  • And the flat I live in… This stuff does not belong on markets to be sold for profits

    But markets are why you were able to buy it.

    Here in Sweden they do rent control with the first hand contracts system and it just leads to extreme corruption. So a few lucky people pay ~400 EUR a month in the city centre, meanwhile normally you’d pay 1800. They sub-let them illegally, and anyone moving in from outside the city (no 10 years on the city housing queue) faces an extortionate, unregulated black market.

    Markets are the solution, not the problem. We just need freedom in construction too, so supply can match demand.


  • Kindle - all the books, all the time.

    Sony WH1000-XM3 (I guess newer models are still good) - excellent noise cancelling, perfect for flights

    Steam Deck - play almost any games, anywhere, and with a full desktop mode too.

    In the past I’d have put the Acer Aspire One, I loved the netbook form factor, now I use either the Vivobook or Steam Deck like that.

    The Aeropress is also great for quick, simple coffee.
