Yeah that’s surprisingly one thing we all agree on

It means that you can’t move. There are many cases where people sell their houses, either out of want (they’re moving somewhere else), or necessity (they can’t afford the upkeep or really need the money right now, etc.)

If you take out a mortgage, you should be able to afford it with your income,

True. But income changes with time and it doesn’t always go up.

Negative equity means someone who lost their job can’t sell their house and get enough money to support them and get a smaller house. It’s bad because real estate is supposed to be the most reliable investment: it’s a plan B (and usually more of a plan C) and if that fails, people may have nothing left at all.

Political maps are a terrible tool for visualizing cultural / linguistic practices (and on this one, colonization didn’t make it even worse). Just gotta roll with it and enjoy the weird assumptions :)

I prefer to support smaller instances, but don’t have a problem with lemmy.ml specifically (whereas I do sometimes go out of my way to avoid lemmy.world)

I believe someone had asked for it and they said it was nearly impossible. You’d be able to do it in a single given app maybe, but the « download an episode by default » system, the (wonderful) variety of podcasting apps, and the variety of podcast ad services all make it nearly impossible. It’s somewhere in the issues!

This extension really changed my life, or at least my fraught relationship with YouTube!

I don’t know about the author, but I’m on Linux and Android and the apps I see on Notion Calendar are for Windows and Mac for desktop and for iOS on phone.

I’ve tried the web client a bit when it came out but it just didn’t really click for me (as in, I didn’t see how it would be better than any email client that has an integrated calendar). Also, calendar web clients just don’t answer the issue, in my opinion. And regular Notion is slow and clunky in my experience, so I haven’t given them the benefit of the doubt on the Calendar part of their tooling. :)

Paris doesn’t need new housing, it just needs to keep upgrading its existing apartments :)

Otherwise yes sounds right.

They correspond to the larger eras in French economy.

• Industrial revolution
• Entre-deux-guerres, a period of strong urbanization and a huge push towards social housing. I suppose they included WW2 cause nothing was built there anyway.
• 1946 to 1970 is “les trente glorieuses”, the time of rebuilding everything, which means everyone had a job and could afford a house or apartment.
• The oil crash in 1973 ushered in a more modern era, usually more left-wing after May 68 and with the election of Mitterrand in 1982.
• The 1990 one is around when we elected a right-wing president and the public policies vastly changed.
• 2005-2006 was starting to get tough because of oil again, I believe. It is also around the beginning of the US subprime crisis, of which the consequences affected us all too.

Yeah, Anna’s Archive bragged about doing it (and they did great).

Yes, I didn’t mean to imply otherwise!

Yes and yes! Anxiety and depression can have symptoms very similar to those of ADHD.

In my country it’s free to get a nurse visiting you twice a day when you’re disabled (including old age related disability). You’d also get massive financial aid for a live-in person, but they’d normally be a family member who would get a government salary + possible adaptations to their normal job (eg always working from home).

Hospice is a last resort and it’s incredibly expensive.

Poor Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden not even speaking their countries’ languages :(

(One of the first things I learned when I joined the Localization industry was to never use a flag to represent a language!)

people really hate when developers are paid for their work huh

I’d recommend donating to your national Wikimedia chapter if you aren’t in the US. They’re not funded by megacorps and they often struggle financially, and they’re the ones doing a lot of work on the ground.

I’m really grateful for this series!

(I don’t think that’s it - it’s 9.99 if you’re paying on desktop and 12.99 with the Apple tax (also applied to Android), but applies to your whole account.)
