Well said, while I think there a probably caveats (that I don’t have the energy to debate since I mostly agree with you anyway) to each of your solutions, it’s definitely a good starting place to address the underlying issues with the housing market for single family homes
Giving first time home buyer’s assistance just juices demand which would just lead to further increased housing prices.
The supply side is what needs to be addressed, that’s a lot harder though as builders would prefer to build luxury housing as opposed to starter homes.
If a company could pay $5 a customer for a competitive edge in customer satisfaction over their competitors, they would. Either they are getting way more than that or there is some cartel/monopoly action going on in the market. Maybe they are playing the long game to introduce an ad free model at a premium.
Still don’t see how nobody is undercutting existing players with ad free, smart tvs.
From what I can see, people will downvote shitposts even if they agree with it. But the downvote is used as the disagree button the majority of the time.
I will upvote any comment that seems to be made in good faith but I don’t have any illusions of that being how the majority of the network uses their votes. I think a higher percentage of people use their vote that way compared to Reddit but not much to make a difference.
That’s why I suggested hiding votes entirely. I think that would be unpopular because people like the dopamine hit of seeing your comment score go up, and so my compromise was to only hide 0 or negative scores.
It’s more of a vibe check than a fact check. But I think it’s definitely useful for the network to self moderate since mods are pretty much entirely voluntary on Lemmy.
I’m of the opinion that downvotes are useful for self moderation of troll/off-topic comments or posts.
People also use it as a disagree button. That use doesn’t bother me personally but I see a lot of users get upset about having a negative score on a comment.
I think the best method is to keep the votes and either hide the score total or to not visibly show any score that’s less than 1
I’ve already seen admins go through the federated votes on their instance to call out anyone who disagrees with them.
I don’t have a strong opinion either way but I don’t think it will be healthy for discourse to unlock that power for everyone
Buy a gun and then go to the police
I don’t recommend it, but going bass-to-mouth was a very popular and hyped feature addition for SEGA Bass Fishing. I’m surprised this is the first you are hearing of it
Actually RDR2 came out nearly 6 years ago.
I feel sorry for the goobers who bought this game before the mod was released. Sad thing is that activision could do this themselves but then they couldn’t gouge gen Zers with micro transactions so they won’t
Lemmy.world nor any other instance on the fedi can remove content on another instance without the consent of federation, even then those actions can be undone by the site admin.
.world defederating from you doesn’t mean censorship. People disagreeing with your opinion and opting not to see it is not censorship.
When we were young and first married, my wife and I decided to try a church that we had saw online. The website and name made it seem like it would be alright and more modern thinking. We were wrong.
We pull up and the church building is a double wide trailer, a congregation of about 30 people. The preacher appears to be in his 70s.
He sees that he has guests and singles us out and puts us on the spot to introduce ourselves to whole congregation. He never refers to my wife by her name instead just calling her “Wife”. He prays for us multiple times during the service and bring us up during the sermon. (Still just referring to us as TORFdot0 and wife)
Speaking of the sermon, he begins the sermon talking about the gay democrat agenda and how the gays are ruining God’s institution of marriage and how it will soon be illegal to be married to a woman. This gets an audible sigh from the ladies in the front row.
He also preached to cherish our Bible before the black socialist devil in the white house takes them from us.
He compared the Bible to an old hound dog and started barking for going on two minutes. It’s like a dog because it warns us of things to come.
After what seems like an eternity of a sermon, he invites the kids up to the alter for some “Hallelujah” Candy (it’s the Sunday before Halloween). One child takes a second handful of candy and the elderly pastor chastises him and then bends him over his knee and starts spanking him in front of the congregation.
Needless to say we did not give that church a second visit.
The bear thing was rage bait to spread hate. Hate against men, reactionary hate against women, presumably hate against bears.
People shouldn’t have dignified the ridiculous scenario with a response.
I am replacing a 2013 MB Air, I will probably be getting an M3 iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard because we don’t currently have an iPad for mom and dad (we have one for the kids but it’s signed in to their account and full of games and videos and has strict screen time controls on it)
One thing to consider is that if you do feel like you need MacOS but really want to go with the iPad, you can always Remote Desktop to the Mac Mini if you needed.
There always needs to be a balance of security and convenience. If you make security to cumbersome then end users are just as likely to go without. I think another distinction is that privacy != security and security != privacy although they do go hand in hand.
Some examples would be disabling all iCloud services. That seems rather cumbersome for limited benefit. It will reduce your attack surface to just your single device but also introduces a single point of failure and may result in less secure methods to make data available and result in insecure or unreliable backups like backing data up to an unencrypted single drive.
I do recommend advanced data protection like he says.
Disabling the Find My network does increase privacy from shoulder surfers and people who may physically compromise the device but most people are OK with that to be able to easily find their items and know where their loved ones are.
Disabling Face ID is another thing that would protect you from physical compromise (someone can’t hold you down and force you to scan your face) but over all I would rather require a long alphanumeric+symbol passcode rather than disable Face ID. You have a much more higher risk of someone watching over your shoulder for a 6 digit passcode than you do someone kidnapping you and having free access to scan your face.
Other things are out of date, such as iCloud supporting S/MIME by default and encrypting mail at rest.
Overall I would take the advice with a grain of salt as most settings are a good idea to disable but others are a bit overzealous and without much thought in my opinion.
Try obtaining a Time Machine so that you can experience the menu from when it was good.
The Grilled Stuft Burrito, Grilled Stuft Nacho, the volcano burrito and lava sauce, the 1/2 lb cheesy potato burrito, the enchirito, the loaded grillers, the double layer taco, the chilito.
So many good menu items lost to time
