Build. Social. Housing.

Its not a difficult concept. The “market” is not going to build anything that lowers the price. The market is not going to build anything fast enough. The market is absolutely not going to give a flying fuck about building to create communities.

I knew there was a link between cell phones and cancer!!

Nurgle ,

…yeah that’s kind of the literal point

Nurgle ,

Rent as a percentage of income. General rule (and what I’m assuming the article is using without getting around the paywall) is 1/3 of your income should be rent. So if the avg rent in 2019 was $1666 and it’s now $2000 you should be making $80k/year instead of $60K.

Nurgle ,

Sorry Apple is selling user data to data brokers now?

Nurgle ,

Yeah I was curious about Apple selling data to brokers, which I think would be new news. For Meta yeah that was the ios14 update, which really messed with their bottom line apparently lol

Nurgle ,

Mnuchin (fmr Trump Treasury Sec) is already setting up a group to try and buy it apparently.

When was the last time you answered a Lemmy or Reddit post/thread that was more than five months old?

I think there should be some incentive for that, like make those kinds of comments a spotlight or something. Maybe make a community called “late replies” that showcases the best such replies, or have a rule saying they grant free karma (in Reddit’s case).

Nurgle ,

Wait the save button can remind you on Lemmy? Is this on the desktop? I don’t see an option on the Voyager app at least.

Nurgle ,

How’s HA compare to Hubitat? I like the offlineness of hub, but I’m not a programmer and setting a lot of stuff up often feels like a chore.

Nurgle ,

Just make sure to shutdown lock your phone before dealing with the cops, but also make sure to record your interaction with the cops cause they can and will lie. 🤷‍♂️

Americans Have Never Been So Far Behind on Their Credit Card Bills … since the Philadelphia Fed started tracking this data in 2012

Nurgle ,

That plus they also have comparatively shorter lifespans.

Cause smoking formaldehyde gets you high. Take it you’ve never heard of wet, but people will dip cigs or joints in it and smoke them. Wasnt uncommon back in the day that shitty weed would be laced with it.

Also kush is not referring to the weed strain here.

Nurgle ,

Net neutrality really wouldn’t stop this, just make them reword the limit.

Nurgle ,

Sorry how would net neutrality do anything but make them reword the policy??

Nurgle ,

Right… they can still impose data caps. They’ll just do the cap at the plan level, like most already do. OPs just on a cheap plan.

Who’s Behind All the ‘Pussy in Bio’ on X? (nymag.com)

Spam is hard. No real platform has solved it completely, and none ever will. Spammers evolve, platforms catch up, spammers evolve again, and so on until the last post is posted and the last user signs out. Individual spam tactics, however, do tend to have short lives, and while PIB won’t be with us forever, it’s notable that...

More like horny_insight!

…I’ll see myself out.

Nurgle ,

No one can take my flacs either. 🐷🧇

Nurgle ,

Headline and quoted blurb do seem to omit the fact that NY will be tapping into Canadian hydro in 2027 as well as some wind projects.

Nurgle ,

Damn if only there was some sort of news article that would have given immediate context to who Jose is, would have saved you from looking like a goon.

Nurgle OP ,

Add a zero to that, no way tiktok would sell for anything less than several billion. Facebook paid $1B for Insta over 12 years when the app had around 25 million users.

Nurgle ,

I’d defend myself, but I work in digital marketing so I’m not going to dissuade anyone from using AdWords… I mean Android.

Nurgle ,

Some of us see drug use as a health issue and not a moral imperative. Money is fungible, so if they’re using welfare dollars to buy drugs instead of smashing car windows to get their fix, that’s probably a net positive even if it isn’t ideal.

And if you’re just trying to get more people into treatment, I’m not sure piss testing the poor is remotely the most cost effective approach.

Nurgle ,

“Giving people a free rein”

Again addiction isn’t a moral failing and pushing people out of the system is not going to solve a surge in fent deaths. Sure there’s a very realistic chance you’ll lower the ODs in SF as you push people into other towns and cities, but you’re not saving lives just leaving the problem on someone else’s doorstep.

There’s not a silver bullet for this addiction issue, but depriving people of any semblance of economic security is going to be counter productive.

Nurgle ,

No… use the resources that you’d waste on testing for actual proven tactics. And not to sound cold hearted, but it’s a lot more effective to prevent addiction than to “cure” it. All of which is ignoring that you’re going to waste a lot of money on lawyers as this has been struck down several time’s now.

