Yes, they do (or in my case they buy the land and build new houses). I live in a rented house right now in northern germany. Most of the houses in my Siedlung are rented. My Landlord (probably, i dont know for sure) owns more than a few of them.

To buy a house around here you need upwards of 400k€ (there are cheaper houses, but then you will spend a TON of money into Sanierung), and for a credit of that size the bank wants an Eigenbeteiligung of around 50k€, I dont have that kind of money laying around, so renting it is. Luckily my rent is still kinda cheap at about 1200€/M warm.

Be careful saying things like that, you might summon the wrath of the zealots upon yourself. Lord of the Rings fans are not to be messed with.

I just want to continue using my HP Reverb G2, which will be bricked for absolutely no reason due to the deprecation of the Windows Mixed Reality Portal with the end of Windows 10. :-(

Using tabs for document management (f.e. Browsers, Text-Editors, ...) was a mistake. It would be way better if every document (website, text-file, image, console, ..) was in its own window, centrally managed by an intelligent window manager of the OS that allows quick and easy search between all documents like with a full-text searchable exposè-like view.

Using tabs for document-management was a bad but necessary workaround because Windows is a horrible window manager (despite its name, ironically).

Tabs work best when there is a fixed amount of them (Like with game settings: Controls, Audio, Video, Gameplay).

I could go on for quite a while on this, but I think this is where I stop.

I'd make a few kids with my wife, make my private pilot license and travel the world with my family by plane (as the pilot, of course). In the meantime I build aviation related open source software.
