If people generally atent buying, there’s still People that need to buy (businesses, oems, etc)

They’re just doing the ol covid ratchet. Tightening the thumbscrews on the people who can’t opt out.

Doesn’t affect their bottom line much if nobody’s choosing to buy.

Literally the first image in that page is a picture of Singapores public housing, and a claim that they have the highest home ownership rates in the world.

It’s nearly as if public housing can work?

It’s nearly as if there’s no single solution. Houses suck and apartments suck for completely different reasons.

(But tbh, nearly all of the reasons you mentioned apartments suck have been maybe an issue once 10+ years of living in apartments)

Houses are pretty terrible for a multitude of factors:

  • urban sprawl
  • congestion
  • pollution
  • high cost public works
  • low income for public bodies doing those works
  • environmental erosion
  • flood protection

We should be building apartments that everyone can own, live and be happy in. It shouldn’t be reserved for home owners.

Boredom is a gift that gives people energy.

Where they spend that energy is entirely up to their circumstances. Do they binge watch an entire series of the simpsons? Or do they take up painting.

It can lead to wonderful things, but equally it can be squandered.

I think you might have solved my weird unknown warez.

I only watched this because i watched Repomen the week earlier, and learned I started Skinny Puppy frontman Nivek Ogre.

Did you know there’s so sequels too?

25+ years ago there was a release on some Warez sites called “beer police”.

From what I remember, It was a game set in some future sci-fi world with flying cars with a 5th element vibe.

Only ever saw it for a few hours at a mates house, so my memory is sketchy, but I’ve never found any other mention of it.

“Known CSAM” suggests researchers ran it through automated detection tools which the dataset authors could have used.

Their calendar, contacts and bridge don’t support CalDAV/CardDAV, so you can’t synchronise them anywhere.

The iOS app doesn’t synchronise contacts or calendars either. There’s a one way “upload to proton”, but not the most helpful.

The public holidays only include some countries (not mine).

Their VPN is terrible with 20% packet loss, despite sitting in the same data center as other VPN providers without that issue.

But, still not google, and their mail app is better on iOS than fastmail.

Intentionally infect yourself with lice.

And now everywhere we have cell towers sticking out of the ground with little consideration for where it is.
