Like you mentioned, it’s the biased part of the business which wrestles with journalistic integrity.
ie. Return on Investment, special access or limited access compared to your competitors depending how your piece is written.
It’s not entirely surprising when journalistic integrity is at odds with the finances that fund said journalism, but it most certainly can be disappointing.
You mean giving him an easily scrape-able database of my social media interactions and interests/internet footprint via junk mail lists/marketing ads from sites I visit and sign up for?
Thank you but I’m personally going to pass.
Yeah I think he just shared the .com domain and wasn’t thinking about it/aware which is why he edited his comment and just linked to the GitHub page.
It’s really annoying, because the .com address is the top result on Google too when you search for Actual Budget.
Actualbudget.com =/= actualbudget.org
Originally the project was a closed source budgeting app to compete against YNAB on privacy and cost but the developer got overwhelmed and decided to open source the project.
I can’t remember all the details why the project doesn’t have access to the .com domain still, but you can use the .org site to see the details/source code. (You can also see the .com address hasn’t been updated, and still has the original 2020 copyright date)
Totally agree. Unfortunately it’ll still be attacked as “government funded media” like NPR gets even though from my understanding what you’re describing sounds more international. And I’m sure there will always be pressure from countries demanding veto power or they’ll cut their funding similar to the issues the UN has, but we can’t let searching for the best solution keep us from implementing one that’s better than what we have now.
