It’s a reference to The Mythical Man Month and (I believe) one of the parables told inside:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month

This exact situation played out during the last coalition, where the compromise was a vote on it (because changing the method of voting without a clear mandate is unlikely to be popular) and once again everyone voted to keep FPTP, which was painful to watch.

The Lib Dems basically gave away their negotiating power in the coalition agreement for nothing but an expensive failed attempt to change from FPTP.

Note: “exact” isn’t accurate as it would be different parties but it would still be an incumbent relic of two party politics vs a less well funded party.

The vacuum of space

Check the ears

From the images, which I assume are concept art rather than an actual debice, no it does not appear to have one. I’ve preordered myself as that’s not a deal-breaker but it is disappointing, perhaps they will do something with the USB socket to allow it

Please bear in mind this is anecdotal.

I own a C2 (the community device that’s currently on back order), I also had the 1st gen phone way back when.

The 1st gen phone was great, I loved it. I wasn’t really a smart phone officiando, I could do my emails and some other stuff and side load a few android apps if I really wanted. I then went to android for a few years and the app support (and eco system) is great, lots of diversity.

Then I tried to go back to the C2 (which is where I am now). The OS is still a joy to use, has lovely gesture control etc, but the hardware is a bit slow and the whole phone feels a tad unresponsive as a result. I’ve signed up to the new phone hoping this will solve that issue.

Honestly Jolla phones aren’t for beginners. They won’t run banking software (thanks to the banks not providing the apps), so I will continue to carry an old Android around as a second device for this purpose. I am trying to persevere because I believe a Linux phone is possible and Jolla/Sailfish seems like the closest to reality at the moment (please feel free to disagree, respectfully, in replies to this).

They’re dough nuts

Time for a weekend away at Hilbert’s Grand Hotel, methinks.

The €100 budget might be broken but I’m running a Pironman5 with a Pi5 16gb and an SSD and it’s a solid server.

One thing to bear in mind is that SD cards are very bad at constant writes so I’d recommend any heavy write processes write to the SSD drive (databases, file storage etc). I use it for several things including as a build server - running Gitea as a Podman image.

You can probably save some money by using the smaller RAM Pi5s but I have no complaints about mine, and building the case was a fun exercise.

Best of luck with your project.

Honestly I haven’t tried, so that’s possibly on me. But also I don’t want it on there, who knows what that app does, it’s at best suspicious, imho. I have a “dirty” phone with all the big tech stuff on, but at a pinch I can make it go online using my “clean” phone as a tether, but I’m trying to wean off the data harvesting apps like WA, Instagram etc

No, I think they support others too. However I have the Jolla C2:

I’m currently trying to switch to using my Sailfish Phone full time. Unfortunately the way I’m having to do this is by keeping my old android about to run WhatsApp (because I can’t get friends and family onto something that also runs on Sailfish, which is basically Matrix or nothing as far as I can tell). It’s not great tbh, but I really like the idea of Sailfish (or Ubuntu touch).

The Dalvik layer (which runs the Android sandbox) is ok, it runs some stuff but not everything and anything “security dependent”, forget it, so Banking and messaging won’t be supported, that being said the moment I find a bank that supports Sailfish, I will switch to that bank in an instant.

(Ps. If anyone has anything to refute any of my statements here, like a good messaging app or banking, then please correct me, I want to be wrong)

Help! Something sensitive is stuck in a cylinder and I need to get it out…

You’re being a bit hard on yourself. Words (and other things) change over time, misunderstanding things isn’t shameful, only failing to adapt to new information is.

Have a blessed Friday :)

I’m going to assume this question was asked in good faith. Speech is a synonym for expression. The written word is also not technically speech but is very much included in the term “Free Speech”.

It’s not just this, other policies he had were not popular with the New Labour element (which was essentially a lurch to the right, economically), which also helped to sow the discontent and dis-unity in the party during his election campaigns. The Israel thing is just the largest front they all attacked him on so it’s an easy turn to be able to say “well we’re denouncing genocide for one thing”. I suspect a more thorough policy stance will be more forthcoming.

Sadly, I think the UK is too stuck atm, with it’s FPTP and (basically) two party system to be able to get a significant dent in the number of Labour MPs, however a show of support for (what I imagine will be) more social leaning policies might help to drag Labour back to the left a bit.

Haven’t stepped foot in one since 2016, with one exception where I went for a piss and run, can’t say being there brought back fond memories, bit depressing if anything.
