nutcase2690@lemmy.dbzer0.comto World News@lemmy.world•Spaniards packing water pistols blame impact of mass tourism for housing crunchEnglish4·24 days agoIIRC, Netherlands tried to limit long term airbnb in multiple cities, but the data has shown that long term rental prices still increase over time. Some cities’ airbnb regulation has actually raised rent prices due to the further limited supply.
More housing needs to be built. Granted, I haven’t looked into if there are any limits on corporate ownership of housing, regulations that make contruction more expensive, or what the percentage of communal housing cooperatives/rent-to-buy is, which could also make a difference compared to other countries.

Either way, it is fucked. Bring a cup like you’d use for football to protect your groin, and I read that skateboard helmets tend to offer more protection from the side and back of your head. I wouldn’t bring a kid if there is a chance of armed civil enforcement.

Let me ask you this. How many significant “third parties” have gotten a significant number of votes in elections, in the 250 years that this country has been sovereign?
There was Roosevelt in 1912 with the progressive party that got most of his voters after splitting from republicans (supported largely by the north at the time). The [white supremacist] American Independent party in 1968 split off from the democrat party (at that time, supported largely by the south) The Independent party in 1992 split off from the republican party, and even though they got nearly a fifth of the popular vote, they didn’t get any electoral votes.
Historically, a third party has only gotten significant traction by infiltrating and then splitting off from a major party. Why would we not want to fracture this broken democrat party into something useful? We have the opportunity, and I firmly believe that the youth (once they start voting and getting on their feet enough to stand in this sea of shit that we find ourselves in) will make that move to split and reform the party to be something better.
I can understand not wanting to vote for someone who endorses some of the things you oppose (and some things that you might even be okay with!), but I do not understand still withholding that vote when the other option is someone whose actions repeatedly endorse ALL the things you oppose, but orders of magnitude worse.
nutcase2690@lemmy.dbzer0.comtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•DNC Moves to Oust David Hogg After He Says Party Isn’t Standing Up to Trump3·2 months agoAlready in the social labor party, but the restrictions of a 527 organization seem so… broken? The political party can’t endorse any specifc candidates, pay for campaign expenses, etc. You’d need a PAC for that.
After all of those hurdles, the idea of a third party being viable across all states seem very far away, and with FPTP systems it is very unlikely that it would be able to do anything before people are put in camps for being LGBTQ+ or calling out fascists for what they are.

That is how my current C++ and cmake setup performs, so Python might have something similar.
nutcase2690@lemmy.dbzer0.comto World News@lemmy.world•‘Hands Off’ protests take off across US to oppose Trump agenda – liveEnglish3·3 months agoWe need the people who don’t go online, or orly watch corporate news networks and only use corporate social media to notice, get interested and join in. We don’t need to tell people in the echo chamber about the shit that is happening, we need to tell our neighbors, coworkers, and local politicians- to let them know that there are people who notice and want change. We won’t beat corporate funded media in their game.
Would love to share the source for the turnout estimates around, if you have it handily!
nutcase2690@lemmy.dbzer0.comto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Should I withdraw/stop putting into my 401k?2·3 months agoIf you are in a lower tax bracket now then you would be when you retire, put it into a roth. If a high bracket today then tomorrow, put it into a traditional.
I have only just heard this for the first time and it is interesting to me, what is the reasoning for this? I’ve been following the pattern of max out 401k match -> max out roth -> send extra to 401k, but I don’t really follow the intuition behind either strategy.
Just shared in another comment, instead of doing this you can also use http://playit.gg/ to create a proxy without requiring an account and also not requiring port forwarding. They lease you a domain name, too
i’ve been using http://playit.gg/ to set up a simple proxy that i can share with my friends! You just forward the port that jellyfin uses and share the link (and it works for all manner of other servers)

nutcase2690@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Idea: Rebrand Bike Lanes and Bus Lanes as Emergency Vehicle-lanesEnglish4·5 months agoIn places like the Netherlands, dual-direction bike lanes allow the smaller-built emergency vehicles to move freely. But, the Netherlands also loves to employ only a single driving lane in each direction and has opened up the median lane for public transit like busses and trams. This results in no car traffic for the public transportation, and freedom of movement for emergency vehicles. As well as reducing car dependency, because if there is one guy going slow on the road, you are stuck behind him. We would need to flip the car-centered narrative in the US to allow something like this to be implemented. Cities like Portland actually have implemented dedicated transit lanes and even overpasses for busses only, but the designs swap right back to the American ones the second you leave the “urban” part of the city. People need to be educated to see the alternative view and how it can help them. We can show source after source to educate people that bike lanes are better for their lifestyle, local businesses, safety, noise, travel times, and kids but people need to have the willingness and openness to learn. I think videos like this one are better to spread around and convince people with because you wouldn’t even think this is rush hour! But then you imagine if every single person was in a car, and you can imagine how large of an intersection ths would be, and how loud.
Followup question, if you don’t mind! What still needs to be maintained on the Win32 system on behalf of the Fedora maintainers? If everyone has moved on from 32bit, and the old stuff doesn’t change, where is the maintenance requirement? Could we not find a “final” version and leave it static, but still available in the package manager?
Is it that packaging requirements change for different systems to keep up with hardware drivers/new package managers/kernel removing deprecated features/security vulnerability patches?
