  1. I've been wondering: For my home-brew #budgeting tool (Python TUI tool), it's kind of tedious to always have to go and export for *all* accounts the transactions via Web UI interfaces separately, tediously giving time frames, form of export, etc. Lots of clickety clack involved.

    With the introduction to 'open banking' in Aotearoa NZ, is it possible for individuals to access their bank's (in this case #Kiwibank ) #OpenBanking APIs to get access to transactions?

    Or is 'open' in this case only coined towards accredited, paid up, commercial entities, but not the bank customers themselves?

  5. RE: mastodon.social/@aboutsignal/1

    Many of my kids want to securely text other kids who have laptops but not a phone plan or a debit card or spare money securely. This will stop that.

    This will also make new users think that signal is a greedy company doing pay for privacy.

  15. I've been canceling monthly subscriptions for three main reasons.

    One, they're costing too much money (prices keep going up). Two, I can get a lot of the same services for free from my library (borrow movies, auidobooks, etc), and three, I'd rather touch grass before the world ends.

  25. I’m thinking of using @ff3 to do some personal financing and budgeting, as opposed to the closed-source Monarch, but one thing that feels super advantageous from the latter is that it’ll link to my credit card/bank and automatically track and auto-sort my transactions, without me having to remember to do so myself. Does anyone know if Firefly III has a similar capability?

  40. Viral Grocery ‘Hacks’ Take Over PH Social Media as pandamart Deals Gain Buzz

    From Threads to Reddit, budget-conscious Filipinos are turning to pandamart for up to 50% off essentials and upcoming piso sale

    From Threads posts highlighting sulit grocery finds to Reddit communities trading practical financial tips, more Filipinos are sharing digital “hacks” to help stretch household budgets. Among the deals gaining traction online are pandamart’s grocery promos, which users have been sharing as cost-effective ways to save on everyday essentials.

    “Nag-trend na bigla tong pandamart dito sa Threads ngayong week & honestly in this economy? Sulit to!” one Threads user wrote online, while another posted, “This isn’t just a trend, this promo is a lifesaver in this economy!” after sharing a discounted pandamart grocery haul.

    As rising everyday expenses continue to shape how households plan their weekly spending, many consumers are looking not just for discounts, but for smarter and more convenient ways to manage daily errands. For some, that means finding ways to skip unnecessary trips outside while still keeping the pantry stocked and the household running smoothly.

    As part of the initiative, pandamart is offering up to 50% off on first-time orders for new users nationwide. The promo applies across all categories, including fresh produce, meats, frozen goods, snacks, drinks, and household essentials.

    Available 24/7 through the foodpanda app, pandamart allows customers to order groceries any time of day for immediate delivery, whether they need dinner ingredients, weekly pantry restocks, or last-minute items.

    “We’ve noticed more users sharing the promo online as a helpful way to save on everyday grocery needs, and that’s exactly the kind of experience we hoped to create,” said Joseph Wijesekara, Director of Q-Commerce at foodpanda Philippines. “We want pandamart to become a practical everyday solution for households looking for smarter and more convenient ways to manage their grocery needs.”

    Aside from the newcomer discount, existing pandamart customers can also enjoy ongoing deals and added savings across the platform. Customers can get 5% off for purchases worth P599, 8% off for purchases worth P999, and 10% off for purchases worth P1,499. Meanwhile, pandapro subscribers can unlock bigger discounts, with 8% off for purchases worth P599, 10% off for purchases worth P999, and 15% off for purchases worth P1,499.

    foodpanda shared that the savings initiative will continue beyond its current rollout after originally being introduced as a limited-time offer. Beyond the up to 50% off deals for first-time users, pandapro subscribers can also enjoy Buy One Get One offers and added savings across the platform, while select grocery items will continue to feature discounts of up to 20% off.

    Sustaining the momentum, pandamart is set to launch its highly anticipated Dad’s ₱1 Sale just in time for Father’s Day.

    From June 19 to 21 (or until supplies last), customers nationwide can score essentials for as low as ₱1, with no voucher code needed.

    The Father’s Day Piso Sale aims to give families a seamless way to treat Dad without turning the celebration into another errand for him. Instead of asking him to drive, brave supermarket crowds, or carry heavy bags, families can handle the party prep with a few taps—allowing Dads to simply kick back and enjoy their day.

    As online buzz around pandamart’s grocery deals continues to grow, the platform is also expanding its nationwide footprint, with more locations opening across the country and existing stores gradually transitioning to 24/7 operations—making the internet’s favorite grocery “hack” even more accessible for everyday essentials, late-night cravings, and last-minute celebrations.

    Join the grocery hack everyone’s been talking about online. Download the foodpanda app now, grab your 50% newcomer discount, and start shopping smarter.

  42. Podcast Episode: Money, Time And Happiness

    Spending and saving are two extremes that define how we use our money. On one side, compulsive buying creates closets full of unused clothes — frozen capital that generates nothing and leaves behind environmental damage through fast fashion waste.

    On the other side, saving and investing unlock the power of compound interest, where time and consistency transform small monthly contributions into significant wealth.

    The nineteenth‑century factory worker had no access to this tool; mutual aid was their only option. Today, the infrastructure exists: mutual funds with low minimums, automated savings apps, and tax‑advantaged accounts.

    The real challenge is not whether compound interest works, but whether we start before we feel ready. In the end, the choice is between money trapped in fabric or money working for your future — and the lever you pull determines whether you optimize for time, money, or happiness.

  44. Lately I follow the same process:

    - Research most reliable brands for that appliance type.

    - Look around a bit but ultimately land at Costco. Buy the basic, least digital model that meets our needs from Costco and the 5 year warranty. (In the case of today's dryer - large capacity.)

    - Schedule delivery. Pay from my appliances and home repairs savings account. Top that account back up over the next several months.

    - Rinse and repeat. Sigh.

    We're a family of 5 and we're getting close to needing a new appliance purchase every year. Ouch.
