Just a smol with big opinions about AFVs and data science. The onlyfans link is a rickroll.

  • It's a joke about conservative media coverage - Hunter Biden was never VIP, but the news covered his (incredibly boring) drama like he was a sitting member of the government and presented like he had some kind of terrible influence.

  • No US troops were directly deployed, but the US did provide materiel to the French troops in Syria during Règlement Organique, it was part of the reason the French supported the North during the civil war. So lincoln sold bombs that were used in middle east (not bomb bombs but... you know what I mean) even if he wasn't directly bombing them.

  • (I don't want to come across like I'm nitpicking because no, to be clear I'm genuinely interested in this.)

    That many communities are hostile to the devs shouldn't be surprising, because unfortunately the lemmy devs are openly bigoted and most communities don't like that. And that's ignoring how Des is also a genocide denier and dismisses the human rights abuses of china while championing authoritarians (ex: their profile banner is currently an image of Mao), things many communities explicitly do not allow.

    Without knowing which user you're referring to I can't speak to the scope of what they're doing, but a single user isn't exactly evidence of hate groups or hate communities specifically set up to target the lemmy devs. That's just reprehensible people being criticized, and then one potentially freak user taking it beyond what is reasonable.

  • Can you tell me generally big examples of places where this has happened and things have gotten better?

    That's a really specific request, but sure: Vancouver empty home tax, California Tenant Rent Cap.

    Are you sure this is flat-area and doesn’t need to get multiplied by number of flats per building?

    As far as I can tell this number is accurate, again if you can find a better (or more clear) source than what's given on wikipedia I welcome it since this is a composite number pulled from housing reports originally written in a language in which I am functionally illiterate (and can only barely speak) so I'm relying heavily on the translations since I cannot go and find the primary sources.

  • What makes you think reformism is a more likely scenario?

    The many recent examples of mucipalities and states passing regulatory policies to improve rent under capitalism are the primary one I'm using here. People are doing things to address housing,

    Maybe you’re not counting Brezhnevki

    I'm not, no - nor stalinkas (not that those were all that prolific comparably though). It's a limited measurement, obviously USSR social housing policies do not compare to the US, but the initial suggestion was specifically about rapidly-constructed slab concrete buildings and nothing typifies that better than a Khrushchevka. If you have a better source I'd love to see it, I approximated that off the average apartment size of 46m and the total constructed of 2,900,000,000 sq m, which is the best approximation I could get from the wikipedia sources and I may well be missing some reports.

  • I think at a certain point this line of reasoning devolves into "the US should become communist" and while yes that would be a solution it's not exactly a practically achievable one in the short term.

    However, the US already already sort does this - there were ~6 million total subsidized housing units in the US as of last year, and roughly 7 million total Khrushchevka apartments built across the USSR. The US is behind the soviet statistics here, having a higher population and lower subsidized housing count than the USSR at it's peak (and should absolutely be doing better to be clear), but it's not like this is a completely neglected concept - and there are real, practical barriers to implementing a similar policy of mass construction: the US largely already being urbanized and building modern codes being the two biggest (look into the state of the foundations for a Khrushchevka if you ever want to see why extremely time consuming site prep steps like soil surcharging and foundation curing are critical (soil hydrodynamics is a shockingly modern discipline in structural engineering)).

    Things like an unoccupied home tax (as someone else mentioned) are an immediately workable solution, and have had excellent results thus far. Hopefully they can continue to be adopted, though I fear there may be a brief pause on any kind of beneficial social progress while we have a small civil war in the US.

  • A more immediate solution than building khrUShchevkas would just be to announce broad rent caps and implement rent assistance programs. Perfect no, but the logistics of building that much housing would be... insurmountable in any reasonable timeframe.

  • amazing...

  • It's more that you phrased it "believed to be the real origin" which presents it like it's somehow questionable - this was 1986, people who developed ARPANET are just recently retiring, this isn't a lost or secret history. Also you say you're not going to do something that sounds conspiracy-theory-y and then go on to do the thing you just said you wouldn't do.

  • I know you're accusing me of taking this too seriously, but I fat-fingered the downvote button and a few minutes later, on a 22 hour old post, you go thru and downvote everything I've said? I don't even know how you'd notice that since it was only for a moment before I reversed the vote, but man if your attitude in a discussion is that malleable that's concerning.

    Edif: Yeah, saw that coming...
