i believe this is called “task failed successfully”

man, that sucks. i wish you good luck :D

in austria, but it was some conservative rural backwater nowhere

With an apartment […] you dont own shit.

What if you buy it? You can buy apartments, you know.

I guarantee 99% of people would want a house on 2 acres thats a 30 minute drive to town than an apartment.

I think that owning a house is also a lot of work, because you’re responsible for everything yourself, including construction and maintenance, and i don’t like that. There’s a proverb: You build the first house for your enemy, the second house for your friend, and the third one for yourself. It says that when you’re young and inexperienced, you don’t know what to look out for when you build a house. So you might build rooms without proper ventilation, and that makes mold grow. You might build the garage in the wrong dimensions, because you don’t know better. You might mess up the room layout or their sizes. When you buy an apartment built by the city, you can have a reasonable expectation that they’ve built 10000 apartment units before and know what they’re doing. With private construction companies, i’m reasonably worried about being ripped off or fucked with. I trust public housing much more than private construction companies.

On top of that if i live in the city, i don’t even need a garage, nor a car. It’s all very efficient and compact.

vienna social housing is beautiful (a lot of the times at least). source: i live there

commercial ads in public spaces should be banned. they are an eye-sore. source: personal experience

and only use that property for money laundering.

I’ve always suspected that ultra-expensive apartments in London might be mostly for money laundering. Like, i give you a ton of cocaine, and i don’t give you money for that; Instead, i buy one of your luxury apartments in London for $150m (70 m² apartment btw).

and housing would be free

somebody still has to build them, so somebody would still have to work for them.

i think, however, the amount of hours worked that are needed to build a house might be drastically reduced if they had more uniformous form. However, whether people actually like that is a difficult question, because people are so different.

Most of the pictures of them are cherry picked to be the unmaintained, dirty ones, and are exclusively taken in gloomy weather.

Look at the trees. They don’t have leaves. The image was definitely taken in winter. That adds a lot to the depression of it.

There’s density that lets kids make tons of friends and always have someone to play with without “playdates.”

man, that’s what i missed as a kid sooo much. i would have needed this.

i think the things on the green bench might be anti-handholding or anti-cuddling things instead. you know, to aid against the display of lewd activity in public (/s)

right wing architecture: jail

will offer users their choice […] “We’re not incentivized to push one model or the other,” he says. “So we’re going to try to go to market with multiple models.”

it could be worse

where do you even get the content from?

i’ve always found mastodon unintuitive, mostly because older versions used to not have a “local” feed, only a global feed,

and i think a charm of the fediverse is to have local instances, like for specific topics. and they added that local feed recently, which i like

better on the can than on the can’t

u know what? maybe we should start actively advertising the fediverse in local hacker clubs and such.
