Private != anonymous. Saying "we don't collect logs" really doesn't mean all that much as there's still many, many ways to track and uniquely identify you. That said, if you want to shield your IP from an instance using a VPN is your best bet rather than relying on someone's pet Lemmy instance to not store logs or delete them after a period of time.

This should be multiple choices because different platforms are used for different topics. For example:
- Reporting a bug in an open source project: Whatever their bug tracker is where others can find the issue and chime in with more info/a fix.
- Asking for help in setting something up: A support forum of some type. Depending on size and activity level of project this would take different forms.
- Reporting a security issue: Something confidential with the developers so they have a chance to fix it before its publicly known.
Point being, there's no single platform for all projects or even all use cases within a single project.
You know, you're never going to change that map if you tell everyone living in one of those red states that their home is part of "dumbfuckistan."

I'm taking it at face value then and using whatever I think is appropriate. There's no point in wasting time playing games with this.
I'm sure it is, but when you throw in property taxes, insurance, HOA dues, PMI, and the big one: maintenance costs (which will vary dramatically on a case-by-case basis), comparing mortgages to rent becomes an apples-to-oranges comparison. For me personally, I spent $50k in the first six months of owning my home on maintenance & repairs alone. That could have paid for 2+ years of rent. Not to mention the ~$30k or so you'll pay to sell it if you're only going to be there for a few years.
Keep in mind too that the mortgage interest deduction is now capped at the first $750k. For people in HCOL areas, that's starting to become a fairly low limit.
But yeah, I'm with you on the sense of stability is worth something too and that's hard to put a dollar figure on. Most people want that stability, but there's also people that want flexibility or may move around a lot such that buying a home every other year doesn't make sense. My overall point is that it's not always cheaper to buy and that renters can and do come out ahead, especially when they're also investing excess funds appropriately.
For sure, I'm not trying to say that buying a house is a bad idea by any means, just that for some people you can rent and still come out ahead of a homeowner. It seems like people always compare a mortgage payment to their rent and think "wow, owning is so cheap compared to my rent!" and then forget about all the other costs associated with owning that can easily result in monthly costs double that mortgage rate. For example, I pay much more for my house now than I did when I was renting. Yes, it's building equity but if I took the difference in costs and invested it in index funds over the long term could easily be equal to or exceed money earned from property appreciation. Plus, index funds are far more liquid than real estate is and I never have the mow the lawn of my portfolio. But on the other hand the stability and sense of ownership in a home is worth something as well which is harder to put a dollar figure on. If that's worth something (as it is to me) then buying is likely worth the premium.
Buying is not always cheaper than renting. You're on the hook for closing costs, ongoing maintenance, property taxes, insurance, HOA dues, PMI, etc. Then if you're only living somewhere for a few years you have to pay real estate agent fees to sell. Depending on length of ownership it can very easily be cheaper to rent. Plus you can't just up and leave like you can at the end of a lease. Renting is far more flexible and that's attractive for some people.
There's also something to be said for paying more to live in a house rather than an apartment for the reasons you listed, but the same math above applies to renting vs. buying a single family home, or some other standalone housing.

Something must have changed then, likely with whatever parameters you're giving to the current request. That said, we can't help if you don't provide the needed information; the request format doesn't tell the full story. The exact request and server response are needed to diagnose why a particular request is being rejected.
HTTP 400 means "bad request." So your request is likely malformed or unexpected in some way. That's the most that can be said without server logs or the exact request to inspect.
Considering the amount of flat out incorrect or wildly off-base code GPT has generated on surprisingly simple tasks over the past nearly year now, no, I'm not too worried about my job. I find it handy for time to time in replacing stuff I previously used a search engine for which makes it a productivity booster for me, but for anything novel or not straightforward (aka, anything outside of its training set, which is what I'd ideally want to use it for), it's less than useful or actively harmful in trying to lead me down the wrong path. Overall, it still requires a human with significant knowledge in the field to know how to use the information these tools generate and how to put the pieces together to do something useful. I don't see how that could change until there is an actual reasoning artificial intelligence brain developed which is a BIG ask, if it's even possible in our lifetimes, or ever.
...or maybe we'll all be out of a job in 10 years. Humans are quite bad at predicting the future and I am indeed human.
And for what it's worth, no I did not RTFA. I've spent enough time reading articles prophesizing the doom of software engineering due to generative AI and don't feel like wasting more time on the topic.
