oluwie··on The Banished Bottom of the Housing Market
Beats living on the streets if that’s the only thing you can afford.

Like the article said, there’s fine hotels for some and some truly terrible ones for others. Still beats being homeless. Also, just because something isn’t perfect and has its flaws, doesn’t mean it’s not worthwhile.

WeLive/WeWork used to do this before the CEO fiasco. They operated a shared living space for working professionals. It wasn’t $231/mo but it was a great way for younger professionals to get their foot in the door living and working in the city.

All the criticisms of Bitcoin scalability.
oluwie··on Google Brings Gemini to Gmail, Docs, Slides, and More
I've asked it coding questions and found the answers to be generally better than the ones I've received from ChatGPT. I should have specified, I think overall, ChatGPT is better but it seems that Gemini's knowledge of the web is more up to date than ChatGPT's.
oluwie··on 4-day week made permanent for 89% UK firms who took part in Worlds biggest trial
i think that's implied by accurately reading the title
oluwie··on Google Brings Gemini to Gmail, Docs, Slides, and More
Desperately trying to catch up to Microsoft.

oluwie··on Apple's iMessage avoids EU's Digital Markets Act regulation
Installing it means installing a bundle or a package, which would come with all of the ads and intricacies you want to get away from.

There are almost no applications (at least that I've found) where you can download the source code of the app, build it and then install it locally to your device (except for testing of course).

Been using Mint Mobile for a year and love it. Have had absolutely 0 issues with them even during peak times. Switched from a T-Mobile paying $70 a month for unlimited everything to $30 a month with Mint for pretty much the same service.

Damn you Ryan Reynolds for selling out.

oluwie··on T-Mobile switches users to pricier plans
I've been using Mint mobile for over a year and never had a problem with them, even during "peak" times. I expect the $30 a month I pay for unlimited everything is about to drastically change.

As someone once said, cocaine is a hell of a drug.
