    I think it’s gotten to the point that we. (Collective) Have to start using alias. I know proton for a price gives fake mobile and email address.

    I have started using a 5th email to sign up to things. Have an extra number as well. It’s beyond a joke really.

    Tried to sign up for a budget app and it requires email phone and address.

    No. No you don’t require any of that. You want that to sell. And you’ve likely got inadequate protection.

    Nobody but my bank job and maybe a few places require all my info.

      Oh proton gives mobile too… Ya know I didn’t feel like paying for the mail thing as I can have my domain and relay easily but the mobile thing I didn’t know.

      But I will be honest I didn’t see it mentioned on the web, it’s already a thing?

          Yeah except it’s fully FOSS. If you set up nextcloud there’s even a web app for it that’s pretty good.

              I used it in college and never had any problems, it seems to have feature parity with Excel. I used Excel professionally for a while and some of the workflows are a little different, but on the whole it’s really intuitive and easy to use. I’m sure there are other FOSS budgeting solutions, but Calc works so well for me I don’t see myself using anything else.
