But all of those things contribute to inflation of home values. Not sure if I’m just agreeing with your point or not, but a reduction in buyers doesn’t mean nobody is trying to buy right now, but if conditions are such that sellers aren’t incentivized to make moves, those who are can charge a premium when they do.
It’s bullshit, not because it’s factually incorrect, but because it’s a completely made-up scarcity given how much vacant property exists in the US and worldwide. In the US, we’ve regulated property development to protect existing homeowners and limit high occupancy housing to “less desirable” neighborhoods. Until those areas become desirable - at which point we evict all the low income families, turn entire floors of apartments into single condos, and charge millions of dollars for them.
Further, evidence that the inflation rates are indeed slowing as the Fed makes borrowing more expensive signals real estate investors to just weather the storm, because the return of rock bottom rates is, in the scheme of things, just around the corner.
I don’t think we’ll ever see coastal real estate markets truly bottom out or even meaningfully correct without a complete economic collapse of the US, which would really be a complete global economic collapse.
I'm loving the FPS renaissance we've been seeing lately. The Boomer Shooter... boom, low poly gameplay-centric entries like BattleBit Remastered, rhythm games like Metal Hellsinger, and the latest incarnations of DooM and games seeking to mimic it are all welcome additions to the current gaming landscape. Also love experimentation happening by even established and larger developers - Gearbox's efforts with the Tiny Tina RPGish games come to mind; though I wish they'd do a better job of addressing bugs in those games. I'd love to see more FPS-RPGs come around.
Hell - I'd love to see a ton of crossovers. It's been a while since we had a truly great FPS platformer. RIP Mirror's Edge.
I appreciate that his obit outlines how exasperating Kevin was. But ultimately he did a lot of good even if he did get a bit of a god complex from his notoriety. No matter how you slice it, 59 is too young, and Kevin was far from enough of a jerk to deserve that fate. I hope his family can mourn and find peace. See you on the flip side, Kevin.
I think it’s reasonable to argue, “a super like that also shares the post is functionally different from just a super like.” It doesn’t seem nit-picky when discussing the reasons why someone might choose one service over another to want to be precise about the mechanics of one of those services, no?
Thickness is the only concern I have. I’d love to be able to replace the battery in my iPhone safely and easily, but I don’t really want to give up having a phone that’s less than 10mm thick.
I don’t think that’s true. Unless it’s a server side server denial rather than defederation, all posts on Lemmy are public. This means Threads will directly receive updates even from defederated instances.
Should those of us in TestFlight keep using that version or should we start migrating to the app store app, @gkd@lemmy.ml? I'm not sure how long having us there continues to benefit the team with continued development.
It's blatantly wrong. Google extended XMPP for their own purposes and when participating with XMPP no longer suited them, they left. The collapse of the "XMPP userbase" is a misnomer - those users were never XMPP users. They were Google Chat users. When Google left, XMPP was in the same state it was in before Google got on board. It returned to its status as a niche protocol for a service that, as @effingjoe@kbin.social points out, people didn't really want anymore.
Defederating is a one-way transaction. Any instance that defederates from Threads will only stop themselves from receiving data from it, but Threads will still be able to pull data directly from any and all instances.
