I feel like I'd be detained for saying I'm only on the fediverse

create problem, offer to fix problem if you pay... seems kind of like extortion, or in the very least abuse of monopoly powers

this is why you need preferential voting, if the party that wins can see they won but on the 2nd, 3rd etc preference they can look at the party platforms that were preferred and then know where they need to go in the future to steer their platform and gain more first preferences

That is how it works here in Australia

I honestly dont know what would drive a Windows refugee to choose such a niche and likely unable to support them distro.

I get the impression a lot of people think that framework are a lot bigger than they actually are, in reality they are not much more than a start up

I was sold a device (pixel) that runs the software I want, if Google is taking that away, Google should offer to buy back my phone. Without Fdroid or control of my device its no longer fit for purpose

All I really need is calls, sms, a solid browser and some more robost messaging apps like signal and matrix/element - I'm a prime candidate for PostmarketOS if we ever get a stable piece of hardware. I have an old oneplus 6 that I've played with it on, its so close. If a flip phone could master that today, sure

I do use tap to pay, but meh I dont think I would miss it and android auto in my car could easily just be a bluetooth audio connection

I'm not sure why google is over engineering this, proper mainline distros have this solved since forever. Let the community setup trusted repos with gpg keys, then let me trust the repos. If Fdroid trusts the package and I trust Fdroid, who should care?
