Europe only :(

Also this requires exposing all your financial data to Nordigen, which defeats (in my opinion) the largest selling factor of Actual: not giving any 3rd parties access to your financial data.

Subscription fee? Actual is self hosted and “100% free” according to their docs.

They used to have a paid SaaS plan, but they discontinued it a few years ago.

Freeze Peach sounds like Free Speech

Actual Budget looks like a promising self-hosted option. Don’t think there’s any bank linking, though it’s been on the roadmap for a while. I’ve looked around and haven’t found anything else that I’d believe isn’t selling all of your financial data to advertisers.

People have trouble installing Windows? You enter a license key and click next a couple times.

$20 to remove ads. $99 for ultra (includes ad removal and extra features, many of which require servers).

Another helpful community lost to the data blackhole that is Discord :(

Quotes make it only return results that contain exactly what’s in the quotes. All you need to do is put a string in your website that is unique to all indexed pages. Since there’s no length limit (well, google searches have a max length, but it’s pretty long), I expect that the vast majority of web pages will have some phrase you can use like this.

In theory, you could just search for the entire contents of a page in quotes and it’ll be the only thing that pops up unless another page is identical or contains an identical copy of the first page within it.

The best argument I’ve hard in favor of dealers is that they introduce competition in sales of a single brand of vehicle. Instead of Ford having a monopoly on Ford vehicles and selling for MSRP only, you can shop around Ford dealerships that all sell the same product but have to compete with eachother on price or whatever.

That system starts to break down when, like in recent years, dealerships collectively decide to stop selling vehicles for MSRP or below and all tack on thousands of bullshit dealership markup fees. Also dealerships are exclusively run by scum of the Earth which massively taints the entire car shopping experience.

Uncut Gems is anxiety incarnate. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but undeniably a masterpiece.

You can even mix and match! C:\tmp/file.txt is valid. Very helpful for cross-os compatibility.

They mandate the browser you use? Seems a little overbearing.
