Has any country actually _solved_ the housing crisis?
  • Don't (really) let the owners set a price, have the (min and max) price set based on objective factors such as square metres of floor and the amount of schools, shops etc. nearby, as set by the government instead of by the highest bidder.

    Mozilla's New Partnership Adds Ecosia Search Engine as an Option for Everyone
  • It's in the article; Ecosia throws money at moz://a and they put Ecosia as one of the search engines.
    This means you can click it from a list of icons under your search bar.

    No data selling nor snooping involved.

    Parking fines should be proportional to the value of the vehicle
  • Hard disagree. This implies that parking abuse is worse if you have a new car than if you have an old one, and that's just not true.

    Now, if they were a percentage of income, so that it hits everyone equally (inaptly named “day fine”), I would agree!
    But expensive cars also don't imply higher income at all!

  • Not to play the devil's advocate, but with compiled languages you can just install the language, “run” your script and it'll work, if not the language will catch undeclared variables for you, and more. With interpreted languages you need to not only install the language but also third party tools for these fairly Barovia things.

    Dogs probably think we are nuts for washing our clothes when they finally smell of us and the places we've been
  • Me as a kid thought that.

    SO and I feel the same way about each other's body and clothes odour after not too many days.
    2-3 days is the sweet spot, 1 and 4 are OK, more then 5 days is yucky again.

  • I like custom types and them being able to follow custom interfaces; it makes for great type safety that almost no other language can guarantee!

    What I'm saying is I'm learning Rust.

    Valve's plan to bring SteamOS to more devices is a promising sign if you want to stop gaming on Windows
  • I'm not sure if you're reading my messages but I'm saying I'm not sure how to do Proton outside of Lutris and Steam. And that CLI outside of a launcher sounds more convenient, but gave Lutris instructions for someone running a game not from Steam.

    Valve's plan to bring SteamOS to more devices is a promising sign if you want to stop gaming on Windows
  • For me, yes. But this is all using hands-holding Windows-like UIs, please realise that the recent-ish influx of Linux gamers understand this much, much better than terminals.

    Although, I'm not sure how to install Proton as a CLI package on Mint, for instance. apt doesn't list it, but Steam and Lutris do install it internally...
