Baron Von J@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The private home listings most buyers aren’t seeingEnglish0·17 days agoNo, dude. Redlining is about banks not lending to people in a discriminatory fashion. The first sentence in your link:
Redlining is a discriminatory practice in which financial services are withheld from neighborhoods that have significant numbers of racial and ethnic minorities.
I quoted a line specifically about the home owner (a person, not a bank or a coporation) having a specific buyer in mind. Not at all the same thing. Even if the owner lists it publicly, the owner still decides to whom they sell the property. Otherwise you would have property-holding companies out there suing to force the sale to them as the highest cash bidder. Forcing a public MLS listing is regulatory capture forcing buyers and sellers to pay a commission to a middle-man when there didn’t need to be one.
HOAs can fuck off and so can you.

So? Why should they need to broadly advertise it? It’s a private property transaction. It’s not like it’s government public property.
I don’t think I’m going to be that guy, but also not one of the fanboys/haters.
Apple were pretty significant in the development of both FireWire and USB. They were also pretty crucial in driving the adoption of USB with the iMac. Most PC motherboards at the time had a set of jumpers for USB, but you had to buy the actual ports, which took up an expansion slot on the back, and connect them to the motherboard. It was a huge pain in but as the jumpers were censor-specific so had to look at all the specs and buy the right connector. Some aftermarket cases had USB ports on the front/back, but again you had to buy the right connector for your mobo. So everyone kept using serial/PS2/parallel. So peripheral makers weren’t making any devices either. When Apple released the iMac, they got rid of all of those other ports and only had USB. All of a sudden you started seeing USB keyboards, mice, CD/DVD drives, etc…
