Maybe you will, and I sincerely hope that is the case for you. However, there are many, many studies demonstrating that this is not the case for most humans.

1. It’s all about power and control; money is merely the scorekeeping system

2. When people start accruing some power, in money form or otherwise, brain structure changes

3. Exceptions to this are the rarity

4. This is why humanity is stuck in the boom-bust doom loop for the history of civilization: a few people think they figured out the recipe to get all the power. They do the same shit that has been tried in the past, but somehow THIS time is going to be different for them. But it’s not, and they end up in guillotines, whether literal or metaphorical. And the cycle starts all over again.

There are few exceptions to this doom loop, and the Salish Tribes leap to mind. They lived in balance with their lands and each other for at least 13500 years. Too bad they also got fuct by colonizers.

Yes please to the interviews! And as always, thank you so much for these! I always get a happy bounce when I see your banner appear in my feed.

Per your first comment, I played around with the Vowel Filter in Grid. That certainly does seem to be a factor! Thank you!

Thanks. I was aiming for the learning process. I want to be able to hear or imagine a sound and then start linking up the oscillators and filters to get that specific sound. My end goal is to be all like… oh, take a square wave modulated by a sawtooth with a 4-pole notch here tumble-dried with an LFO insert, then hit the unison with muffler bearings and blinker fluid. Bam, There’s the sound I wanted. But with less nonsense.

Have you read “Red Team Blues” by Cory Doctorow? And if so, how did you feel it captured Red Team work?

OpenDroneMap. It’s a suite that provides photogrammetry, stitching, volumetric analysis, geographic correlation, and 3D model conversion from aerial and non-aerial photos. And that’s only the features that I use myself. It defaults to CPU-only rendering, so you don’t need a big bad GPU to GSD.

Even ignoring the lack of subscription cost, ODM performs at least as well as other applications I tried such as Pix4D. Professionally, I use it for year-over-year kelp bed monitoring, photosynthetic mass analysis, and home construction analysis, specifically volumetric infill needs. Personally, I use it to generate 3D models of my boat interior, which I convert to STL files for arranging infrastructure in limited spaces.

As always, amazing content. Thank you for your reporting!

Hello (former) fellow Lehi worker! Although I was remote except for the onsite weeks. I’m not a fan of 99% mobile apps, maybe more than 99%. I didn’t work on mobile, but I am quite sure that it is in fact a PWA.

Different financial institutions (FI) will all have different appearances, because of the nature of how MX is implemented, and whether on desktop or mobile. In the case of my credit union, it’s right here:

The interface of MX Platform on desktop looks like this:

You might see something like this in your online banking home page:

There are two ways that MX can get data from other accounts which you have to explicitly link in your bank/CU interface. The first method is through Open Banking protocols, which are mercifully obfuscated from the end user. Seriously, if you’re having trouble sleeping, try reading some of the Open Banking specifications. :D One selects their FI from the list, and enters creds and 2FA challenge. The other method is screen-scraping, but again this is abstracted away from the end user.

One of the features where MX slaps more than anyone else (for now) is identifying the source of debits and classifying them. Underneath the hood, debit and credit card transaction strings are chaos. But even if MX gets it wrong, you can manually re-classify your expenses, and it will apply that to future transactions (optional). I already mentioned the burndowns, but if you have an idea for a saving schedule, MX will provide reminders and factor in your growth. Platform will also provide reminders for almost everything.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Sure thing. On which part would you like more detail?

Negative all around. I was replying to OP. The company to which I referred is MX. The public-facing product (API) is actually called Platform, but it’s very explicitly white label software. Customers will generally have little to no idea that they are using MX Platform. It might actually say MX somewhere, but that can be eliminated in implementation.

As others have said, a spreadsheet is the simplest. If you do your banking with a credit union, chances are they make MX available to you in your online banking. A lot of banks use MX too. Their software provides the projections and forecasting you seek, as well as Open Banking connections to all of your other accounts. If you have loans, it also has burndowns of outstanding debts. Extra bonus: MX doesn’t sell your data.

Disclosure: I used to work for MX.

If you look at from a different perspective, it all makes more sense. Right now, you’re trying to apply the incorrect logic and an ethical consistency to anti-trans efforts. The anti-trans efforts are a test to move the Overton Window rightward. Trans and NB people are such a tiny minority. By targeting and othering that demographic, Conservatives are testing how much the rest of the citizenry will tolerate the next steps in fascism: targeting other minorities, miscegenation, segregation, concentration camps… whatever it takes to make a white xian US.

This right here. I fell down the “wild boar problem” rabbit hole a couple years ago. I was curious about what controls have been tried and what could be done to bring things back into balance. The statistic I read said that 75000 boars must be killed per year in Texas just to keep their numbers stable there. Holy hell. That’s a lot of dangerous game hunting.

That’s a long time to be eating one thing.

“Hypocrisy dwells in the soul,” or to use another quote:

Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.) —Walt Whitman

When last I followed the topic, there is a body of science supporting this. The summary of it is: people like to think of the human brain as being integrated, when it’s more of a duct-tape-and-bailing-wire artifact of evolution. Shit got bolted into place over millions of years of evolution. So while things are connected, the parts don’t all necessarily work in unison, especially in morally complex situations or when we feel threatened. It all exists to get us laid and propagate our genetic code. All other consideration are secondary from the perspective of DNA.

And folks, this is why it’s critical that we work on ourselves, study philosophy even if only cursorily, and understand interpersonal dynamics, Instead of tearing each other down, we could be investing energy into lifting up each other.

Edit: formatting. As an aside, how do I get single line breaks in Jerboa/Lemmy? Single CRLFs are ignored.

Ah, cool, thank you! I didn’t realize the Expedition Terminal worked in both directions. I just completed phase 2 in the current expedition and wondering how the items get back to my main save.

I’m still learning the finer points of NMS, so please forgive me if my question is obvious. How does one transfer items to the main save?

When was the last time you even tried to live without buying anything built by exploited labor, abusive extraction processes, and run by oligarchs? You can’t. It would maybe look like a hunter-gatherer or maybe a primitive pastoral life. It is literally impossible for any of us to be having this discussion in this medium without some of exploitation and/or abuse. There is no moral consumption under capitalism, hell probably even impossible under any globalism.

So fuck right the fuck off with your sanctimonious bullshit.
