Not surprised that NYC is overcorrecting once again. I work in the industry and out of 2500 apartments we estimate around 20 are tenants involved in short term rentals. The last two we caught were even people that rent multiple rent-stabilized apartments and run their own business on Airbnb. This not only puts a pressure on unit supply in general but also specifically removes affordable housing opportunities for those in need.

At least with the buildings I’m involved in, the bigger issue is the state removing any ability to raise rents on vacant rent-stabilized units. We have at least 60 units sitting vacant indefinitely because it would take over 5 years to recover the cost of fixing up the unit and getting it rented. This rule was meant to stop shitty landlords drom taking advantage of tenants but if their focus was on tenant protection laws instead of completely removing all incentives to invest capital in old units they wouldn’t have swapped one issue for another.

I’m sure there are legitimate uses for Airbnb that have now been completely eliminated and we’ll see unintended consequences down the line.

So they made the immigration minister the housing minister and now he wants to cut immigration? When all you have is a hammer…

The scary part is how many people just don’t seem to care. Hey, did you know you can get cheap bullshit on Temu? The idea that you’ll one day have to compete for your job with someone with an implant is scary, not for them because they signed up at betterhelp.com to have a professional talk them off a ledge once a week. Hopefully they won’t be much of a threat because of all the single people in their area. Also, boner pills anyone?

Yes but it’s risky. The poop on the 4th day may make you have to retile your bathroom.

For anyone that needs to hear this. You can’t be reasonable with unreasonable people. Don’t judge yourself by their standards. Do the right thing and focus what’s under your control.

Is ID still a topic at schools? I remember back in the day we had FSM to point out how ridiculous their positions were.

I had to stop right at the beginning where he blames diseases on Bill Gates because the Gates foundation focused on other diseases, diverting funds. Like pick a path and I’ll blame you for not picking the other one. No judgment otherwise as I haven’t watched the video but that’s just weak.

Would love to read more about the Bluetooth lag. Does it affect Bluetooth dac’s like the fiio btr5 as well?

Much appreciated!

I’ve used vanced and revanced since day one and always checked the stickied reddit post for any update notes before upgrading to the latest patch set. Revanced decided to migrate to Discord which is possibly the dumbest place they could have gone to (read: I don’t know how to use it to quickly find relevant patch notes and am angry about it), and I feel like updating to a new version is a crapshoot.

Do you know of a better place to find out which versions are compatible with the latest APK and where to get support if something breaks?

Revanced did this and it’s infuriating. I just hop in once in a while and ask the same dumb question because I can’t be arsed to scroll up 200 posts to find the answer; just to underscore this point.

Now I’m picturing a T-Rex trying to take notes in the middle of my meeting… Thanks a lot.

Alright. I’m convinced Lemmy is the future if this is the quality of replies here. Nicely done!
