I'm currently using SuperNormal to taking meeting minutes for all of my Teams, Google Meet, and Zoom conference calls. Is there a workflow for doing this locally with Whisper and some other tools? I haven't found one yet.

I do B2B hardware and software projects. I hate sales and advertising but I will post something I'm working on about once a week on my personal LinkedIn. It's amazing how many customers reference that stuff when I have my first meeting.

I really wish it was MediaWyrm. I want something where I can share, rate, and track books, movies, tv shows, podcasts, etc

Each has their place. I use Pixelmator, Affinity Designer, Sketch, and occasionally Gimp and Photoshop. Canva is really good at doing things like throwing together a flyer. I used to create social media posts for a pre-school and Canva was super easy to create templates that lay folks could edit. Virtually no learning curve.
Affinity is my vector tool of choice currently but these space seems to be a field with lots of options.
My suspension has Pedal Lock Out and Low SPD. When would I want to have pedal lock out and what's the advantage of the Low Spd settings? I just upgraded from an entry level hardtail to a used carbon fiber XC bike I picked up for a steal. All the components are much nicer than what I had before. My goal now is to get fast on flowy trails. I'm not a gear head and mostly just want to have fun while exercising.

I bought at the peak myself to have stable housing while raising kids.
If house prices just stayed flat until wages caught up and then only increased similar to match wage increases (not inflation) that might be a reasonable compromise between the middle class who have a house and don't. Those who own will still be paying down a mortgage so increasing your equity that way without being decimated if you have to move. Unfortunately at this point, that could take awhile before wages caught up.

I'm not arguing in favor for house prices going up but just wanted to point out how a lot of people use the value of their home. You can pull out money from your house and your interest payments don't change when the value of your house goes up.
I'll give the example of my neighbor. They bought their house 10 years ago at about $250k. Interest rates were around 4.5%. We're in a location that got really hot during the pandemic and the house value jumped to about $700k. At that moment, they had the same payments as 10 years ago. Then interest rates dropped down below 3%. His balance on the original mortgage is probably about $175k and now he refinances the house with a mortgage of $325k, pays off the old loan, and pockets $150k out of the house. But due to the lower interest rates, his payment is the same as it was 10 years ago. He just has $150k in his pocket. Meanwhile, I'm the schmuck who had to buy the identical house at $700k at 5% and pay 3x for the same house.
I like the idea of Hey.com but honestly, I struggle with the idea of paying $100/year and I've had my Gmail since 2005. It's almost like an archive of my life. Are there any systems, apps, or something similar to Hey that don't require me to leave Gmail? I know I could do Gmail forwarding within Hey but thought I'd just poke around first.

For the same reason there are McDonalds everywhere. They are familiar and convenient despite almost always being inferior.
The Winds and flooding can do so much damage with modern construction. Seems like it would wipe out entire villages if they were more primitive.

I lived adjacent to a neighborhood like this. It was much quieter than middle aged neighbors with Harley’s. Little Cessnas and Pipers are not that loud.

I agree.
Also check out Greenlight which has a built in parents interest feature.
I've been using You Need a Budget for family budgeting and I like it but it is expensive. I've played with Buckets a little bit and looks like a contender. Anyone move from YNAB to Buckets?

There are not a lot of incentives to make things easier/cheaper. Changing government processes is slow and hard. Take immigration. It is currently a long and hard process to legally immigrate to US unless you fall into certain categories. I’ve heard politicians on both sides say my entire life that we need to improve the process for legal immigration yet little has been done.

I think flexibility is key. There are days where I peak my productivity at 4 hours. There are days where I get in the flow and can be productive for 12.

One time 20+ years ago I was at a Sonic and there was an empty lot next door. A helicopter landed and 2 kids ran out and went over to the sonic and ordered food. Became a core memory.

Visible is pretty great. I don't really have any issues with it. I pay $25/month. Spouse has upgraded Visible plan of $45/mo and an Apple Watch $5/mo. My 3 kids have Tello $9 plans which gives the unlimited text/talk and 500MB of data. That's just enough to track their locations, Otherwise they tether for free on our phones. Everyone has an iPhone.
25+45+5+3x9 = $102 all in. No additional fees or taxes.

