@s31bz These layoffs are a drop in the bucket compared to the number of job openings.
The biggest issue with housing in the US, IMHO, is good old-fashioned NIMBYism. Corporate and wealthy real estate investors are an issue, but not nearly on the level of people simply voting down things that might adversely impact their property value. It's just too damned hard to build new housing or really anything at all here.

It has been really interesting the way that the "recession" has been more meme than reality. Eventually they might be right, but that time is not right now.
@MylesRyden I don't necessarily think algorithms are the issue here so much as it's this idea that we need a monolithic entity to contain an entire chunk of the web and be responsible for moderating it. We don't need either of those things.
Hypothetically, a single user could employ their own custom Mastodon instance that uses ML to vastly improve their user experience. That would be incredibly easy to moderate (you moderate yourself, that's it).
Yeah. The Internet would be just fine.
It's interesting to me that many people can't conceive of a web that is larger than maybe a few dozen websites. At least way back when we understood that AOL was a bad thing.

I am a never-nester.
Can someone explain to me how #crypto isn't a scam?
