Any thoughts on #CreditKarma or alternatives out there?

I used to like using it, but now that it's owned by Intuit (a company I despise), I'd rather look for alternatives, or just do without. XD

@iode Don't get me wrong, I like what you do, but personally, I do not want anything based on Android, that is ultimately controlled and developed by google.

When they will irremediably move on and close Android code base for "enhancing your experience/security/penis/whatever buzzword shit marketers will find", you'll be stuck in time with latest OSS release and everything will slowly die out, because I don't think any of you (being Iodé or any other ungoogled android distros) would be able to maintain the entire OS.

Instead, I want Linux phones.

By the way: a few days ago I finally finished my custom traveller's notebook cover / wallet!

All in all I'm very happy with how it turned out. There are a few things I might adjust or do differently for a V2. For example, the money compartment could be a little wider and attaching bias tape straight is harder than I thought.

I'll have to tinker with the closing mechanism: in theory, there are magnets and ferrofoil in there, but although I tested it and thought it should work, in practice the adhesion through the two layers of leather is so weak that you barely notice it :( Maybe I'll try bigger magnets or a magnetic button.

But still, most things work just as planned in real usage and the aesthetics work as I hoped! I enjoyed working with this cork leather a lot (sadly the shop I got it from closed down, so I'll have to look somewhere else for fuzure projects).

The hardest thing for me about this project was serial decision paralysis. Since I planned this all by myself from scratch, every single measurement and design was a decision I had to figure out. Which was especially hard to do starting from a blank page. For my next project I'll probably do something guided with a pattern to recuperate :D

If and when I'll find the time, I'll sort out and upload my plans, in case anyone wants to make something similar themselves :D

Get a pen stand. On the photo is the one I have, bought on Etsy, shop called NobleForge. You might have a few pens that prefer being stored on your desk horizontally. The photo is from the store. Here is the link:

Akkerman the Hague with their iconic bottles is coming out with a smaller bottle (40ml) than their standard (60ml). I feel a cycling trip to The Hague coming up 🙈😂 #ItIsNotThatFarForMe #LessThanTenKm #FountainPen

@itsfoss MidnightBSD was one of the first to introduce age delcaration code. And Ageless is just Debian with the name changed. Might be a bit out of line to say they are doing anything against age verification.

Meanwhile System76 has actively pushed back against age verification laws and may have an exemption lined up in Colorado and is nowhere in this image.

So, for anyone who cares, here's a long-form response, personally and from my POV as head of #Teckids, regarding the discussion around birth date in #systemd:
