Dont be fishist man! How dare you assume his species. If he identifies as a salmon its fine, so long as he doesnt swim up my stream to spawn I’m fine with it.
The thing is Lemmy is a pretty terrible cross section of society. Theres plenty of people in inner city apartments with solid careers who are fed the fuck up with living in an overpriced shoebox when they could buy a house in the suburbs, but those are overpriced too.
The more affordable all types of housing get the more everyone benefits, more supply is the only way to counter more demand.
The more houses built the better supply gets, the better supply gets the more prices will drop. Every one of these thats built and someone in the inner city scrapes together the cash to buy in suburbia frees up an apartment.
Edit: Yes affordability is the problem, but if demand keeps outrunning supply the situation will NEVER improve. The only way landlords will start to bring their prices down is when the tenant is the one with options.
I think you’re absolutely right. Personally I see the next big switch will be to handhelds. The ability to just pick my switch up and take it wherever I’m going is the primary reason I own it. They will do the premium one with the screen and controls and the “lite” edition will need a tv.
I wouldnt be surprised if MS and Sony eventually step out of the hardware game either entirely or mostly and simply licence out a “Playstation phase # compatable” certification to others (that you need a PSN subscription to use) so you know that that Steam Deck/MSI whatever/Asus handheld will play anything from the X generation of playstation titles or older available.
During covid I used to play the horses with the father in law, I got a tip and put $100 on it, it won and I got $1500. When I tried to take my money out of my betting app into Paypal they froze my account, despite me putting $50 a week through them into the betting app apparently me receiving money back was cause to investigate me for fraud. It was literally impossible to find an Australian phone number to call someone and their helpdesk was quite clearly a chatbot. I got my money 3 months later.
And that was the last time I ever used Paypal to recieve money.
