    And to add on the “the second the market opens” part - landlords can buy houses even before they are fully built and liveable which is not really an option for a person with no house because such an investment leaves you with no place to live and no money (mostly).

    I’m not saying all landlords do so but what you described happens quite often. Landlords buy a property when they already have a place to live in and then rent out said property to someone who has none. And now said someone can’t own a property because there’s none on the market as all are bought out so all what is left to do for those people is to rent. It’s an oversimplification of course and there’s a lot of nuance to it but the general message still stands - if a person with a house buys another house to rent it out then one less house remains to be bought for people with no house.











  • I just like how some drinks taste and it’s not really the tastes achievable without alcohol I think. Like there’s non alcohol beers, I can see how that’s possible (yet I don’t like beer), but I’m yet to see an alcohol-free whiskey or gin/martini. Despite I don’t have much of a hangover after a moderate amount of good whiskey/gin - the morning is still rougher than usual and me not like it -_-




  • Well, that’s probably a wrong kind of ‘open’ to what FOSS means by ‘open’ yet I’m not convinced. With the whole 'anybody can make an instance and collect all the data they wan’t it’s kind of awkward and messy. How much of the said data you can obscure/encode without losing the openness between instances?

    Because if one instance can’t verify actions of another then you have an issue dealing with bots and overall the platform becomes way more obscure and less reliable as a source of information.

    And like if the buttons themselves had an ability to openly show who upvoted/downvoted a post - how much of a difference would’ve been here? I don’t feel like it’s such a concern.

    The point about deletion/edits - it’s not about removing your info from the internet, it’s about correcting what’s wrong for the sake of providing correct. If it’s on the internet once it’s there forever. I don’t see people complaining about weyback archive doing their thing. Yet it’s doing exactly the same thing possibility of which upsets so many people here.

    If you monkey brain posted you home address and where the keys are - it’s on you, not on the internet for storing the info.

    The only real point I see here is corporations/governments scraping all this data for their use. Yet as long as they can federate there’s nothing much to do and if you try to restrict federation then it’s just a bunch of forums with extra features.
