Panik When did Spirit Halloween go bankrupt?!? Sees airplane tail with Spirit Airlines logo Kalm

This is one of my favorite YouTube videos of all time! I never expected to see a still frame from it in this community of all places. LOL

I know there’s a pretty flexible self hosted finance manager called Firefly. Not sure if there’s any functionality built in related to donations specifically though.

Figured I’d at least mention it since I only see one other comment so far, just in case it’s helpful.

It almost certainly won’t work but I’d be curious if any test credit card numbers work for that purpose. They still pass the Luhn algorithm, but I’m guessing Google is still gonna reach out to some service to verify the CC details.

Apologies, this is a rant. Please ignore if you are an em dash fan and know that I am not ranting at you, but at its creator.

As someone who has had to deal with comparing text output via automated tests, this thread hurts. I hate Em Dashes and whoever invented them with a burning passion. They make text comparison a nightmare.

“Let’s invent a character that looks exactly like a slightly longer hyphen, but isn’t!” Brilliant. Well done.

Why not just make the hyphen longer instead so people can just type it, like they do with every other character? Nope, instead, let’s invent a different character that can only be typed if you know the Unicode ID.

Even worse is the fact that there are also En Dashes. Because we definitely needed both and couldn’t just type multiple consecutive hyphens to make the line longer…

The worst part is that if you are writing physically, and you’re not a robot, there is no way to distinguish between these at all; they are all just hyphens.

KDE for sure. The modern versions look exactly like how I want a desktop environment to look out of the box, and they keep the full range of customizability that a desktop should, IMO, allow it’s users to have. Which is something Windows just kept slowly getting rid of over the years.

I also prefer to have a taskbar that is ever present with a traditional start menu that’s cleanly organized by category rather than the current full screen pop up “activities” search thing gnome does nowadays.

Dice.

I love Player.fm

They have both an android app with a lot of good features (stream or download, can set how many episodes to download at a time, when to delete old ones, all per podcast and as global defaults, set up your own categories/lists, display order, play order, etc) and an actual web site where you can log in and listen to your stuff as well with synced history, so you can pick up pretty much at the exact spot you paused a podcast on your phone (or vice versa).
