Spreadsheets can do that and you can set them up to automate a lot of the work. You need to be very good with your software though - it’s too complex for the majority of users.

You also risk that someone is either discouraged / overwhelmed and gives up, or spends all their time learning to automate data manipulation instead of budgeting, or that they make an error and don’t realise.

Automating that data manipulation is very valuable and the main benefit I find to budgeting software.

That said, I’ve set up my budgeting in excel because I do know what I’m doing and I haven’t found software that is flexible enough for my needs yet 🤣

There has to be a massive overlap in the Meta communities but even so, they’ve probably got half the world’s population feeding them data. That’s pretty terrifying.

I didn’t know that about Swan boats.

I’m doing my part adding reviews to Mapy but it’s pretty empty in my part of the world.

Also, I have mixed feelings about putting reviews in another closed system. Ideally there would be a FOSS review system based on open street maps that all map apps connected and contributed to. I’m not a developer or a multi-millionaire invester though, so ¯\(ツ)/¯

I think that many people (not only men) believed that having women’s rights legally enshrined would be all that was required. You have the same rights now, so surely any failures must be because you’re doing something wrong (like the whole bs lean-in idea).

The reality has proven to be far more difficult. True equality requires a fundamental shift in how society thinks about women, which requires effort from each individual.

Discovering and changing your internalised biases is hard work, the kind people often need therapy for. Having to do that when it means recognising and acknowledging your personal privilege is even harder. Add in pressure to fit in with your peers and it can quickly become something you’d rather just avoid. That’s a very normal human reaction. In order to overcome this, women have had to basically scream each message from the rooftops until it finally sank in, and the internal changes started.

However, screaming things from rooftops means some people will feel bombarded, while others are likely exhausted, feeling like “I changed thinking x and y, what more do you want from me? I’m doing my best, why isn’t it enough?”, and, again, respond by avoiding the topic.

Tldr, it’s hard work for no immediate benefit to the person doing the work, possibly even negative consequences socially. Who wouldn’t want to avoid that? Also some people are exhausted from the work they’ve already done.

Eh, it impacts my physical body, those hormones exist. How about extrinsic awards, as opposed to intrinsic awards?

Define “physical reward”?

I would argue that the good feeling from a well done job counts as a physical reward 🙂 and is a necessary motivational feedback. If you mean monetary or resource awards, I agree.

In that case, everyone dies alone.

The maintainer of the Roborock Home Assistant integration has managed to disconnect roborock vacuum robots from the cloud with a local server. I’ve been eyeing it but haven’t gotten to trying it yet, so please let me know if you do.

You can find it here:
