Considering how crazy expensive accommodations have become the last couple of years, concentrated in the hands of greedy corporations, landlords and how little politicians seem to care about this problem, do you think we will ever experience a real estate market crash that would bring those exorbitant prices back to Earth?
Check Germany, only 49.5% own their houses and the situation is getting steadily worse.
It is getting ridiculously expensive and the majority of the people cannot afford getting a mortgage. In Munich the average sq.m. is between 8 and 15K while the average salary is 3K and the rent for 70sq.m. flat is 1.500€.
You do realize that there are other ways to invest, bonds, shares, ETFs, etc.
In my opinion if you earn average or above average for the city you live in you should be able to afford a roof over your head easily which is not anymore the case for a lot of places.
People are spending a considerable amount of their pay on just putting a roof over their heads, be it a rent or a mortgage payment. Plus in the last decades we have had a much bigger GDP per capita increase than salary increase, in fact salaries are hardly keeping up with the official inflation.
Greedy corporations are promoting the subscription culture, meaning that people have even less disposable income.
The point is that politics are currently serving the interests of multi billion dollar corporations and there is no political will to change the status quo.
After discovering Tomb, and a few personal issues with it, I decided to write a very similar program that doesn’t require root access and compiles to a single binary: Graveyard....
I have activated passkeys on my Google account and now I cannot use them to login on my laptop running Arch Linux, assuming that both my phone and laptop are connected to the same ESSID. It just says place your phone close to your computer but nothing happens.
So I’ve been using Linux now for a while, and am looking to migrate my dev environment to vim and spend more time in the command line. I’m fairly comfortable with bash but by no means an expert. I’ve used zsh with some minor customization but just recently learned about fish. I’d love to hear people’s opinions.
Something like this and keep in mind that pretty much everything can be found second hand for a lot lower price and I don’t see a reason why not buy it second hand. Only buy the SSD and the PSU new. And this is just an exemplary build, no need to buy everything. Personally I would go with a 1440p monitor anytime.
In the end the new GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card ended out just slightly above the Radeon RX 7600 in terms of overall performance. The Radeon RX 6000/7000 series on their open-source Linux GPU driver stack continue to perform very competitively with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30/40 series and their respective proprietary driver...
Isn’t it normal to have between 15-20km/KWh, that’s 4-5 times less efficient. Our car obsession is showing how wasteful we are.
Not to mention that if this tank goes into an accident, the force experienced by the passengers in the other car would be a couple of times higher compared to the force experienced in the passengers of the IQ, practically making this a road kill machine.
Try Dinkum, it’s like a mixture between Animal’s crossing and Srardew Valley and a very chill and relaxed game. There are a bunch of levels for pretty much every one of your skills and it takes a while to progress into the game.
Been using SearXNG for about a year now, and I just can’t deal with instances constantly getting blocked by search engines anymore. So I’d like to find something a bit more reliable. I’ve read that DuckDuckGo has had some controversies in the past, and I wouldn’t touch Brave with a 39 and a half foot pole.
Why don’t you migrate to cheaper providers like Hetzner? I mean AWS is extremely expensive for what they are and I am pretty sure there are hundreds of people out here who will willingly help you set it up.
And still 220K sounds awfully affordable. Here where I live 80-90sq.m. flats cost 1M and the average salary is 3K and the average 3 room flat rent 1.5-1.7K
Was there even a mass exodus? I largely avoid Reddit now, but I do kind of doubt that they’ve been hurt in any meaningful way by all the protests and people leaving…
Long ago I posted on Reddit that publicly traded companies are the plague for our society as they are pushing to the eternal growth at the expense of their users.
I do agree that privately held companies are also looking for profit but the difference is that they are not subject to the immense pressure to exponentially grow.
And now the Reddit IPO comes to prove just that. I am fairly confident that if not for this IPO Reddit wouldn’t try so hard to push those changes and would still thrive.
But at the end of the day, I am happy that it helped me to discover Lemmy and this debacle is why I am here and not there.

Do you think we will ever have affordable housing again in our lifetime?
