If in doubt about my meaning,
I'm probably being sarcastic.

@slash1sol A dev team i supported was bewildered when I used it, as repo, of requirements documents.

Yes, ms word documents.

@realsteelbrain @davepl1968 Good luck vibe coding what the computer sends down the serial cable.

@davepl1968 @CheriDiNovo That would be why live expectancy in Canada is 4 years more than the USA?

Outcomes over outputs.

The best cure for a gunshot wound is never being shot in the first place.

@Amexred @WarArchiveClips Yes, you can target a radio transmitter.
No, if there are 20 drones in an area, there is zero way, to go after "Johan who is controlling drone number 5."

[Garrie Irons @GarrieIrons]

@TristenPalori @rahbar_rod Then live in an apartment?

@rukie29 @purplepingers the distinction between "literal" communism and "literal" socialism is literally "the existence of central government."

Private anything has zero to do with either.

Forgive me for assuming you may understand the concept of context.

@cDebIn2050 @purplepingers Having had family live on rural property with boss = landlord,

Even at peppercorn rent,

No.

[Garrie Irons @GarrieIrons]

@rukie29 @purplepingers If a government does it, it's socialist.

If there's no government, that's Communist

@A_dub06 @purplepingers It is estimated at 169,000 air bnb in Australia.
There are about 11.5 million homes.

Making that 11.7 won't change much of anything, we need 14 million.

@DCash64939 @purplepingers If you're going to compel a behaviour, you can't then not provide a benefit for that behaviour.

@cDebIn2050 @purplepingers Of all possible landlords, your boss is the worst kind

[Garrie Irons @GarrieIrons]

@purplepingers Every single house I own used to be government owned and I'm 100% happy to sell it back for public housing.

Noting I've done things like replace kitchens, bathrooms, etc (maintenance) which housing departments often avoid by just selling it broken.

[Garrie Irons @GarrieIrons]

@purplepingers You don't need to touch a single component of tax, to implement public housing.

The two are fully independent concepts.

If there was "sufficient" public housing, there would be no business case for private landlords to hold residential property assets. None.

[Garrie Irons @GarrieIrons]

@davepl1968 They generally worked fine in Australia, we have pretty good consumer protection and getting what you're being sold when you buy a ticket is important here.

[Garrie Irons @GarrieIrons]

@purplepingers Nationalising private property is a pretty extreme policy.

I mean it is on brand, that doesn't stop it from being extreme

[Garrie Irons @GarrieIrons]

@davepl1968 @wynrosei Yes that's 30 years ago. I'm just applying your maths

[Garrie Irons @GarrieIrons]

@davepl1968 @wynrosei So you think 1995 should be soon enough?

[Garrie Irons @GarrieIrons]

@NoManicTweeter @SinisaCatic @davepl1968 I've seen what non profits do in Australia.

Sure, they're not run to provide a dividend to shareholders. So what.
