Yes, I'm not sure how the preferred way to present content on here is yet so I gave the original URL as the link and then commented the archive link. I sometimes see people complaining that they don't see the body, so it sounds like we have to work around some crappy clients too.

If there is a preferred way of presenting this then I will update the submission.

We need to build more because this is about a Shelter piece on people having to live as families in a single hotel room rotating locations.

We aren't even at the point of private landlords being the problem and preventing people from buying, as there simply aren't enough houses for people

It's an article by Shelter.

Then you should read the article.

This is the official statistics for people living in temporary accommodation whilst waiting for a house. These are families living in single room accommodation like a hotel room.

Tax the crap out of them until they build is usually easier.

Unfortunately the solutions are opposed by both sides, as lefties are arguing points about house building not reducing costs which doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

If we build a million McMansions, they won't sell for £500k+ due to oversupply.

"Affordable housing" is just basically building more at this point, the reason you can sell ex-council houses for over £300k is because, as the article you didn't read says, 1 in 200 are homeless due to insufficient housing.

It is unfortunate that the building companies make more money by not building, than by building.

We need a progressive land/council tax. Hording land should cost you.

My favourite suggestion should be that tax levels are based upon a heat map of urban density, but also linked to area owned. It was a suggestion that came out of the US because they have problems with land hording in urban areas, spaces that are just a car park to act as a holding for land.

It would mean that ownership of inner city, undeveloped land and also owning large estates is penalised.

Unsurprising that it all shot out of control after 2010, and just more evidence that we need to build more.

It all depends on what you actually want to do.

I have a computer connected to the TV with Chimera installed because that's SteamOS 3 with emulators preconfigured and is completely couch + controller friendly.

My laptop has Fedora because it's up to date, but everything is tested before release, and all upgrade paths are automated unlike Arch which burnt me in the past with breaking changes.

On my Pi's I have Diet Pi, which is Debian but has images for each of the different ARM boards and has a bunch of scripts for setting up print servers, Home Assistant, etc. I want Debian for it's slow unchanging nature there.

On my desktop, less so.

But underneath they are all Linux, and they all behave in very similar ways, it's all about the initial setup.

Stable has nothing to do with outdated packages.

That's a personal decision by a distro.

Fedora is a stable distro because generally the packages stay on the same major version throughout the version, however they have a list of exceptions for certain applications that should be updated for security or perhaps they don't follow a major/minor/bugfix release and it's bad practice to hack together your own versions.

Fedora rebases it's packages every 6 months, so it's never left far behind.

They also don't produce usable amounts of light.

Historically neither.

Red signifies passion and anger (male traits), and pink is the softer version of red for younger boys or representing flowers for women.

13-14th century you would have both represented by both genders, and late 1800's was when it started to diverge.

Ah, but then you'll have to put up will all the folks whining about new builds, and that a waste outlet pipe wasn't connected properly, Vs a 60-70s that's still standing so must be much better, as long as we ignore the black mold in the cavity that is slowly killing us.

That doesn't make it "trash".

Most people are not accessing the internet via a Chromebook.

I was just wondering if anyone was going to provide an upgrade path for my NanoPi Neo 3.

This looks small enough to do that job!

[Edit] Checked out the specs, I don't think this is going to beat the NanoPi Neo 3 at all.

But it's good to see other folks try to make the machines tiny.

I only had bad experiences with an XPS, then I found out that the Linux model was a cut down version so that Dell didnt have to support the fingerprint reader and other gadgets.

Lenovo at the time were working with Fedora to get all their fingerprint drivers upstreamed so the choice seemed obvious.

AMD T14 Gen 2, and it's still great.

The only claim anyone has ever documented is detailed in the article.

An accusation doesn't necessarily mean they're right though. Something people get confused on often is Steam Keys, which are completely separate to Steam Store purchases. Valve do ask developers not to "give Steam customers a worse deal than Steam Key purchasers"

You can read through all the claimants key documents if you like 😉

So far no one has ever shown Valve asking for price parity with other outlets, and this doesn't appear to be any different. Just a lawyer looking for a payday.
