No positive change happened as a result of 2008, and I doubt any change will happen if there was an equal or even greater crash now.

The only way change will happen is if people demand it. The collective trauma of WW2 was enough to bring about change almost as if the populous went "That was shit, now we deserve something better". That, and the fear of communist thought taking hold pushed the governing class to action.

Just out of interest, what are the reasons someone would move from neovim to helix?

It's about a 24 minute walk or a 17 minute journey by bus

Looks like next year you will have to fire up a windows VM and play a game for 5 minutes, and then safely return to the warm embrace of your cosy Linux system.

If you haven't already, try and find a zero waste shop near you, the kind of place where you take your own containers and fill it up with what you need.

Me and my partner made it a part of our routine to visit once a month, and we have successfully replaced a bunch of our household items with zero plastic options.

I still upset that they cancelled the eastern leg to Leeds

For sure a refurbished thinkpad. Generally thinkpads have good support in all the popular distros, their build quality is decent, and it's easy to upgrade and repair.

There is a way of mounting a btrfs partition in Windows, but I am not sure about it's level of performance.

I would be honest about owning the property from the get go. Because if it ever came out that you're the owner (and it most certainly will) that would create a very awkward situation.

In my eyes so long as you are paying for the mortgage/house loan, and not passing on passing on the burden that the tenant won't gain from then your ethically in the clear.

As for what the tenant would pay, I see no reason not to go 50:50 on the bills with the tenant, and potentially getting them contributing to a ground rent (not sure if that's a thing outside of the UK, but it's basically where the owner of an apartment pays the owner of the building to help with upkeep).

You might even consider a situation where you agree a monthly surplus to set aside in the event of repairs that may need to be done, agreeing that any money they put in is returned to them as the end of their tenancy if no such repairs were needed.

At the end of the day if you have a tenant you shouldn't be extracting any value from them for your own benefit, beyond the obvious benefit of sharing living expenses.

If anyone disagrees with me I'd really love to hear it.

The report this article is based on is actually called "On Thin Ice: Disproportionate Responses to Climate Change Protesters in Democratic Countries"

The title of the article is a bit misleading including the term "rich countries", especially as that term is not used once in the article.

In my mind measuring the level of democracy is harder than the wealth of a nation.
