These picture look like a bunch of unsettled space Mormons.

Would CIRAS's anycast DNS be useful here?

Health Freedom means the freedom to live without being forced to breath oxygen. /s

I used this in an actual argument to shut up an anti-vaxxer.

Which works out here because it's literally 03-03.

But ISO-8601 is an international standard, by the International Standards Organization, to remove this very confusion.

Its like the SI / metric system.

Use ISO-8601 date format: YYYY-MM-DD (Its way better!)

LOL. Third from last is LNG (ie. Liberal + NDP + Greens). I don't think such a coalition would be pro LNG (liquefied natural gas).

I really like the play on words GNU did with Mozzarella.

Thank you for the links!

I've used flatpaks. I've never used snaps (I don't want to support proprietary Canonical stuff). I prefer getting stuff from the Debian repo.

I get that. It's just your comment made me realize I should self host my sync server.

Yes. That was the first things I learned very quickly.

It's not a bad thing.

It's that I'd prefer if it was in the Debian repos. There's an advantage to having all your packages come from one tested and trusted source. There are of course downsides to this approach namely, this kind of situation where there's something new but not in the main repos.

Yes. This is it. I want, as much as possible, to use packages from the main Debian repos.

Thank you.

I see that I have to add an extra repo for Debian. That's my only hesitation towards it atm.

I need to run my own sync server.

Didn't consider Waterfox. Will look into it.

I was leaning towards GNU IceCat because of it being backed by Debian.

Thank you for the comment.

It seems difficult to get extensions onto IceCat it seems. I guess I'd have to update them myself as well.

I use Distraction Free YouTube because I run into errors when using FreeTube. I use Distraction Free YouTube to see the description. I use MPV to view the video.

I remember reading about the possibility of this in a middle school prep book a couple decades ago. Its amazing that it's finally real.

It's both.

If you just look at supply and demand graphs.

Where S is supply, D is demand, N is number of people, I is number of investors, and P is price you'd have:

1. S[=N+0]=D[=N+0], P-
2. S[=N+0]<D[=N+I], P▲
3. S[<N+0]<D[=N+0], P▲
4. S[<N+0]<D[=N+I], P▲
5. S[>N+0]>D[=N+0], P▼
6. S[<N+I]<D[=N+I], P▲
7. S[>N+0]>D[=N+0], P▼
8. S[>N+I]>D[=N+I], P▼

It is not an analogy. That's just math.

I'd like you to show the math as to what the ratio and relation between landlords and renters are.

I'll wait.

Some more scenarios:

If there are more houses than people, then investors would loose money and housing won't be a good "investment".

If there are fewer houses than people, then the same situation would unfold now just there would be homeless people.

I'd like to see this demonstrated as false.

Also this fits perfectly fits within supply demand curves.

If you have people who want to own homes + an investment property, you'd've increased demand compared to everyone just wanting one home. D*2 > D. Hence the mere act of desiring investment properties and acting on that desire causes prices to increase. Prices only decreases when supply increases. As S ▲, then prices fall, P ▼. However the set amount of humans stay the same. So the following scenarios are possible: [N+0], Everyone wants one home [N+I], At least one person wants an investment property

1. S[=N+0]=D[=N+0], P-
2. S[=N+0]<D[=N+I], P▲
3. S[<N+0]<D[=N+0], P▲
4. S[<N+0]<D[=N+I], P▲
5. S[>N+0]>D[=N+0], P▼
6. S[<N+I]<D[=N+I], P▲
7. S[>N+0]>D[=N+0], P▼
8. S[>N+I]>D[=N+I], P▼

There are two solutions.

1. Housing Cooperatives: https://chfcanada.coop/about-co-op-housing/
2. Community Land Trusts: https://www.communityland.ca/

Both provide people the ability to have homes without direct ownership nor dealing with the hassle of ownership nor the uncertainty of renting.

It has the benefits of owning. Control over rent prices, ability of modifying living space (including putting up pictures) and benefits of renting (allowing easy relocation, delegate maintenance responsibility).

Housing cooperatives and CLTs have the benefits of both without the drawbacks of either. It also treats housing as a human right as opposed to an "investment".

There are housing cooperatives for students, the most temporary population and the least wanting to maintain a property.

You can be a part of this movement too by donating or investing in such projects. I urge you to do so.

They work, and work well. There just needs be mass injection of funds into them.
