First it was #librem5 that would bring us #gnulinux #mobile. Then we get news of #pinephone and now Im reading how some finnish company #necunos is also bringing their own device running #kdeplasma.Is this a dream? Am I awake? Future is amazing.

@cwebber oh my beloved N900. I still have mine (with broken USB, of course). I need a keyboard on my phone.But yeah, you're right about the risk of fragmentation. Fingers crossed that we get couple phones running gnulinux.

@drequivalent @cwebber there was a lot of talk about why #nokia ditched #maemo and how that might've been the last nail to their coffin. I remember one of the nokias big fishes being really upset about it. I was upset about it, that's for sure.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote putting the technical side (how to actually organize the vote) on the side for the minute, who can tell me why plurality voting is still more widely used than single transferable voting?To me, this seems like the best way to do the whole democracy thing. Your vote wouldn't feel so wasted.#singletransferablevoting #democracy #poll

@byllgrim @vercingetorix @Wolf480pl the main advantage, to me, is how voters can more freely vote for minority options as well. When you get to choose more than one candidate it feels like your vote is worth something.

@byllgrim @vercingetorix @Wolf480pl and I think talking about how fucked up the media and other things, like money in politics, (in some countries) are is not the actual topic. Why isn't "STV" more widely used?

@byllgrim that might be one of the reasons, yeah. I wish I could post you the link, but I read a longer thing on the threats to democracy and one was complacency. How democracy is seen as already somehow perfect, no need to try and better something that is already just fine.

@rysiekHah! You have had exactly the same phones that I have had. XA2 has some screen problems though (purple spots). Any luck flashing #sailfish using gnulinux?

@rysiek Yeah. I did the same but had no luck. Usb-hub, old PC, new PC nothing worked. Installed lineage os 16 instead. I have no windows machines around.

@rysiekIf I wasnt Finnish I'd say "you'll be alright. I'm sure it'll be fine." But the way I see it you might want to brace for the impending disappointment. Do tell me if you manage to flash it. I'd love to do it as well.

@jwildeboerLatest massacre in #Europe done by bigots and racists. Now that the #racism and divide between us and them is on the rise again in europe we should never forget our past failures.http://galerija110795.ba/ cant recommend this museum/memorial enough.

@freemoI salute you sir for your patience! It must be exhausting being as paranoid and angry as @youknowitstrueDo you mind telling me reasons why you oppose universal healthcare? Here it works pretty well.
