  • Plus you know, they're just nice to look at and good for mental well-being too!

  • A reflection of the state of the world then?

  • I mean yeah. Once other "financial assets" become more attractive (bonds at 5.5%?) maybe less parasitical activity will happen in the housing market. The whole thing started going off the rails when rates dropped to essentially nothing.

    If you think current home owners have it bad, imagine anyone trying to get in the market now. Not only are mortgages 3X the price, but the houses are 2X the price they were before. The entire thing is completely unsustainable, and yet the Feds have done fuck all. Well no, actually they have made it worse every single step of the way (see the first time home buyers savings account for the latest idiotic idea).

  • Spare some knowledge stranger? That's a dark path I don't wish to travel.

  • Honestly surprised there isn't more. There's a lot of money that would be lost if the fediverse became more mainstream.

  • Obvious a very low level study, but as someone with tinnitus any progress in their area is exciting!

  • Science @kbin.social

    Scientists discover repair process that fixes damaged hearing cells

  • Ebikes greatly increase potential riders as well as actual riders. This increases infrastructure pressure and makes biking more viable for all. Not to mention shifting more short trips to bike vs car, helping car owners see the other side etc

  • I see no way they aren't a competitor. Meta is a company. Companies exists to make money. Meta makes money by driving engagement and then monitizing via ads or user data sale for others to target ads.

    Like are we all supposed to pretend a company, Meta of all companies, is an altruistic entity? Because that's not how it works... At all.

    Remove corporations from social networks.

  • I would argue we also don't want to be in a place where we rely on any one individual. Thankfully @ernest seems to understand that as well.

  • We must go lower!

  • This would honestly improve the quality of life for so many people.

  • I know some people take issue with the whole "what there's a NEW version already?!". But I'm with you - it's great to see.

  • Do we know if there have been any releases since the influx of users? Or are they just focusing on backend stuff still?

    There's still a lot of long hanging fruit *COUGHcollapsingthreads that would be great to have addressed sooner rather than later.

  • Wait, there's an app?
