I think you can add https://lemmyverse.link/ before the shared url without http

is an example. I saw div0 using this, seems handy! Doesn't quite work with voyager, though unfortunately

I was worried about this and had to check, the executive order text has a section which states it only applies to those born 30 days after the signing of the EO. Who knows what the fuck the supreme court will extrapolate that to, though.

If housing isn't an economy at all, I can understand how you came to that viewpoint in your original comment. But, I feel that as a usual internet comment, it was exaggerrating and envisioning an ideal world.

We aren't living in one of those. When I read that comment I understood it as basic housing not being an economy, and luxury housing still being purchasable-- which is much more realistic. And so I wanted to give a bunch of examples in the ways that it is feasible to create basic housing even in our capitalist system today.

I mean, hopefully in the future we can get to a post-scarcity economy where not only is the housing provided for free but it is also exactly what we want. That day won't be for a long time, though..

I think there is a different take here. The government needs to subsidize large scale housing development with a focus on housing cooperatives (people owned apartment complexes, not profit-driven company owned), and change laws so that people don't have to live so far away from where they work.

You can buy your house and plot of land, but we need more places for people to get out of the street in general, and ways to put people in places where they can contribute to a city's economy. The government can also do things like reduce minimum parking requirements within a city so that apartment builders don't need to subsidize car infrastructure out of pocket. This would have the side benefit of people walking or biking to work more, which can help out local businesses in a city.

The benefit is that if there are more affordable housing options available, that gives people the freedom to switch jobs or take a leave from their job to care for their loved ones when they fall ill. The stability that is provided by having a home is so important to being able to integrate into society.

edit: adding some links for sources on housing cooperative effects on housing costs and the cost of parking requirements on new developments.

My first projects were super janky gui stuff that was ported over from Java (very similar syntax, but connected with the visual studio built-in gui editor) and improved to a proper "c#" style using resharper (a jetbrains tool that boosts the capabilities of visual studio) Nowadays you can get a free version of Rider that will include those style tools, so I'd recommend that. But if you use Visual Studio, you can create a Winforms project which can let you drag components to make UI and easily assign code to events. If you are used to raw HTML webpage creation, you might be able to get away with using something like WPF or (cross platform) Avalonia to make a UI, but these are a bit more intense since they use something called the Model-View-Viewmodel framework. It needs you to know how to 'bind' variables to events using the observable class, which can be tricky the first few times you use it. I'd look into picking a simple project where you can learn how to use classes effectively (C# is based around Object Oriented Programming much more than bash and self-taught Python would cover). Also would recommend following some of the very simple Unity tutorials to get a handle on the syntax, such as the Unity-made Roll-a-Ball tutorials. These tutorials show the concepts for class-based design and overriding functions.

Have you tried out any romhacks? the ones coming out recently are great! launchers like parallel launcher integrate with websites like https://romhacking.com/ Whole new experience of the game with new moves and scenery.

what alternatives are you using for maps? maps and flights are just about the only things i use now

The team for black mesa is working on Black Mesa Blue Shift, where you play out half life 1 through the eyes of Barney! I have been meaning to go through the latest chapter that was released. It is on the steam workshop for black mesa.

I have been trying to figure out how to combat this bullshit argument succinctly. So far I am at this:

If you vote for a person, it tips the ratio of votes they recieve (which is the only important thing in our system) in their favor. If you vote third party, not only does the ratio of votes between the two forerunners not change, but you completely throw away your representation.

The way the system is set up right now means that only half of the voting population is even represented by the elected person.

Cards against Humanity is using a referral code to force elon to pay into their new dem super pac! it only applies in certain states, though.

from https://www.apologize.lol

Is there some way I can force Elon Musk to pay $47 to Cards Against Humanity PAC?

Funny you should ask! If you’re a registered voter in PA, GA, NV, AZ, NC, WI, or MI, just type your name into this dumb website for his PAC, put “[email protected]” as your referrer, and they'll be legally obligated to pay us $47.

if you could get used to it, thumbkey has this feature.

It isn't all social media, but you can use grayjay to combine youtube, twitch, patreon, nebula, etc other video streaming sites!
