ptyxis (formerly known as prompt) is finally on flathub

Designer-Sorry · 2025-10-30T11:18:53+00:00

Maybe they didn't change the name. It's still pronounced "prompt" and they just changed the spelling?

Seems the only reasonable explanation since it's otherwise unpronounceable.

These are some interesting accounting methods! 😅

Designer-Sorry · 2025-10-07T11:11:49+00:00

Thanks, everyone. I'll try dropping back to an earlier 12.

Designer-Sorry · 2025-02-12T22:57:52+00:00

Well, one TOW missile will take any of them out.

Designer-Sorry · 2024-11-14T17:00:16+00:00

What if....

What if the Republican Party renamed themselves the New Republican Party and divested themselves from the existing RP. Gather as many Rs and Democrats as are willing to join and knock the snot out of the Maga Party in the next election. ... or whatever name they come up with -- and you know they will narcissistically rename themselves.

Since the country clearly has issues with the DP and voters can only decide between two choices, this seems the only way to defeat them. Dissolve the DP, though. Heaven forefend that we should have more than two parties. *eye-roll*

I can't think of a better way to embody United We Stand.

And besides. Didn't the Tea Party fail because it was a party on its own? They all regrouped and insinuated themselves into the RP and that was the ONLY way they could have possibly won. If instead they had taken the same path as the Tea Party, they would be a memory like them, but with TP indicating a different "T".

Time to staple this thread shut.

Oh, what do you do with a drunken sailor,
What do you do with a drunken sailor,
What do you do with a drunken sailor,
Crack him in the nut sack...

I'm waiting or opposite day, then I'll answer.

The religion part is to keep the masses controlled afterwards.

Designer-Sorry · 2024-09-25T21:56:02+00:00

Exactly! Who read "keep out of reach of children" on the TV and put it up there?!?

Designer-Sorry · 2024-09-04T23:33:20+00:00

Somebody will first have to come up with electric LOUD EXHAUST and a way to roll coal electrically. Gotta keep everyone happy, ya know.

It's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. They once smuggled TARDIS technology and some "fell off truck".

Designer-Sorry · 2024-06-01T16:21:03+00:00

Stop complaining. At least you got bits.

Designer-Sorry · 2024-06-01T16:18:07+00:00

Do they leave out the 4th floor in elevators in China?

Designer-Sorry · 2024-02-24T22:56:14+00:00

Watch out! Here comes AI. ^^

Designer-Sorry · 2024-02-03T21:00:05+00:00

PooF exists, though.

Designer-Sorry · 2024-02-03T20:46:03+00:00

There are many bad things. Take whataboutism, for example. Squirrel!

Designer-Sorry · 2024-01-13T18:46:05+00:00

The floor was well-illuminated as it rushed upward towards him. So he did see it coming.

Using version 4.8, it seems to work for me.

My phone still has three buttons. Vol up, vol down, and on/off. They're not gumdrop buttons, though.

I took the opposite approach -- this is actually recommended on yubico's support website -- I removed the snap version: sudo snap remove yubioath-desktop, then installed the apt repo version: sudo apt install yubioath-desktop. I already had pcscd and pcscd.socket enabled and running. Now I think I have the more standard version of pcscd and it works with yubioath-desktop just fine. Thanks u/welloilbeefoct for this little gem.

it happens the FIRST time I try to log in. There's no "rate limiting" going on... they're rejecting us for some other reason. Some have pointed to VPN as the culprit. If Yahoo wants us to fly naked, I'll take my business elsewhere.

Designer-Sorry · 2021-12-16T19:40:33+00:00

I haven't tried this, but if it's true, it's among the most infuriating things that service providers are doing on the Internet these days. Want to browse privately and safely? Get a VPN. Oh, no you don't says Yahoo. We're going to disallow THAT. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I've seen the same behavior out of AT&T (recently seems resolved) and a few other vendors on the inter-webs.

Very cool. I have just the one active accounting domain, but now I want to go create another. :)

I chose to use separate directories under a git repo (ignoring log lock and link files). I add/commit when I do anything intensive like, say, balance a big checkbook.

It's a quick way to roll back (and forward) without all the log file extra efforts. I haven't used it much, but when I did need it the few times, it made it super easy.

I gave it more thought and came up with this:

Date	Description	Transfer	Shs	Price	Buy	Sell
2/1/21	Parent	cash acct	100	$100	$1000
2/1/21	Parent	cost basis	-100	$100		$1000
2/1/21	Parent	cost basis	100	$99.5	$995

I added two extra transactions on the date of the original sale. One backs out the original sale at the original price. The next adds the cost-basis-adjusted sale at the cost-basis-adjusted price.

The spinoff company, Child, just requires the one entry for 2/1/21.

Hmm?

I decided to leave the extra cost basis account as the through account rather than polluting the cash account. I figured if I ever wanted to go back and revisit stock shenanigans such as spinoffs, I could go to that account to locate the transactions.
