Not sure what you are trying to say. There's little point to simply keeping records in a plaintext file, but that's not what PTA is about.

It's about using plaintext files that can work with various tools, such as ledger, hledger, or beancount, all capable of generating relevant reports and more, all while being able to edit/automate easily because, well, they're just text files.

Also, the more automation you do the more you can focus on actual analysing your finances which can help you improve.

I'm sure every other tools like this can handle automation very well but provided that you are capable of writing scripts and stuff, PTA is much more versatile and it can work for you better.

PTA is the way to go.

hledger, especially, is amazing.

imo every single beginner friendly distro all have the same problem. They are, for some extent, easier to use than others, until they're not, at which point you find yourself digging through documents and forums or asking ChatGPT to break the system.

After few years of that dance, I found Linux Mint to be the easiest and Fedora KDE to be the nicest.

Don't put them on your dry ass hand and let them be.

Not really. I live in South Korea and this has never been an issue anywhere I lived/know of.

Modern society has already been doing so. Sychophantic compliments and "you go girl" and "do what you wanna do" attitude.

It's not always easy to be yourself and not be a huge PITA at the same time. Society these days only talks about the first part.

this is supposed to be more secure because it costs money

It makes blaming someone really easy though and that's all that matters in a corporate world.

Just do this like I did

Try Rust. No GC overhead.
