Perhaps you aren’t aware that we have a housing crisis in Australia.
Record low rental vacancies. Housing is too expensive and scarce for people on median incomes.
The people we import typically have enough money to displace those who don’t. Those who don’t end up homeless. Our politicians don’t give a fuck as many own multiple investment properties.
Excellent news for the economy, and by the economy I mean “rich people’s yachts”
Ours didn’t get to stay home, but they weren’t allowed outside at lunch the other week when it was over 40. Lucky for them the school has air con in all buildings.
Not having all the silly teenager / young adult bits of their lives documented in videos for all to see.
They can be forced to stay home when it gets too hot instead.
Dear peasants who don’t own real estate,
fuck you, got mine.
Sincerely, Politicians
I wonder if the tasks pane has been added to the new outlook yet. Last time I tried it at work it was no where to be found. I like having my flagged items next to my inbox.
I’ll try it when i get spare time. Based on post #79 in that XDA thread, it won’t work on my pixel 7 as it also won’t install 32 bit apps, same as pixel 8.
I run Graphene, but as far as I’m aware it has the same 32bit restriction.
I’ve been using this open board fork: https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard
Mainly because it comes with trace/swipe type input. Is there anything else out there that’s better and more up to date? Probably not up to modifying the above to include libraries.
I was a long term Swype user prior to getting a pixel 7, which it can’t be installed on due to it being 32bit. I’ve not found anything else FOSS or otherwise that comes close to being as good as Swype’s trace predictions. Sadly Microsoft bought the company that made Swype so the odds are it’s never going to see the light of day again. They have their shitty Swiftkey app instead.
You should have been born to wealthy parents instead of trying to pull your self up by your own boot straps.
It’s not about blaming the immigrants themselves, it’s the rate at which the government has chosen to bring them in. We can’t build housing at anywhere near that rate to accommodate them.
All that happens is those at the bottom end of the socioeconomic spectrum end up not being able to get a rental and living in their car or a tent.
Those in the next few rungs up end up with reduced standard of living also. Meanwhile the 1% laugh at us losers calling each other names and squabbling amongst ourselves instead of pointing the pitchforks at those who orchestrate it.
We have been in a per capita recession for ages. The govt avoids a technical recession with mass immigration.
Think of “the economy” as “rich people’s yachts” next time you hear a politician or bobble headed reporter talking about something (like immigration) being good for the economy.
Also an old run down house, in 2014 at the peak of the market. Barely managed to refinance a few years later without getting nailed with LMI because the property value had dropped so much. It’s really only returned to what I paid for it recently. While I empathise with people who want the real estate market to crash, realise that the people who get fucked in that scenario are those on the bottom rung of the ladder. Not the people sitting up the top.
What I want is probably impossible: static real estate prices and rising wages.
Still if I had done it differently, say bought a newer place and further out, I’d probably have cursed my commute every day instead.
That period during 2020 was the first time in ages I’d felt positive about the economy. Due to the immigration tap being turned off demand in my industry increased and pay and conditions got better.
After Labor decided to open the immigration flood gates, the shoe is obviously on the other foot again as far as employer vs employee relationships go. Pay has flat lined and conditions like WFH are getting wound back. Thank you Labor for living up to your liberal lite™ tag.
Now we have colour in the form of RGB LEDs in everything instead.
Also to be fair, we in Australia are far from being some car free utopia either.
We have heaps of car dependant urban sprawl in our major cities where the vast majority of us live. We are also adding more of this sprawl all the time.
On the plus side most of our state capital cities have got decent heavy rail networks which you can park at stations and ride.
Maybe an attempt to push more people to their app? Then they can harvest more user data which investors value.
I’ve switched to pipepipe for the time being. On fdroid.
Maybe we need a car that is low and wedge shaped, like something from battlebots. When cars high off the ground run in to it they will be guaranteed to roll.
Probably overkill but I still run an old x86 office PC I picked up cheap in an auction. Currently running Linux mint + Kodi. Really like the Kore phone app to control it.
