually really beautiful how untouched some parts of the US are. Hopefully they can stay that way for some time.

You could do something like this with Jekyll, which is supported on GitHub pages. You'd need to put some work into it to get the same features Gatesnotes has, but the framework is there.

Nothing in particular, I just already have a server set up with a good amount of storage because I didn't want to pay year-to-year for something like dropbox to save photos and videos to.

I'd also be interested in getting the documents to appear in my Nextcloud and vice-versa.

At the end of the day, it's mostly about having everything in a central location with a good set of backups in place.

Any plans to make self-hosting straight-forward? Granted, I haven't spent much time looking for it, but I've been looking for something similar to this for quite some time, and Nextcloud's Collabora isn't quite what I'm looking for.

Discord has presence indicators and is fairly widespread.
