  • For those wondering what the article is about.

    For generations, owning a house on a modest block of land has been idealised as both the ultimate marker of success and a gateway to a better life.

    It’s an aspiration that has wormed its way into the country’s identity, helping to shape modern Australia.

    From the so-called “Ten Pound Poms” in the 1950s to the current boom in skilled workers moving from India, waves of migrants have arrived on Australia’s shores in search of its promise. And many found it.

    But for current generations the dreams proffered to their parents and grandparents are out of reach.

    After decades of government policies that treat housing as an investment not a right, many say they would be lucky to even find a stable, affordable place to rent.

    “The Australian Dream… it’s a big lie,” Mr Dowswell says.




  • It’s interesting but I’ve not had any performance issues running Kodi on anything from a fire tv to a Chromecast to windows to Linux (Ubuntu). I don’t run a ton of plugins but the ones I do work almost flawlessly most of the time.

    I will say that a couple of years ago I moved to using the jf server connected to Kodi and that seems to be the best of every world. I get the Kodi interface (jf didn’t have themes and it is still really unintuitive to me) and I get a single repository for my multiple clients.

    All of this is to say that perhaps Kodi isn’t as bad as you think it is just because you had some issues with your install.
