Have you tried Lunch Money (https://lunchmoney.app/)? I found it through HN. I've been very happy with it.

I think their discord community can help you with your specific questions.

They are protesting because:

1. Construction will require clearcutting forest.

2. The factory will use large amounts of water and is being built in a region where water is scarce.

3. The factory will use solvents and paints which can cause groundwater pollution.

4. The local population is opposed to construction on environmental grounds, yet it seems construction will proceed anyway.

Of course, there are also people who are opposed to Tesla or the car industry in general, for both good and foolish reasons. I'd wager Musk being an outspoken anti-Semite and Nazi sympathizer doesn't go over well in Germany.

It's shitty reporting, plain and simple. Even Wired got it right.

Yep, water looks to be a huge issue. The video(https://vimeo.com/938795435) in this article(https://unicornriot.ninja/2024/teslastoppen-elon-musks-water...) helped me better understand what's going on.

> the factory used almost 450,000 cubic meters of water, while it is licensed to use up to 1.8 million cubic meters, equivalent to the water consumption of a city with a population of 40,000 people.

> residents will only be allowed to use 105 liters of water per person per day, while the national average use is 128 liters per day.

Thought this was a interesting read about Google's search result changes recently:

https://housefresh.com/how-google-decimated-housefresh/

> Unfortunately, Google’s documentation only deems “site abuse reputation” as spam when the site uses third parties to produce and/or publish pages to manipulate search rankings.

The article argues that it will just shift the pattern of spam companies so that they can generate their own spam in-house.

I heard all this hubbub about Mint going away, but I think it just rebranded. Now it’s part of the Credit Karma app and it still works, my accounts are all still there.

It reminds of the HBO/Max thing. Seems like a braindead decision to try to force all of your customers to install a new app to keep existing functionality. It’s like acquiring all your customers all over again. You’re bound to lose a bunch. Even if it’s downstream of some corporate reorganization, why not keep both apps around in the App Store and just update the branding? If there’s a technical migration happening, even if it’s a totally new code base, can you not ship that as an update and just exist in the App Store under multiple names?

I dunno. I switched over to https://lunchmoney.app/. But it was so frustrating wading through all the bad search results to find it.

When I search for "mint alternative", the first links are from reddit, which is pretty easy to spam.

The second looks like a parasite article. It is paid content from some Taboola company. It's difficult to tell who is making the money. Did some affiliate publisher pay for Taboola Turnkey to run their article on Time.com to take advantage of their domain authority? Or is Time.com itself making money off the affiliate links?

The ranking of their top product recommendation has switched between Empower (which pays at least $100 per lead), and Quicken. Currently Empower must be paying the most as it is listed as best, but a few weeks ago it was Quicken.

I'll be watching this keyword to see if the results page improves. Been really frustrated with Google results lately.
