- Comment on New Study: Global Fertility Rate Decline Now Linked Directly to the Commodification of Housing 1 week ago:
This is such an important finding if true. Does anyone have an idea about how reliable this is/ know of other news outlets reporting this as definitively?
I see sources which corroborate the thesis here and I’m asking if there are other news or policy outlets which agree with this.
Reason I think this is important is because falling birthrates are blamed on all kinds of reasons which are typical societal scapegoats. I’ve heard everything from immigrantiin, to women having jobs, to porn, and even videogames. I’d love it of we could focus on things that actually matter

The awe and grandeur of Occarina Of Time… at the time.
Disco Elysium is the best literature I’ve ever played.
I still feel like used to live in Skyrim. It was a place where I wanted to be and explore.
TF2/Halo CE multilayer mix of copetitive adrenaline and funny shenanigans
Those are the game experiences which stuck with me.
- Comment on The Great Software Quality Collapse: How We Normalized Catastrophe 2 weeks ago:
Accept that quality matters more than velocity. Ship slower, ship working. The cost of fixing production disasters dwarfs the cost of proper development.
This has been a struggle my entire career. Sometimes, the company listens. Sometimes they don’t. It’s a worthwhile fight but it is a systemic problem caused by management and short-term profit-seeking over healthy business growth

- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 1 month ago:
I haven’t seen this mentioned but apart from 8K being expensive, requiring new production pipelines, unweildley for storage and bandwidth, unneeded, and not fixing g existing problems with 4K, it requires MASSIVE screens to reap benefits.
There are several similar posts, but suffice to say, 8K content is only perceived by average eyesight at living room distances when screens are OVER 100 inches in diameter at the bare minimum. That’s 7 feet wide.

- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 6 months ago:
Home Assistant is - by far - a better home automation platform than anything else I’ve tried. Most of them cannot integrate with as many platforms and your ability to create automations is not as powerful.
Folks will argue that it’s harder. I argue back that if you buy a hub with it pre-installed, your setup experience is as easy or easier than HomeKit or Google Home or maybe Alexa.
