My husband and I bought ours in 2019, and I feel like we did so in the nick of time, and that’s with being on two programs and taking an additional loan for the down payment, and that’s because paying the mortgage was lower than renting an apartment at the time.
People can’t afford housing anymore. I feel guilty even owning a house because it’s gotten so bad (even though the bank technically owns this shit).
Oh don’t worry, we’ve got a lot of them here as well. I know a lot of good people too, but everyone is stretched so thin with work and trying to survive.
Buying a house was what pushed me from Bernie flavored socialist to full on leftist. We were lucky enough to find and qualify for a community land trust and it is such a better system than anything else in America. It should just be how housing is done available to everyone, not just people who qualify.

It’s not like prices are going to rise forever. Market cycles are natural. There will be a crash, and there will be cheaper homes once again, and as long as the government is competent, random businesses won’t buy them all with the intent to rent them out to potential homeowners.
Thats a seperate issue, that is central banks and over regulation of the housing market. This has devalued your wages and made housing too expensive. And the sad part is BOTH of the parties support these things (if you are an american).
Well in China you could buy an apartment that should be built in a year but will never actually be built. That’s how you know China is better than America.
It’s packaged for my distro, but I’d like to play Nightly builds.
The game is developed for fun by a community, so I don’t want to claim that this is peak documentation or build logic for a C application, but simultaneously, there’s not many programming languages where I would have the thought to launch a different operating system just to compile…
The gophers are podman.io which builds and runs containers. My guess is they are building the same application in multiple distros for their one application
Like
my-app-nix my-app-fedora my-app-alpine
It’s a common practice so users can choose the distro they prefer when launching your container in their stack.
In this case, it’s not my program, it’s an open-source project I’m trying to compile, and I actually can’t get the program to compile on any of these distros.
I tried nix-shell at first, then I tried launching containers of Debian and Fedora, which have official build instructions, and yeah, nothing has truly worked so far.
I do have a working setup on openSUSE, but it involves half-compiling it in nix-shell and then compiling the rest with whatever magical combination of openSUSE packages I have on there. This setup also happens to be on my old laptop…
‘Capitalism is the worst from of economy, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.’ - modified Winston Churchill quote. While I know how I use the quote in my head isn’t how Churchill intended, to me it means don’t settle for something just because it’s the best option that’s currently available.
The sheer amount of ignorance required to believe this is equal parts astounding and depressing. Here’s what currently existing options to this despotic system are currently achieving worldbank.org/…/lifting-800-million-people-out-of…
Wow amazing, industrialization lifts people out of poverty… never would have realized. The problem with China is that currently, akin to the later stages of the USSR, they’re only redistributing the wealth insofar as that means reprivatizing and consolidating in new hands, not actually redistributing from the wealthy minority to the majority, but creating a new wealthy minority.
Weird how industrialization isn’t lifting people out of poverty in places like India the same way. Wonder what might be different. Maybe a smarty pants such as yourself could enlighten us. 🤔
A far right corporatocratic government that makes exactly zero effort to help the people? I’m not saying China is exclusively bad. The USSR was the only ‘country’ able to successfully play catch up with the west industrially. The problem is when the authoritarian government get old, realize they don’t own anything to secure their families’ continued lavish lifestyle, and reprivatize. I literally went to school with a guy whose grandpa was pals with Mao. Guess whose family is now worth billions and lives a lavish lifestyle in a mansion in Northern China?
I’m not trying to argue socialism is bad, just that it can’t be achieved by an authoritarian government to significant effect.
That’s where the value of democratically achieved socialism comes in, but it would have to be somewhere with an incredibly secure democracy and secure economic status, as the capitalist (elite) forces from outside and within will always work to destroy/impede socialism.

Authoritarian is a nonsensical term, every government holds authority by virtue of having the monopoly on violence, the only question is whose interests the government serves.

China already has democratic socialism. Only westerners pretend otherwise.
Ok pal slow your roll. I’m on your side and you’re right. I said what I took from his quote not what it actually means and definitely not how it’s used in pop culture. I know what it means. You can call me lazy, cause I don’t bother to really explain myself well online, but please don’t call me ignorant. You come across as looking for a fight and that doesn’t make me want to actually engage you in a serious discussion.
Yeah, probably more boring than I assumed; podman with 1 apt based distro, one rpm based distro, and Nixos. Each doing an independent build and packaging in their respective builds systems.
I was hoping for some rube Goldberg’s machine of compilation, but that’s probably not the case.
Well, first I tried compiling it on my own distro (which isn’t listed in the image). Then I tried compiling it with the help of nix-shell (that’s the NixOS logo).
Then I figured, fuck it, let’s just launch a whole container for compiling, so I tried the distros listed in the official documentation (Debian and Fedora), which, you guessed it, didn’t work either.
This is a hobby project that I’m trying to compile, so this definitely won’t be the best showing of C, but still just astronomically more painful than it should be…
I did an image search for “holy delicious orange chicken”. Nothing to my liking came up, with a few biblical off images results. Then I tried “chicken jesus”, and whamo!
