  • Fairphone Is Finally Selling Its Repairable Phone in the US

    Jump

  • This is news to me, how were they hostile?

    I would think they'd be happy if others also implement security features

  • Fairphone Is Finally Selling Its Repairable Phone in the US

    Jump

  • While that is true yes, their whole brand is built on being secure.

    If they release to Fairphone it won't be long before the news is flooded with "Police easily bypass supposedly secure GraphoneOS"

    And that's not a look they'd want.

    I like their stance on All or Nothing.

    Motorola is shipping with GraphineOS soon.

  • Is this just Linux propaganda, or how much of it is true?

    Jump

  • I daily Linux, have for 18 months, but this feels one sided.

    Linux has been great, but it's not been without issues.

    Does Linux really perform better with not dropping low frames?

  • It wasn't just written by AI, it was badly written and quoting sources that don't exist

  • As a South African this confused the shit out of me at first.

    I thought it was the hateful political party the Economic Freedom Fighters, who chant things like "Kill the Boer" at their rallies

  • What is your preferred form of proportional representation, and why?

    Jump

  • Is there only one winner in this system?

  • What is your preferred form of proportional representation, and why?

    Jump

  • That's first past the post.

    And that leads to strategic voting, and winner takes all.

    Which concentrates way too much power

  • What is your preferred form of proportional representation, and why?

    Jump

  • Ranked choice should solve this.

    If you vote for 5 left wing parties, with the last one being one you know isn't going to get eliminated, then your vote still goes to the left

  • What is your preferred form of proportional representation, and why?

    Jump

  • Ok fair, I didn't read all the details, and too lazy to go through all those links to understand them and pick my favourite.

    Which ever one doesn't lead to stratigic voting and concentration of power.

  • What is your preferred form of proportional representation, and why?

    Jump

  • Ranked choice voting.

    Along with eliminating anyone with less than ~2%

  • EU Commission bans top officials from using Signal groups

    Jump

  • Sounds great, I didn't know about that

  • EU Commission bans top officials from using Signal groups

    Jump

  • Sounds like a decentralized encrypted messaging platform is needed.

    And when you need the highest trust, you just need to make sure you and the people you are talking to are all on trusted servers.

    so governments would use their own gov.eu server or something, and only communicate sensitive info to others on that network so the info never leaves that server
