    Despite the conjecture here, he still sounds awful. Especially if you’re rich and successful and you don’t even help friends who helped you.

    Like if I was broke and working hard on some story and my friends helped me in some capacity, and it was always known it wouldn’t be for financial compensation but then it goes off and becomes a success I would definitely help them back. Maybe not like give them a credit on the book but a thank you shout out and maybe something off the record or something… Not ruin my relationships and be an ass



  • I’m so happy to see a few alternatives popping up already and I hope to see them fleshed out well.

    As someone who’s pretty new to things like FOSS, self hosting, etc. I am hopeful that there will be a release that’s more “idiot proof”.

    I have a few friends who aren’t going to spend time trying to learn all the small things needed to set up stuff. Hopefully I’ll be able to set up something and just invite them and they just have to make an account in an app type thing to use. Lol

    Not sure I follow? I worked for it. I worked very hard to be in a position to buy it and afford it. Some who can’t afford the full price but can pay rent and still get to benefit of a home living lifestyle without needing to own. What’s wrong with that?

    There’s a divergence here because some people expect a hand out, not a hand up. There are programs in some countries where people rent to ownership and I think that’s what the government and other private companies should be doing. But I don’t like being lotted in the slumlord scums.

    For what it’s worth, I’d like to add that I work a regular job still 50hrs a week. I have a single other property and don’t consider myself a “landlord” because it’s not my career or something I base my sole livelihood on.

    If the government wants to make housing a human right and take it over with some fair compensation I’d be happy to not own. Property management comes with its own set of trials and challenges with horrible tenants, bad people go both ways.
