   You say no to them. I have a standing time reserved for school run. People regularly book stuff over it. I reject the meeting automatically. If I have 'busy' in my calendar because I don't want to be disturbed I first take a

   I remember energy providers here in the UK went under way before Ukraine war because of electricity price spike. When war started we had another spike but it was short and prices are now at the same level as before the war but still higher

   threads.net returns a blank page for me on Firefox on Linux. Works fine on Chromium and Brave. Oh well, I guess no threads for me.

    For family finances we use KMyMoney. It has good enough reports and forecast features. I can also add investments and sync the value with a click of a button. I tried GnuCash a few times but never really got it to work. Thanks for reminding

    Flameshot is the thing I was looking for! I'll dive into the source code to see if I can find my way around and learn anything.

    I like it very much. Downloaded image is unreadable though - much smaller than original paste. If you make the image bigger then background is not visible any more.

    Yes, less than 41% but they are under 25. It's reasonable to believe that many more from their generation will own a place where they live in the next 15 years.

    It's not that simple. "Gen Zers are tracking ahead of their parents’ homeownership rate: 30% of 25-year olds owned their home in 2022, higher than the 27% rate for Gen Xers when they were the same age. But the Gen Zers who didn’t

    I rarely experience something not working on Firefox. When I do I go with Brave which usually works. If it doesn't I fire up an email or click on Contact Us page and send an email. Most of the time companies are quite responsive and fi

    Some 20 years ago I went and built "Linux From Scratch". I think this (among other similar exercises I did) enables me to find my way pretty quickly around any new or old tech thrown my way. I highly recommend this to anyone inter

    Why not make it a default state? My default is all notifications off. I understand that for some people that's not really an option but for most it certainly is.
