It’s not just one national solution - such solutions exist in many EU countries already and are bound to pop up in the rest of them.

Except it’s not nothing that’s being replaced. Most EU countries have some kind of electronic identification already. And criticizing whatever is being built right now without acknowledging that is dumb and misleading.

Bad as in the already omnipresent, opaque corporate monopolies on this? That’s what we have in Sweden, anyway.

There is no way what we have now in sweden is better than this thing.

BankID is used everywhere, was developed opaquely by banks and now we are stuck in a system where all kinds of different services use it for no reason.

What an insane misrepresentation of the technology

Perfect is the enemy of good.

Try being a little less stupid then

Is your brain unable to comprehend what I mean by ”at the office”?

I am not unconvinved that you actually do spend an insane amount of time at the office.

I am also convinved that you could be 50%+ more efficient if you just cut corners where you needed to. And also, not on the brink of a mental breakdown.

90 hours a week math? Sounds unrealistic, reminds me of somebody at the faculty who said he would spend similar hours at the office during his phd. He also said it was out of guilt and the extra work didn’t really amount to anything due to fatigue.

To me it sounds like you should first address whatever mental issues you have going on.

How broadly do you dislike programming? Data science kinda stuff could work for you if the main focus is on modleing and understading data, even if that means actually implementing the models and the algorthms by programming.

I mean you can post and comment on the programmer humor community pretty long before stumbling on the topic of communism. But yeah I don’t think we disagree here

Even if you do, the worst thing that can happen is them banning you on a bunch of their communities

Ok? Why does that matter if you’re not on their server

Trump will take a hero dose of acid, there’s no other way

housing is artificially scarce

Housing is not artificially scarce, because land is naturally scarce.

Renting will always cost more than the upkeep of a house because otherwise nobody would lease

On average yes, but you also do not need to account for variability in price due to for example, having to replace the plumbing every 20 years or so.

All your issues with personal ownership of a house stem from other people treating housing as private property that can be invested in

This addresses none of the things I listed.

I think housing is a human right but homeownership has nothing to do with it. Governmental intervention or renters organizing or both is required to secure the right.

Given a rental apartment with an affordable rent where I could live as long as I want, why would I want to own property instead?

I don’t want to worry about the plumbing being replaced or the floor having water damage, and that putting tens of thousands of costs on me randomly. I don’t want to speculate what the price of the apartment is in ten years and how that affects my mortgage. I don’t want to not have housing anymore if I get a pest infestation.

I think it’s the other way round, people own property because it is seen (and often is) the only way to have reasonable housing costs and not worry about having to move if you don’t want to.

A single home owner does not expect to profit from that investment

What are you talking about? People definitely buy homes as an investment so that they can sell it and retire.

increase in value provides the means to move to a new home

What is this, if not profiting off an investment?

Housing being a human right has nothing to do with getting rid of rental properties. If anything, having to buy a house is a lot bigger barrier to housing than rent.

What we need is rent to be affordable, and landlords to do their job, i.e. maintain and fix the apartments. There are many ways to achieve this: government owned housing, legal regulation, tenant unions etc. Everybody buing a house or an apartment is not one of them.
