I mean, it’s pretty clear who has kids in the past 15 posts and who doesn’t. I don’t need buyers protection on my weekly payment to a little sweet old lady and her sister. If I thought there might be a chance I would, I wouldn’t have chosen her in the first place. Back to the original topic: gently caress the Zelle app and their 3-minute login

If they're going to skip out on business related expenses/paperwork like this what else are they doing? It’s very funny to me that you think you would have options like “go somewhere else” or “work with the kid around”.

Turns out in a lot of cases you don't have a choice. Like your other choice is to take your kid to work or quit your job.

when my kid was younger he went to what was considered an extremely affordable daycare that cost as much as the rent on our house

The first and only time I thought I could work while my 2 year old stayed home was very humbling. It turns out him wanting to hit all the keys on my keyboard, touch my laptop screen because he's used to everything being a tablet, or just wave to everyone on my call the entire time I use it, does in fact get in the way. You just have to hope they get sick enough that you can throw Bluey on and they don't want to move off the couch.

When I hear the word “daycare” I think of like a registered business with a rented workspace in a building, with like custom made signage, insurance, employees, and the works. In that sense I would totally be weirded out if they wanted me to “gift” them money so that they could avoid losing a 2% or whatever cut over setting up a business account. But the way you are describing daycare makes it sound more like “person you trust with your kids at their homes” which sounds more like babysitting? I dunno. Either way, this situation I wouldn’t be weirded out at all for them wanting to not set up a business account for business transactions.

A LOT of parents use the latter because the former is booked for six to twelve months and they need childcare NOW.

Yes these can afford the 2% because, Weedle posted:when my kid was younger he went to what was considered an extremely affordable daycare that cost as much as the rent on our house Everyone I know with younger kids in “daycare” legit spends thousands a month on it.

Yeah, in my case it's an older lady in her own home watching X number of kids, fully within the legal ratio. She is a legit registered business/daycare with the county and all that, has a proper tax ID, gives us weekly payment receipts, and gives us tax forms at the end of the year. I trust her with my toddlers enough to where I know she's not just going to pack up and take off with my weekly payment. I can see why her Venmo/Paypal accounts were limited/locked, but there's pretty much no reason to just freely give Paypal/Venmo 5% or whatever of the 10s of thousands of dollars I pay a year to her. The payment protection is unnecessary in my case. I'm just frustrated in the Zelle app sucking rear end every Monday morning and having it's weekly limit so low.

It's certainly a spectrum from babysitter to daycare with A LOT of illegal operations in the middle. While I personally think a legitimate business when I hear daycare I also interact with a handful of small businesses and how they maintain their business from a legal and payroll perspective can be an absolute crapshoot, regardless of the industry. I have two kids in daycare and it costs us $441/week. This is a legit business with a license and state-mandated maximum number of kids per employee. That being said the employees are a mix of the owner, her daughter in law, and then whoever they can get. The latter spans from retired teachers to college age kids that sit on their phone.

I know there are a million markdown editors for iOS, but is there a nice one that would allow me to access the iCloud folder for iA Writer that doesn't cost £50? I have iA Writer for the Mac and like it a lot, but can't justify spending the money on the iOS version. Being able to access those files (and edit, obvs) on the go now and then would be handy, though... e: typewriter scrolling would be nice HorseHeadBed fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Feb 21, 2023 |

Anyone have a good iPhone app to maintain a list of dated entries? Like if I want to keep track of my car maintenance in one place, but doesn’t need to be car specific. Notes app kind of supports this but not really date focused.

It was recommended elsewhere on the forums, and I just set it up myself. Pretty handy with a good overview of when basic items are due. Will try to give it a bit more of a deep dive too.

I’ve been moving off of gmail to icloud for my mail, but I would like something that does the auto filtering that gmail does. Any options for this without using another provider like spark? I guess what I really want is server side filters which iCloud doesn’t have.

Yeah, no Mac to run and the rules for automation are reeeeally limited. It’s disappointing that the icloud web is so basic.. if it even had some ability to filter and sort emails it would make moving off gmail way easier.

I don't know if spark offers email service but I had some privacy concerns although I enjoyed using the app for a week to read my fastmail account; it was better than any other iOS or mac mail app imo. They rewrote the app recently and I hear it sucks now. Besides the existing privacy concerns, they're in Ukraine and Russian cyberattacks there "surged by 250% in 2022 when compared to two years ago," and well I'm sorry fellas I hope it works out for your company. I have used fastmail for like a decade, it's got a great rules system and can be used with basically any email client.

Yeah iirc there was some privacy concerns with Spark (this was well before the hostilities too) and I didn’t feel like it would be a good move. They seem to have got a GDPR stamp of approval on their site so perhaps it is ok now. Fastmail still looks more compelling though. Would it work ok to forward icloud to fastmail as well? Just to keep using that email.

Probably, I forward my old school e-mail address there and some filtered ones from my gmail. 1Password has an integration with them to create masked emails too (also you can create your own email aliases like yourusername@one-of-their-domains.tld) I still use the iCloud separately for signing up to random bullshit and that has also improved a lot with hide my email, which does the same thing and seems to work in more auto fill boxes than 1Password on safari mobile.

I do get a lot of mileage from making a white list of email addresses for Real poo poo and letting email addresses to any others go to a different folder. Filtering by "unsubscribe" or "subscription preferences" has helped too.

You can do a lot of good things with Sieve if you're willing to put in the time, but your mileage may vary (and be careful so you don't accidentally delete all your incoming emails)

Gmail automatically sorts promotional emails/notifications from social media into separate inboxes. So if you've got tons of newsletters/updates for an app you signed up for and used one like a decade ago, they get filtered away to pages you never need to look at and you end up with a nice clean primary inbox of actual emails.

Applying tags to things as they arrive is great. And it’s cool how fastmail lets you set auto delete on folders/tags after a period of time, so I don’t have newsletters from 2 years still around.
