So, you’re kind of correct. However, you CAN make profit by acting as an ‘organizer’ for the charity event, where the charity pays you the money as a service, but directly gets the donations. See: Games Done Quick, which is a for-profit LLC that the various charities they ‘support’ pay them to put on the event. Of course, this number naturally is likely to end up being a % of the last event’s donations.

In theory, in the case of eminent domain you get the value of your home paid. In practice… its often not enough to actually buy a similar house.

This is getting more and more difficult, sadly. Almost all new housing development is done by corporate / bulk build, which are almost always governed by HOAs

Amen… never buy a house in a HOA if you plan to actually keep and payoff said house. Even if its a “good one”, they can and do change. All it takes is a vote for your $50/mo HOA to become $1000+/mo because they want to build a golf course or do custom street signs and a pool or whatever.

This absolutely annoys the heck out of me.

I certainly can understand that. My issue isnt with the overall functionality though, but the absurd waste of empty space. “Old reddit” was far more useful and information dense. I would suggest kbin’s default or at least an option be done similarly where way more articles can be seen in a single “screen” without scrolling.

I didnt have access to good internet, this was back in dial-up era in the 90s and even though my pals had 56k, I was still on a very spotty 33k modem. I bought “Corel Linux” on disc(s) from Costco. It wasn’t particularly great, but I definitely learned a lot about getting linux to play nice with hardware!

This desperately needs to be a built-in option. Old reddit’s design was far better than new reddit, why did these (lemmy, kbin) decide to emulate new reddit’s trash UI?
