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.

I just found my beloved #N900. Could any of the good people at #pine64 or #librem think about shipping their mobile devices with cool and useful keyboards like in the N900?

Just saw this in reddit.com/r/rugbyunion/

from the comments:
"The Anglo-Portuguese alliance is widely considered to be the longest lasting alliance still in force today, and a great symbol of a centuries-old friendship stretching back to the 1300s. The Portuguese national anthem is about... fighting the English."

"Even the world not in union is in union about this. The entirety of America, Oceania and Africa can unite around this noble cause."

#england #rugby #sixnations #6nations

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.

I feel you #AesopRock, I feel you. #lottayears #old

Finally dipping my toes to the murky waters of #programming with the help of online #java #beginner course.

Primarily doing this cause I feel its one of the essential skills and I should at least have some knowledge of it. Secondly I hope it might take me to new places.

Oi! @Jami !
If I could be so rude and request that you fine people might take the trouble and push some newer versions of your wonderful communications tool to the #Fdroid? Pretty please?

#ElChalten was a pretty place. Too bad rest of the world has heard it aswell and the trails were packed. Thank you #Patagonia and #TierraDelFuego, today we are off to #BuenosAires.

I would love to use #ring (fdroid) with few of my friends but the damn thing insist on feasting on my phones battery. Unusable for me right now.

I can feel the hype. I am the hype. https://help.nextcloud.com/t/testers-needed-nextcloud-social-federating-with-activitypub-and-diaspora-social-networks/42813

Came across this randomly. World Chase Tag looks like a lot of fun. Spatial awareness these guys have is amazing. Let alone the control and acceleration.. I wouldnt fare well in this sport. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgWBm5ud20Y #worldchasetag #wct #tag #parkour

Yes, yes. Just like the little green men few years back? Had nothing to do with #Russia or with #Putin those. Nope. None. https://media.giphy.com/media/3o7btT1T9qpQZWhNlK/giphy.gif

My pathetic little #nextcloud is upgraded and all is well. Even got A+ rating on their security scanner. Yay!

If you, too, need a guide to install nextcloud, that takes your hand and never let's you down, use this https://www.c-rieger.de/nextcloud-installation-guide-debian-stretch/ Carsten is one of those heroes we don't deserve. Thanks a lot Carsten o>

Based on the inactivity of the governments of the west, has the actions Xi Jinping and BsM proven that #humanrights have monetary value?

#Argentina you beauty. Even if #MbS would be safe behind diplomatic immunity it would at least look like someone is doing something. Unlike the self acclaimed human rights defenders of the west who are defending dictators like MbS and #XiJinping by doing nothing.

So #JoeSchmidt is going then. #irfu will loose a great man and #allblacks just won #rugbyworldcup2023. Lets just ponder the possibility of #StuartLancaster might work "under" #AndyFarrell.. #rugby is weird.