I do strongly agree this is a state and federal issue as cities are shouldering the overwhelming majority of the burden. They are being forced to deal with the symptom (drugs/crime), but have virtually no means of addressing the root causes of a problem that usually start somewhere else.

Nurgle ,

Tire runoff is nasty. There’s recently been salmon die off in the NW from a preservative chemical in tires.

Nurgle ,

A Reddit user is $2 now, but they have terrible ad targeting. Reddit users volunteer troves of info about themselves, so even a modest effort to start tying all those user signals together could be a great boost to that number (which really wouldn’t take much). Plus monetizing that base for LLM data and you got a stew going. They’ll of course do the cash grabby enshitifying stuff too, but their user data is much more underutilized than facebooks at the moment.

China wants to rid itself of Western tech by 2027 -- outlines domestic alternatives in 'Document 79' (www.tomshardware.com)

The WSJ reports that China is on an extensive push to drive out Western tech companies from the country and replace them with domestic alternatives. China reportedly started its domestic expansion in 2022 with a highly secretive “Document 79,” an initiative focused on deleting Western tech companies from the country. Since...

Nurgle ,

Stock buy backs it is!

Nurgle ,

I hate to break it to you my not-so-tech-savvy friend, but boomers on tiktok is not going to destroy tiktok like it did Facebook. The algo will basically only show their content to other boomers and young people will largely be unaware of it.

Nurgle ,

Again, Facebook and TikTok operate differently. One is a social network, the other is a short form video platform. A social network is inherently dependent on its users. Did YouTube die when it became widely adopted??

Nurgle ,

lol. I can’t tell if you just don’t know any young people or if it’s that you don’t know the difference between a social network and a short term video app. (Or you’re just mad cause tiktok = bad.)

Nurgle ,

It’s not splitting hairs, it’s a fundamental difference. My mother and my niece are friends on Facebook but they don’t follow each other on TikTok. Hell most people who are close friends IRL don’t even follow each other on TikTok. There’s no brand cache for old people to ruin its just a tool.

Sure kids will move on to something new eventually, but it’s waaaay more likely to be cause all the ‘eligible for commission’ videos make it feel like the Home Shopping Channel not cause old people (continue to) use it.

Nurgle ,

You see it a lot on in the comment sections of local newspapers or the city specific subs on Reddit.

Nurgle ,

So long as your perspective isn’t on the other side of these whales, than yes.

Nurgle ,

I feel like the sports communities are lacking critical mass and for some reason I just don’t see content from some of the small communities (specifically magic the gathering for me) pop up on my feed. Like it’d be nice the algo pushed them more since I am subbed and want to participate.

Nurgle ,

Hmmm yeah that seems to do the trick. mtg isn’t that active but I see some other the other niche coms when I sort that way.

Nurgle ,

That worked! Thanks for the tip.

Nurgle ,

Yeaaaah you’re probably getting into it cause your points don’t really have much merit and that can be frustrating. Like a simple look at when the obesity epidemic took off should have saved me from having to write this comment.

Nurgle ,

That’s great and I applaud you, seriously. But we mercilessly bullied fat people in the 80s, 90s, 00s and yet obesity skyrocketed. And you should probably consider what health (note not healthy) at every weight (HAES) actually is before dismissing it. Like we should encourage people to be healthy even if they’re overweight. This is like addiction, we’re not going to moral police our way out of this health issue.

Nurgle ,

I think the concern is pathogens from the meat.

Apple (slrpnk.net)

I don’t care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the “blue vs green bubble” drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure...

Nurgle ,

Its looking more like y’all’s personality is based on the fact other people have iPhones.

Nurgle ,

It’s amazing how many subreddits fell victim to the satire to unironic hate club lifecycle. And that video was great. Especially the part at the end about how groups make their own totem/straw men to keep the anger up.

Nurgle ,

Okay we can start mobbing every random android thread and start calling you all sheeple?

Nurgle ,

I’m not 14, I’m not going to call you sheeple or presume to know why you picked out your phone.

Nurgle ,

I don’t… I inferred I could mimic the android users behavior like OPs seen in most threads.

Nurgle ,

What no? I’m saying if OP wants iphone uses to act like android users we can start going into threads that have nothing to do with iPhone and stir up shit for no reason.
