The commit history of that file (not naming it denylist is telling enough, tbh) is hilarious!

Shadowbanning users in the client, telling users they are subscribed to the wrong communities, it has everything lol

Thousands of users world wide, that's like multiple users per country, oh no!

Proving the original point that renting is not the same as paying a mortgage.

Yeah, that was not my point either. If it was, I wouldn't have bought a house, after all. This is our retirement fund.

For the time being it is mine with a footnote, the footnote being the banks supervision. That was what I tried to say.

Germany.

Of course there's a distinction between what is written in the contracts and what is actually lived.

Example: I agreed in writing that the bank can cancel the contract and collect all payment when they suspect I could not make future payments. I can fight the decision in court, but only after the fact of losing the house.

Practically, that will never happen as long as I make my payments etc, of course, as no bank wants to be known as the one kicking out owners without reason. But legally, they could.

Yes, but. I am the registered owner of my house, but the registration also states the loan I had to take out. And I can't change anything without the banks approval. I couldn't even sell my house if the bank doesn't agree. So I do own my house, but that doesn't really mean much until I paid for it.

Don't know what you gain by calling names.

No, I didn't say exhausting, I said uncomfortable. I bought my first ereader in 2009, and a lot of then in the meantime, I had devices with only buttons, only toucscreen, and both.

Using buttons for page turns is the most comfortable for me. I do appreciate a touchscreen to configure the device, select books, etc.

I'm fine with it being cheaper as long as it has a backlight lol

Its an essential feature for me, just saying of it would make the device more expensive, so be it
