It means that you can’t move. There are many cases where people sell their houses, either out of want (they’re moving somewhere else), or necessity (they can’t afford the upkeep or really need the money right now, etc.)

If you take out a mortgage, you should be able to afford it with your income,

True. But income changes with time and it doesn’t always go up.

Negative equity means someone who lost their job can’t sell their house and get enough money to support them and get a smaller house. It’s bad because real estate is supposed to be the most reliable investment: it’s a plan B (and usually more of a plan C) and if that fails, people may have nothing left at all.

I don’t know about the author, but I’m on Linux and Android and the apps I see on Notion Calendar are for Windows and Mac for desktop and for iOS on phone.

I’ve tried the web client a bit when it came out but it just didn’t really click for me (as in, I didn’t see how it would be better than any email client that has an integrated calendar). Also, calendar web clients just don’t answer the issue, in my opinion. And regular Notion is slow and clunky in my experience, so I haven’t given them the benefit of the doubt on the Calendar part of their tooling. :)

Yeah, Anna’s Archive bragged about doing it (and they did great).

In my country it’s free to get a nurse visiting you twice a day when you’re disabled (including old age related disability). You’d also get massive financial aid for a live-in person, but they’d normally be a family member who would get a government salary + possible adaptations to their normal job (eg always working from home).

Hospice is a last resort and it’s incredibly expensive.

people really hate when developers are paid for their work huh

I’d recommend donating to your national Wikimedia chapter if you aren’t in the US. They’re not funded by megacorps and they often struggle financially, and they’re the ones doing a lot of work on the ground.

I’m really grateful for this series!

(I don’t think that’s it - it’s 9.99 if you’re paying on desktop and 12.99 with the Apple tax (also applied to Android), but applies to your whole account.)

yup

singular they/them users are usually non-binary, ie. neither men nor women, and they’ve been around for a while and are getting more visibility now thanks to a more accepting society.

while it can be hard to read the first few times you encounter them, you’ll get used to it, don’t worry! :)

Should just have [Major] and [Minor] in the post title imo

Fellow French - wait until you realize their unions only apply to one company and not a whole industry so they can’t actually do anything on a large scale. This broke me.

I’ve never gotten actually decent search results from DDG and was always ending up using !g to find something vaguely relevant, especially for non-English queries.

I absolutely love Kagi. I generally manage to stay under 300 searches per month (the $5 tier), and might move to the unlimited $10 tier just to remove any kind of anxiety around the number of searches (and to support them).

Their EU compensation is excellent. Nearly as good as FAANG.

I feel like OSMAnd is easier to use than the super advanced Vespucci. Haven’t gotten many cases where I couldn’t solve my StreetComplete issue in OSMAnd, and idk, Vespucci is just very overwhelming for me.

I have nothing to bring to your question but wanted to say hello, fellow “learning Inkscape for Wikipedia” person!

It’s a Lemmarr now!
