Anybody got any suggestions for open standards for storing monthly budgets/transaction information (think YNAB)? I took a look around schema.org but nothing seemed quite like what I'm after.

@skunksarebetter thanks for the list! I'll have to check them to see if they use any sort of standard format for storing or at least exporting data

I just cancelled my subscription to Spotify. I'm not going to support a company that wants to close down the podcasting ecosystem with exclusive shows and limit me to only using their app. #keepPodcastingOpen

@jordan31 I don't know of there's any sort of announcement from Spotify that they're locking down podcasting (most people don't want to proclaim their wrongdoings) but you can find examples all over the place: https://www.theverge.com/21265005/spotify-joe-rogan-experience-podcast-deal-apple-gimlet-media-ringerTake a look at some of Spotify s acquisitions over the past couple of years too: - The Ringer- Gimlet- AnchorThey're buying up podcast creation tools and publishing networks. They want to own the full stack from creation to publication to consumption.

@kev I actually switched from Linux to Windows too, and for very similar reasons. At the end of the day I also found that almost all of the programs I use on a daily basis are things like chrome and Android studio, so there was nothing really special that the Linux desktop offered me. I also play games on steam which of course is a million times easier on windows.

@kev On the topic of privacy, your cellphone probably leaks far more damning information than the desktop ever could dream of doing anyways, so I personally feel that it's a pointless endeavor to pursue.

@kev Yeah, doesn't really matter if it's android, ios, or a dumb phone, the cellular networks (at least in the US) compile your location data by triangulation between multiple towers and often share that with the government or sell it to data brokers. Where you are, who you're with, for how long, etc is probably more invasive than just what apps you open on your computer. Then there's the topic of Bluetooth beacons and this doesn't even consider all of the apps people install

I just signed up for an account over at @Tutanota. I like the end to end encryption and the pricing is excellent for individuals! I love when services still take individuals into account instead of just pursing businesses and enterprises (though Tutanota seems to cater to them as well!)#privacy
