The question is how long before cars are the same price as a house right now? Just 10 years ago you could get a car for around $22,000 now that same car is $45,000 and the materials are less expensive then they where then. Don’t get me wrong I understand price increases, been a thing for years. What I don’t understand is why someone would pay up to $75,000 for a truck that cost 35,000 just a 5 years ago when the quality has gone downhill. Why would anyone want a $1300 to $1500 car payment a month for a car that might last 5 years before breaking down somehow. And don’t tell me “it’s the cost of materials and labor.” This is nothing but pure greed. The labor force is making the same amount of money they were 5 years ago, materials may have gone up by 3%-4% over the same period. The only people coming out ahead are the CEO’s and banks.

Everything. They don’t care about nothing but making more money. Greed will be the death of everyone who isn’t already rich.

There is however a way of reverting this (for now?):

  1. Load about:config in the Firefox address bar.

  2. Click Accept the Risk and Continue, if the prompt appears.

  3. Search for extensions.quarantinedDomains.enabled.

  4. Set it to FALSE.

  5. restart Firefox.

I originally started with Knoppix in 1998 used that unitl i9 switched to ubuntu warty warthog and following versions until unity came out in then I switched to mint as unity constantly crashed my machine. stayed with mint for like 5 years, then moved to fedora for a year, switched to tumbleweed because I got tired of the SELinux in fedora causing issues.

Been on endeavourOS for a year now, and if i do decide to migrate a gain I will be going full vanilla arch.

I just read this morning that someone is spamming the hell out of lemmy.world from what looks like an attempted DDoS run with a ton of communities with a bunch of random post with no actual content.

It’s just big tech trying to get it greedy fingers on money anyway they can! I understand it costs money to run websites, but it’s getting to the point where a lot of sites and ad revenue setups are starting to have more ads then actual content, like back in the 80’s and 90’s. And do t forget about the scripts that track everything up do so they can pinpoint ads that will peel to you, at so they think, based on browsing and search history. Hell even brave is starting to put ads and trackers in its browser