I use Visible and Tello for phone lines. Have 5 iPhones and pay less than $100/mo.
Buy store brands. A lot of times store brand is cheaper than name brand in bulk at Sam’s/costco.
Buy reliable used cars in cash and learn how to do some auto maintenance yourself.
There are high end thrift stores where you can find barely used quality clothes. Rich people often where them once or twice and then get rid of them.
Date nights in the middle of the week. Lots of places have specials.

Hate to see local business fail but there are a ton of breweries in this town. To be successful you really need to nail both the quality of the drink and the atmosphere.
Still, I’ve heard most just break even.

Yeah. It’s extremely common. Fluoride treatments, sealants, crown replacements aren’t necessary. And things like veneers, and whiting are pushed pretty hard.

I use YNAB which I guess is technically zero based budgeting but we refer to the categories as envelopes. In my mind I’m doing the same thing as when I had cash in envelopes I just don’t have to deal with cash. I group my categories by the 50/30/20.
So I guess 4 with a bit of 1 and 3?
I'm relatively new to MTB. I bought an REI Co-op DRT 1.1 hardtail about 2 years ago. It's decent but I ride with guys who have full-suspension Santa Cruz or Cannondale bikes and they can manage to get up more tricky terrain. I find myself walking my bike more than I'd like. I've seen some 6 or 7 year old seemingly better bikes on FB marketplace for $600-800 like a [Ghost Kato FS 7](https://www.rei.com/product/893205/ghost-kato-fs-7-275-bike-2016) Is that decent upgrade from a hardtail while on a budget? What's the best options for upgrades under $1000? It's mostly rocky hilly terrain and some gravel narrow tracks in central Texas.
I have an app for programming my chicken coop. My 401k company just created an app for onboarding new participants. These should have been mobile friendly webpages.
Right now I do free weights a couple times of week, a little bit of yoga, and then a fair amount of cardio. Now that I'm in my late 30s I seem to be injuring myself a lot. Little stuff like pulled muscles, tendonitis, joint pain etc. Yoga has definitely help and I've adjusted the cardio I do. Any recommendations for a strength plan that focuses more on mobility, flexibility and not injuring yourself?

I'm trying to assess if this is worth it before talking to contractors. I've done a lot of DIY remodels and hired out some but never anything of this magnitude. I want to build an addition on top of the garage and connect to the rest of the 2nd floor. Here's some assumptions I have. -The slab foundation appears to have same construction as the rest of the house. Let's assume the footings are good for a second floor -The joists and walls in the garage do not appear to be structured for a second floor. Will need to reinforce garage walls and add joists. -This project would coincide with an already planned new roof and HVAC upgrade. So HVAC could be sized for the new square footage Houses are going for about $275 square foot in our area. This will add about 250 square feet to the house. So if this could be done for $60k or less I won't lose equity. 1. Any success or horror stories with this sort of thing? 2. Any one tackle something like this as your own GC?
We use Google Docs in my company for all of our documentation, notes, etc. I don't hate it. It's come a long way. Personally, I've jumped around way too many note taking apps and I'm currently using Notion (until Anytype gets a little more mature). Half the time, I start a note in my personal tool and then copy and paste it into a Google Doc so I can share and collaborate. I'm not going to get the entire organization to move over to whatever tool I want. My biggest problem with Google Docs is that it's organized into directories with the rest of GDrive. I really want to be able to organize it like notebooks in most note taking app. Where I can have a hierarchy and relationships. Notes on a project might be in a directory with 25 other files and I don't want to see all of that. I spend a lot of time hunting for the note I need in the hundreds of Google Drive folders. I messed around with Rainbdrop.io which is a bookmark manager and gets me close to what I want but it's pretty slow. Anyone have any novel ways to organize Google Docs?
On Apple TV you can switch from the normal announcers or local radio station. Which do you pick? I cant decide.

As an electrical/software guy i really appreciated this.
I would really like the ability to create my own algorithm. For example, I follow communities for my local sportsball team and memes. Memes, I really just want to see what's "hot" for the last day but my sportsball I want to see everything posted for the last week. And the real dream would be to tweak this algorithm across fediverse services.
Match day, y’all. What do we want to do over here on Lemmy?
Or a mix of both? Seems like they’ve got something in every category. Also, sorry I went this morning and didn’t ask if anyone needed something.
