No, any value outside of what is owed to the bank.

If you take out a 300k mortgage and pay it down to 150k principle then default, the bank sells it for 250k and gives you 100k (minus associated costs).

another irrelevant comment about politics.
Left-Wing media scams loyal followers with lies and unattainable promises.

Welcome to politics.

The bank doesn't "keep" your house, they foreclose on it and sell it. Once they sell your home, any liens and associated costs are satisfied and the remainder of the money is given to the borrower.

Okay but your comment is just your opinion with very little or zero basis in reality.
> They have no idea that they should split users into contributors and lurkers

Comments like this amaze me. People really think these giant corps are out here not doing things like this.

That's plainly false, and there is no data to back up your claim.

Imagine being a "family" that spends time in these...

Try reality, that's cool too.

This part really made me sad.

This is scary as hell, especially the part where they showcased taking 3D video of your kids while they're playing outside.

Yeah, spend time outside with your children with an AR headset strapped to your face, while a screen on the outside of it conveys your emotions.

The future is scary and sad.

> A lot of people use third-party apps.

Where do you get this information from? And what is "a lot"?

I'd wager 99% of Reddit users (therefor, income) use the official reddit app and new website.

Welcome to Reddit.
Yes really, for 99% of reddit users who don't subscribe to niche communities about leathercraft and math.

your politics don't matter to me since you spend your entire life in your house.
Re:Witch – macOS window switcher replacement on Friday June 02, 2023 @10:23AM (#36165472)
Same for me. Trackpad is my best friend for productivity. 4-fingers up (and also bottom-left hot corner) for Mission Control, top-left hot corner for desktop, 4-finger swipe left/right between spaces.

I don't need anything more than that, and any app that offers more just becomes noise.

I always feel so terrible for people who always have to inject politics into everything.

Ya don't say...
10 years ago we seen a lot of open-discussion platforms. That all died when picking a side became profitable.
Until you get automatically banned from the top subreddit simply for commenting in a completely separate subreddit the mods don't like.
Mindfulness and exercise are great, and I'd like to add fresh air and in-person socialization.
Re:Fakespot Is Acquired by Mozilla on Tuesday May 02, 2023 @02:29PM (#35792113)
FakeSpot will benefit from a parent company like Mozilla.
Re:Fakespot Is Acquired by Mozilla on Tuesday May 02, 2023 @12:30PM (#35790116)
I think this is a great acquisition, but I'm curious where this may give Mozilla an advantage. Do they plan on baking this into Firefox, and if so, to what degree are we willing to let the browser govern the content?

If you actually read it you would see they simply said "real life intervened while the chaos never slowed"

People are creating an alternate reality in their own head.
