You’re the one who confused the issue though lol.

We want immigration paused until we can fix the housing crisis, as increasing the population by 400-500k+ per year while we have nowhere to even house a lot of the people already here is just making it worse. This is indisputable. More demand with same supply = higher prices and worse availability.

You think we’re saying immigration caused the housing crisis. We’re not. I’ve specifically told you that many times…….yet you still say that’s what we’re saying. You’re arguing in “bad faith” because you know you made a mistake but refuse to correct it.

Did you even read it? The ABS statement doesn’t go against what I said.

OAD is not net overseas migration (NOM), correct. NOM figures for 2 years ago, however, were 1500 new immigrants per day. Last year it was 1220 per day. Since we don’t have the total NOM for this year we don’t know the latest per day figures, but outside of exceptional circumstances like Covid, the OAD and NOM are closely related since the NOM is a subset of the OAD.

Also did you notice that the ABS didn’t tell us what the current estimate of NOM is, or how many are coming in per day who are on visas that mean they will be staying? Did you stop to wonder why that is?

“It’s not 1500!” but refusing to give an actual number is pretty telling. It could be 1400 which is the same as 1500 for all that matters, and the ABS aren’t lying.

And after all of that, the main point is that even if it’s only 200 per day, that’s 200 more people every day who need to find a house to live in at a time when we’re in a severe housing available crisis! Do you not see how that keeps compounding the problem?

It’s better because it basically has everything that torrent sites have, since the same groups upload everything to both, but it’s all done over SSL encrypted connections so your ISP can’t see what you’re downloading, so you don’t need a VPN and you are downloading directly from servers so it’s much faster and you don’t have to worry about the number of seeders, nor do you have to seed yourself. You have many different providers you can sign up to, and many different indexers to help find what you are looking for. It also can download parts of the same content from different sources and combine them to make a whole.

Once you’ve tried it, torrenting feels so amateur and insecure and outdated. Ideally you just set up both, which is what I have done with transmission running in a docker container with a built in VPN, but the torrents are the “last resort” when the content I want can’t be found on Usenet - which is very rarely.

Must have a very weak cpu or some other bottleneck then, as a RTX 2080 is in a whole different league to the GPU in the Steam deck’s APU - like in the 5x better range.

Linux also doesn’t help from all I’ve seen, with terrible drivers for Nvidia gpus.

Great reply, you definitely disproved the ABS’s own data.

You don’t understand the difference between Usenet and torrents.

It’s still 100% broken on the “latest” branch. Cannot add a single song/album/artist.

No, exactly what I said - does your steam deck run the games better at the same resolution as your pc with a 2080 does?

It running them “better” but at a lower resolution is an unfair comparison.

lol the ABS confirmed themselves that the NOM last fin year was >1200 per day. The year before it was ~1500 a day. You think it’s suddenly dropped down to <1000 while Labor have been stacking electorates with immigrants?

Also you missed the point and didn’t answer the question. Does increasing demand while not increasing supply affect availability and affordability?

Correct - but if you don’t comply and ever step foot in a EU country or a country that will extradite to the EU, you’re fucked. Most people hosting a Lemmy instance will shit themselves at the thought of having millions of dollars in fines and an arrest warrant against their name in a foreign country, even if they never intend on going to that country.

No one uses Lidarr and SABNZBD to download their purchased content, because that’s not how it works lol. You can’t use sabnzbd or lidarr to download from iTunes or artists directly or anything like that.

You can literally always install software no matter what defender says. Did you not know this?
