I understand that, but at some point they will hit a number where people in the area can't afford the 1st month (or more) down or even monthly payments. And landlords aren't going to just start waiving the down payment or rent up front as this whole thing is about them using algorithms to maximize income. So there is a ceiling, but they can of course collude on what that is and all match that ceiling so that it's the only option (which I assume is what happened here). If they can then cause turnover once tenants are in place by prices breaking that ceiling they can keep down payments for breaking lease, then drop the price back to that ceiling for the next victim, rinse and repeat.

Trump's son in law and his father are slum lords, so no doubt this will only get worse.

Although at some point landlords have to realize the ceiling so that they can continue to rent units, because empty units is them losing money.

But we either need caps based on median income of the area, or some kind of renter collective that says nobody is going to pay rent on units in this area over $X price.

It's probably as simple as Ecosia pays more than Startpage was willing to. Firefox has been bleeding money and it's a little frightening to see what was the open source browser struggle to right the ship.

Ah good, about time we relaxed restrictions on hate speech directed at topics (groups) like immigrants and "gender" (aka LGBTQ+ and women). /s

They are on Codeberg, but it's only as a github mirror.

This is doing what Zuck wanted anyway I'm sure, but also getting ahead of the GOP coming for all the "unfair to conservatives" deluge of shit coming at social media platforms very soon.

The largest issue in the US is that empathy is dying, and is constantly used as a weapon against good people as the Right condemns them for being "weak".

The sad part is that they see being a bully and putting down others that should be allies as "strong", all in a futile grasp for this dream of power unattainable for 99.999999% percent of people. They are never going to get the carrot, but are also determined to keep down as many like them as possible. If they could just come around to the idea of strength in numbers against those using wealth as a weapon to suppress the masses, we could fix a lot of issues more easily/quicker.

It's Tim Apple you moron's, duh! /s

This just had me think of "Ten Crack Commandments" by The Notorious B.I.G. as he samples that.

Probably for most of the same reasons that IRC isn't mentioned for fediverse chat, the main one being that they don't use one of the newer federation protocols. They don't talk the same federation protocol language, so you can't really group them under the same category.

I'm pretty sure the interest stopped when he was able to meet the unjustly gifted reduced bond he needed to file his appeal.

Not sure how a state level civil defamation case would make it to the federal criminal level without bending the whole criminal justice system.

From the DoJ website:

NOTE: The Department of Justice has no authority to intervene in matters of state law. The Department of Justice can assume jurisdiction only when there has been a violation of federal law.

After being greeted by boos and yells of “loser” as he arrived at PubKey, a Bitcoin-themed watering hole near New York University in Greenwich Village, the former president was met with heavy applause from a mixture of self-identified Bitcoin enthusiasts and Trump supporters when he entered the dimly lit bar.

I would be curious if a commercial reminding people it's flu season, or that the new COVID boosters are out would fall under this. As I don't think banning reminders without a specific drug push is in the spirit of a ban like this, but then looking at who is proposing it gives me pause. And I know that the article mentions seniors seeing vax commercials to remind them, but it doesn't 100% say if those are included or not.

Trump's sons only had to explain the possibility to launder money and bribes through crypto for him to go all in and even create his own platform he has zero understanding of. The video of him trying to pay for a burger with crypto was amazing, the 2 owner guys had to essentially take his phone and do it themselves to make sure it was done right.

I also believe there is a waiting period as well. Because I think he tried the same thing last time he was in office, but because it doesn't take effect immediately it didn't actually happen.

And according this NPR piece in 2020 it looks like the waiting period is a year, so Trump was out of office before it would have taken effect.

But the data mining is off the charts Bob! More AI! More server things! We must be ready for our robot overlords!

Stories like these make me lose all faith in men as a whole. We are just the worst. And distressing that this reminds me of the groups of dudes that have conferences all over the world where they tell each other "molestation stories" of little boys, which they say they "totally don't do". I forget their name and no way I'm going to Google it.

Wait, he was going to protect "Black jobs" from the immigrants! Who is taking their jobs and when can we deport them?! /s

Also this is going to get much worse before it ever swings back the other way. Trump and company will Project 2025 away all non-whites rights just like they promised. Also there are going to be some serious rollbacks on other protected classes coming right behind this. Ugh I hate this timeline. =(
