Well, the 70s was before the time of Reagan and Thatcher coming in and wrecking unions and deregulating commerce and industry.
Not really. There are “commie block” apartments across not just Russia but lots of Eastern and Central Europe that are more desirable, pleasant, and cheaper than many new developments in the US and UK.
You can also look at Red Vienna housing, another socialist urban design.
A few thousand saved up because of government programs and policies that have now largely expired isn’t gonna net you a house anywhere in the US afaik.
Ok, if you are a middle class parent with a little bit of savings, and one of your child wants to buy a house, wouldn’t you do everything you can with your money to help them too?
The point is that less and less people are in this position. Middle class parents with savings? What is this, 1985?
God, if only people could just like pool their resources together to build homes or something…
We could even call it something like “social housing,” and have it be a publically regulated service instead of treating housing as some sort of game of investment for the wealthy? No no, totally impossible…
yeah same, only like half of the videos load or play.
Exactly, and Mastodon had been kinda gunning for Twitter for years before Elon went full Elon, so they were primed for the influx. Lemmy I think expected to have years to go before it’s userbase would similarly skyrocket.
Thing is, if this continues to be a problem and if the userbase/admins of instances are organised, we can shift those priorities. They may not have envisioned this being a problem with the work they decided to work on for the next several months. Truly, the solution is to get more developers involved so that more can happen at once.
“You know, now that this asshole mentions it, maybe we shouldn’t host stuff from these piracy communities as Lemmy’s largest instance. That might create problems for us down the road.”
I’m almost certain that’s what actually went down, but I’m explicitly referring to the issue of people’s perception.
Almost all of us end up creating a home system that works for the least tech-savvy in the home.
That’s where I started, as a kid still at home in the 2010s. I used plex, I’ve been getting progressively more frustrated with it, but not sure how I’d switch to something else.
I genuinely think that the best remedy to this is to give SAG and the WGA everything they want in negotiations. It would fundamentally alter the economics of streaming if they are subject to the same sort of residuals and writer’s room requirements as traditional media.
If the media corporations have their way, they’re gonna break the strike by outlasting them until they “start losing their homes” from being out of work for so long that they’re forced to acquiesce. Then we’re gonna really get awful content as no one will be able to take any significant risks to write a weird TV pilot or make a unique movie.
I think some rural states don’t, and they even allow horses and pedestrians.
Honestly kinda legendary
Lmao this is the guy that first lead to them banning the communities right?
Love that lemmy.world seems to be making their moderation strategy based off of a troll with at least 4 alts…
I mentioned earlier or elsewhere on this thread that right now, the narrative that I’m aware of is as follows:
Lemmy.world users: just vibing, doing their thing
Concern troll: comes in with a freshly created account to pearl-clutch about scary illegal things
Lemmy.world users: hahaha look at this loser downvotes them to oblivion, resumes vibing
Lemmy.world Admins: Piracy?! OMG that’s ILLEGAL, thank goodness someone pointed this out to us
If they had an existing stance on piracy, they should have been already enforcing it. Then it wouldn’t look like they were successfully spurred into action by a bad-faith actor.
So many laws work like this too, it makes them worthless if personal wealth is required to get them enforced. If Section 230 only exists for the wealthy and corporations, the fediverse isn’t gonna get very far
If they had decided to do this a week earlier I doubt it would be this controversial.
Like, I think people are upset about blocking the piracy communities, sure, but I think that the real issue is that it feels like everyone is just vibing, doing their thing on their lemmy instances, then this troll comes in all fake concerned about breaking rules, gets utterly piled on naturally, only for the admins in question to come in and “side” with the “loser” in people’s eyes.
Hahaha epic
