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'd go with B for obvious reasons

In the end the people who ran the hegemony of cable TV just got their hands on the TV streaming services and turned it into the hegemony of TV streaming service.

Nothing have changed the goals people at the top had - they just needed time to adapt

DAO+Awakening is just a chef kiss, nothing is perfect in this world but as far as games are concerned DAO is an amazing experience.

DA2, huh, I did finish it like twice I'd say and I don't remember much. Can't say much but I guess this fact is something in itself.

DAI got a joke for a story, from the very first minutes it's just laughable. I did enjoy the crafting and fighting in DAI but even those have a fair amount of flaws (limited number of abilities cause of console support and so on)

What about flip books?

Just move to an instance that has defederated from major nsfw instances.

[-] ElmiHalt@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago

Well, you can create an account on an instance that's defederated from nsfw instances and doesn't allow nsfw communities inside. For example I've seen almost no porn in my 'all' feed and had to block like one community from some big instance.

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.

Well, if you can smell something for days and stay alive then the smell becomes neutral (as in the source doesn't actively tries to kill you)

You sure you've seen thr Latin alphabet? Maybe you've mixed it up with Greek? I'm not trying to be mean or anything, I'm just really confused... the pronunciation is certainly different but the characters are mostly same
