Humans are social creatures. As much as I'm a massive friggin' introvert, if I stayed at home I wouldn't get anything done. I need to go to the office and see other people, in a work environment, in order to work myself.

And at five o'clock, I need to get in my car and come home.

Haha! Australia is a full democracy? What a joke!

Australia is America's bitch. Even if our politicians gave a shit, they couldn't do anything.

I read that "hello" in James May's voice, so given that scenario I'd say neither.

Yes, but you're still just picking the lesser of two evils.

Would it be so much to ask for to have a candidate who's only redeeming quality is not that they're less shit than the opposition? The ham sandwich is less shit than Trump, but it's still not good. I'm not convinced the democratic party will be able to find someone brilliant in their own right to run for president. They'll only be able to put in someone who isn't Trump.

That's funny. I remember him saying the opposite.

Am I mistaken? Just here in response to the question of whether Kamala would make a good president, he says "Look, I wouldn't have picked vice president Trump [Kamala] to be vice president. I think she's not qualified to be president. Let's start there."

Hillary didn't lose because of Trump. She lost because she's Hillary.

You may have a point there, I'll grant you, but I'm still not sure Kamala can come out on top. I'd very much like to be proven wrong, but we might have to wait for the next debate to gauge what direction we're heading in.

As much as I don't want it to happen, I'm convinced this was the final nail in the coffin for the democrats, and the Republicans will now be guaranteed the win.

Trump was shot and is now a martyr, and the democratic party is in shambles with no nominee. If they pick Kamala, who (after mistaking her for Trump) Biden claimed was not fit to be president, Trump will just beat her into the ground like he did with Hillary. If they pick anyone else, the American population won't know who they are. Either way, the democrats are at their most fragmented while the republicans are at their most united.

But then what do I know? I live on the other side of the planet.

I've been running one with a dozen or more users on bare metal at home for the last two years. A little bit of spam but otherwise fine. No deliverability issues or anything.

Everybody in the western world wants to cry with you.

Oh won't you please take me localhost??

Sadly no, because while Android is based on Linux, it is so far removed that the kernel is wildly different. Some teams such as mobian, SFOS, postmarketOS, etc. have got fair dinkum Linux running on android devices though.

I've been daily driving a Lenovo X230 tablet for the last four years. I use Xournal++ to take notes with the pen in classes and at work. Works great!
