  • I use Buckets . It’s a small 1 person freeware, dev asks for a 30 dollar one time donation but it isn’t mandatory. It’s based on the software and idealogy of ynab which enshittified several years ago. The learning resources of ynab should be mostly compatible but I haven’t looked at it in a while.

    It interopts with simplefin, an open source tool that reads your bank transactions and gives read only access to buckets. It costs 10dollars per year to use their servers. It creates some annoying quirks that is mostly the fault of my bank but its passable. The app can also take csv files if you would prefer (which most banks allow you to export).




  • My last apartment (~2020) was at less than 30% occupancy and I was the only person living on my floor. Yay housing crisis.

    My apartment before that was in an older Orthodox Jewish Ukrainian community that was very hostile to outsiders, and particularly my interracial relationship. The head door guard was especially racist. There was one other guy with a dog who was super nice and friendly we’d talk a bunch especially while walking. He was feeling as unwelcome as we were and they drove him out a few months before we got driven out.

    Now, as a homeowner I’ve exchanged misdelivered packages with my neighbours and done trick or treating. I don’t really know their names but i recognize their faces. There was one guy that was a creep to the femmes of our building but he’s moved out thankfully, but it kinda spoilt the first impressions a bit.

    I have this fun strategy, I’ll save my charity money until there is a public call for action, then I dump a larger sum all at once.

    For instance my work during covid set up a (money only) drive for a food bank that corporate would match. My bosses donated 200 a piece, until they noticed that I donated 1000, then they all found it in their hearts to donate 1000 too. Turned that 1000 bucks into about 8000.

    I do have some reoccurring and misc donations.

    People in those countries absolutelly aren’t going bankrupt due to being denied life-saving treatment and having to pay for it from their own pocket.

    The meme has an “or” in it though. About 20% of Canadian bankruptcy is due to health and illness. Here in Canada the maximum disability is ~1500cad a month, which might pay your rent if you live in a really really cheap area. Part of the reason it’s bad like that is because it is so often compared to America, and often greatly exaggerated like in this meme.









  • there’s plenty of “ugly” games here’s some I’ve played recently that came out this year:

    • UFO 50: A collection of new games in the style (mechanically and visually) of the 8bit games. 8 bit graphics
    • Balatro: A GOTY nominee, it’s a roguelike that is extremely loosely based on poker. modern pixel art style static images
    • Children of the sun: a puzzle game where you are a sniper that bends and deflects bullets to kill whole rooms of people with 1 bullet. Graphics are pretty imo but not advanced.
    • Echo Point Nova: a movement focused shooter. games plays on a potato. There is technically a a ray tracing option, but I think it’s more of a future proofing thing/a personal interest of the dev.
