With the absurd increases of rent globally, record profits for landlords, and massive amount of empty properties have these laws worked?

If properties are seen as an investment, as they currently are, they must always increase in value at a greater rate than inflation. This means that, in order for investment properties to work, housing must always become more expensive. This increases rent and makes buying a home more impossible yearly. If they lower in price, then the investment fails. The cost of making housing accessible is the economy.

The issue isn't simply increasing rent arbitrarily this is a marathon. They'll raise rent at a higher rate than workers accrue money as they currently are. This makes housing unaffordable. UBI is a band-aid solution that doesn't fix the root issue.

Even Adam Smith agreed landlordship was a poor idea in a capitalist market. Renters should accrue equity, or housing should become public.

Yeah, I agree, we should abolish landlords

Mastadon had a similar issue before the blowup. It's not possible to stop in a completely open source and federated service. By design, anybody can join in, and create a new instance to do with as they please

If you want to make it better we need more servers that block this trash, and who have larger user-bases than the current ones. Create quality content on reasonable instances, advertise these sites, and bring other creators in

I love the tiny coconut balls of pain. What a beautiful child

Even then, by my understanding, that was mostly for the port and bug fixes. CA was very reluctant to give any control and did all art, musical, feature, and overall directional development himself.

I'd argue it was a recipe for burnout and generally a bad idea but this is what I remember from when I obsessively read his update blogs back then

I was in that situation a while ago, so I booted in to try and keep it up to date. Well, in reality I booted into recovery mode as it decided to die. Anyway I'm now duel booting arch and tumbleweed

If you think tipping, a current necessity to ensure proper pay, is not something you should be doing why don't you stop using food services which expect tipping?

They won't stop underpaying because you don't tip they'll just blame the worker. The one who can't quit, because there's not alot of work around, and they need food for survival

That they are, good catch my friend!

69 percent of overworked, underpayed employees stop giving the corporation all their energy days before their boss finally recognizes their inherent value, gives them a raise, and the respect they deserve. It's sad ain't it?

Going to weigh in, manjaro devs are kinda incompetent. They've ddosed the aur twice in the exact same way, showing that they hadn't done anything to solve the inherent issue. Their ssl certs keep expiring, even though auto-renewal takes about ten minutes to set up while telling their users to "change your clocks time" as a patch solution while they fix their certs once (which took hours).

Their head arm developer sent a patch to asahi linux which broke x-org, showing he shipped code without so much as running the thing to test making a change well known and documented to cause this error with zero benefit to the project or his commit. This, after manjaro claimed that "manjaro works on the macbook m1" by using the asahi kernal with a full on campaign, shipping a random kernel from the release page which was known to be broken. It would not turn on, and could easily have broken users systems. Asahi at the time simply did not work, nor would it for a while.

They keep making dumb mistakes learning nothing and not asking for help when it's obviously needed. Their two week delay, though it fixes some issues, commonly still ships known broken updates when unnecessary.

They put the aur directly next to flatpack and snap in pamac without a proper warning. The aur is dangerous, you need to know how to use it, and to read the pkgbuild. Anybody can put any app up there and you'll be running arbitrary code on the system. Flatpack and snaps are quite safe, the aur is not. A while ago, a guy put a list of people who can "fuck themselves", insults, and homophobic statements alongside two calls to a IP grabber in the dolphin emulator package. When there's malware on linux, the aur is likely to be the first targeted

They've made many suggestions in their forums that lead to bad habits, putting more stress on arch devs and their servers.

It's due to the continual incompetence of the devs, them damaging other projects they depend on, and the devs being quite unfriendly in the forums that people hate manjaro. I'd love to see it become better as the concept is a decent one but with the current leadership and work being done I have to caution against it's use

Aye

0.69% (nice) on windows 7 64bit. That's 0.75% total or 0.91% including windows 8 which is also dying. This is slightly under half of the linux user base according to these statistics

What you are referring to is actually gnuwu plus linussy

Just pirate better shipping times 5 head

That they are, spikes and all. Interestingly though the spikes are soft and blunt when born but quickly harden a bit after birth so the mother isn't birthing a ball of nails, more like a ball covered in gummy works that then stiffen, harden, and sharpen after birth

I know it's so strange! I'd feel bad for the mother if I didn't know they were built for that, and the quills were soft for the first few hours before they harden and sharpen.

Hedgehogs are fantastic

You should delete the contents of the cache folder instead of the folder itself as sadly some apps will break pretty spectacularly if they can't find the folder itself. Otherwise you're entirely correct
