This is a really valid point, especially because it’s not only faster but dramatically cheaper.

The thing is, summaries which are pretty terrible might be costly. If decision makers are relying on these summaries and they’re inaccurate, then the consequences might be immeasurable.

Suppose you’re considering 2 cars, one is very cheap but on one random day per month it just won’t start, the other is 5x the price but will work every day. If you really need the car to get to work, then the one that randomly doesn’t start might be worse than no car at all.

Lots of people do lots of things.

I have a second sim card for my phone. I just turn off that sim when I’m not working, and set my status as away for group chat.

In this context, there isn’t any tangible benefit to having a second phone.

Having two phones absolutely sucks. Didn’t work for me at all.

My opinion doesn’t mean much since it’s been forever since I tried any other distro but I’m surprised Debian isn’t on the beginners list.

it might be a bit too involved for an absolute beginner to configure to perfection

I’m not really sure what this means? It might be more accurate to say it’s not the best distro if you’d like to tinker with your desktop experience.

Notably, nothing on the beginners list ought to be run as a headless server, but debian is perfect for that job. The reason I’ve become so enamoured with debian over the years is that I can use it on my desktop and on servers and it’s the same system - everything is exactly where I’m used to it being.

We’re not talking about letting anyone in.

These two were working towards becoming citizens. They were already here.

I don’t have any interest in insulting you… and pretty much just too lazy to read your comment history.

I can’t speak for other Australians, bit I’m fascinated by US politics. It’s an absolute shit show and it serves as a cautionary tale for the rest of the world I think.

As to why we’re passionate about supporting biden… this is just supposition but:

Firstly voting in Australia is compulsory, so the idea of voting even if you’re not really enamoured with the options is more palatable. That said, we do have preferential voting so it’s not really the same.

Secondly the US is a close ally. US international policies are in many ways our own defacto policies. In some ways we would be burdened by a trump presidency.

Thirdly, and this is probably more “me” than Australians in general but I strongly believe that most conservative voters here are voting against their own interests for the wrong reasons, yet we seem to be leaning further and further to the right like everywhere else. I see criticism of Biden more or less the same way. They may be valid concerns but you still need the guy to win.

Perhaps I’m mis-remembering account names, but it seems like every comment from you is trying to undermine progressive votes.
