Just let people build more housing. In most American cities it’s either totally impossible or so expensive only millionaires and big real estate companies can afford it. There’s no reason for a permitting process that takes 5 years or for single family zoning, other than homeowners self interest and racism.

Don’t do that. Deleting your account is enough and some of your comments might be useful info that doesn’t exist anywhere else.

Valve has a pretty unique flat structure that could protect them from a corporate buyout, even more if Gaben decides to transfer ownership into an employee trust and turn it into a full co-op when he leaves.

Even in the US there’s no law against hosting encrypted files. They could be liable if they knew a specific file was illegal/pirated and didn’t take it down but a recent SCOTUS case (think it was Twitter v Taamneh) set the precedent that general knowledge of illegal activity is not enough.

This gives me an idea. Make a federated torrent site. It would be practically impossible to take down and one instance going offline because they don’t have money wouldn’t destroy everything like in RARBG’s case.

Bluesky has a global identity system where instance accounts are just links to a DID (basically your private key). If you get banned from an instance you have to change your name but you keep all your posts and likes.

These are all fast, violent and kind of similar to each other:

• Broforce is a platformer with fully destructible levels where you save the world from Satan’s terrorist army. It has more explosions than a Michael Bay movie.
• Hotline Miami and its sequel are tactical top down games about shooting up houses. You die a lot but restarts are automatic so it’s no big deal.
• Katana Zero is like Hotline Miami if it was a platformer. You’re a cyber ninja who can slow down time and reflect bullets with his katana. The story is interesting and very emotional.
• Ghostrunner is Katana Zero but 3D.
