2·29 days agoNobody was given a picture for their puzzle either. So don’t feel like you’re alone in that. Just take it one step at a time and remember that you don’t have to solve or plan for everything at once.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How to motivate people to be part of the change?English
13·1 month agoIt’s cliche, but be the change you want to see in the world. Lots of people are set in their ways, but seeing someone behave with patience, consistency, and integrity actually moves the needle. Interrupting a church service is a surefire way to make people reject your ideals outright, regardless of the message. Leading by example, on the other hand, makes your values visible without forcing them—and that kind of positive influence tends to reinforce itself over time.
You mention you yourself may be stubborn, you probably wouldn’t want some ideal forced down your throat, I imagine most people feel the same way.
I like your examples of home gardening and free educational support, those are real actions that make a difference.

21·1 month agoUnfortunately no, that’s one thing the dev is very much against. In order to project anything, a transaction has to be made. So if you wanted to show what your balance in July would be after setting back $100 each month, you would need a $100 transaction in each month leading up to your target, then switch your view to July and see the balance.

21·1 month agoyeah if you want that same functionality of months in advance transactions - you’ll have to create a similar solution with the cron job i mentioned.
Budgets work well enough. They allow you to create any number of budget “buckets” - and each can be configured in various ways:
- fixed amount each period
- add amount to bucket each period
- add amount to bucket each period and correct for overspending
You can even have different periods - daily, weekly, monthly, yearly - though I’ve only ever used monthly.
When you create transactions you assign them to a budget and it shows you how much you have left in that budget

52·1 month agoI’ve been hosting my own firefly iii instance for a couple years now. It has its quirks but overall it’s a great home finance option. Better than some others I’ve tried.
As an example, the creator is adamantly against future transactions and projecting future transactions. There’s the ability to create “recurring” transactions and the app has a daily cron that will create the recurring transactions on the day they’re supposed to hit. I for one want to see these future transactions and want those to show up about a month early. To do this I have to spoof a cron job to make the app think it’s creating recurring transactions for 30 days from today. This works well enough to show my balances for the future.
I like it has a pretty nice API that you can hook I to from your own apps.
I wrote an importer app that uses Plaid to connect to my bank accounts and credit cards and it gives me the option to categorize transactions and import them into firefly. It’s made managing my finances incredibly simple. I used to spend hours on the weekend manually importing transactions from the previous week. Now I have something that I can tab through in a matter of minutes and see everything.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your favorite healthy snacks?English
41·1 month agoStove top popcorn is too stupidly easy to buy a one off gadget. I make popcorn on the stove at least 3 times a week just using vegetable oil and flavacol. My wife and I are now spoiled on this popcorn.
The line going up just means GDP per capita increased, not that the system was healthy. USA’s GDP continues to go up, would you consider our current economy healthy? Post 60s, Soviet growth slowed and was mostly driven by oil, not productivity. That hides a lot of inefficiency and fragility that GDP doesn’t show. When oil prices dropped and reforms started, the economy collapsed because it had very little resilience left, not because capitalism suddenly “killed” a thriving system.
To be clear - I’m not saying that shock therapy didn’t cause harm, I’m just saying that the USSR was clearly not booming by the time it was applied.
Blaming capitalism alone ignores that many socialist economies were already in long-term stagnation before the 1990s. Shock therapy often caused real harm, but it didn’t destroy thriving economies — it was applied to systems that were already failing.
The legality is in their head.
President has a D in his party, so it’s socially legal I guess
I’ve been using OLauncher. I like the simplicity it brings to my phone experience.
