Very Interesting, thanks!

Still I’m not sure if I would trust that system more than a handcount with at least six eyes present at all times.

Good point, thanks!

As long as the hand count is recognized as the actual result i would be fine with that.Knowing humans and our tendency to be lazy, i fear we would first reduce the redundant checks and then skip them completely. In the name of efficiency of course.

Also after witnessing the history of absolute fuckups my government (germany) produced in the field of software and IT, i don’t want them to use machines. They lost any trust i had in them with any kind of technology. Let them count and add up by hand, i’ll gladly pay extra taxes for that.

Maybe i’m just a bit to paranoid :/

Well, he’s got that one right.

Elections should be as low tech as possible. Everything going on should be verifiable with your eyes and basic tools only.

Keep it simple and keep it monitored by at least 3 to 5 people at all times.

who cares if the counting takes a few days, as long as i can trust the results.

And dear fellows in the USA, for the love of god, move the voting day to a Sunday already.

Unfortunately the software we use(d?) to transmitt and add up the votes is abysmal:

I always wondered how they stay afloat with their business model (50 €/$ upfront for lifelong updates ).
Now it looks like they can’t :(

I dislike subscriptions as much as the next guy, but for jolla it seems like a good and honest business model. They don’t have an income stream via App store fees and they won’t sell your data. Keeping the regular security and updates coming constantly burns money that needs to come from somewhere.

I would be happier if I could just purchase update packages for an entire year.

Edit:

The comments under article link to the Q&A, looks like I was to pessimistic:

Copy&pasted for your convenience:

Q: Are you considering keeping one-time-fee (perpetual) Sailfish license available?
A: Yes, we are and also based on the feedback it looks that we keep the option for a Sailfish OS (perpetual) license with fixed fee available for all supported device models. This will be offered next to the subscription model.

Q: I get the point you want to charge a subscription but would rather pay it yearly, will that be possible?
A: Yes, it will be.

Q: Will Sailfish OS and AppSupport continue working if I end my subscription?
A: Yes, we won’t be blocking the use. However, you would not receive releases, upgrades and new features.

Q: Will the Free Trial version continue? Also for newer device models?
A: Yes, we’re committed to continue offering the Free Trial license. Next additions to the Free Trial versions will be for Sony Xperia 10 IV and 10 V.

Q: What’s the plan with Sony Xperia XA2, 10, 10 II and 10 III?
A: They continue working as long as it’s technically feasible to support them. Hopefully we support them still years, like we’re used to, but eventually also those will deserve a retirement plan.

Q: Does this affect someone who already has a phone and a license? Do I need to pay subscription in the new Jolla Community Phone/C2?
A: The subscription model does not affect to one-time-fee (perpetual) licenses. The Jolla Community Phone comes with 12 months subscription included, after (and during) which you can freely choose whether to continue with the subscription model or pay a one-time-fee (perpetual) license.

Q: Accessories, screen protectors, cases?
A: Yes, we also like and need these indeed! Thanks to our partnership with Reeder this is now very feasible and relevant accessories will be added to the shop in due course - stay tuned!)

Depending on your tolerance for frustration you can daily a phone running SailfishX. But the reality of it, at least for me, is that you will be running mostly Android apps using the Android emulator.

The emulator and the relatively easy access to Android apps makes it the most promising for me.

Ich bin letztens hier drüber gestolpert, kann aber nichts näheres dazu sagen, außer dass es existiert.

Falls es Jemand schon mal testen konnte, würde ich mich über ein Review freuen.

Moment mal, Firefox bringt tatsächlich ein Feature, das ich haben will, statt der elften UI-Änderung für Hipster?

Wirklich? Was für ein großartiger Tag um lesen zu können!

Da es leider viel zu unbekannt ist, möchte ich ein wenig Werbung für RSS (Really Simple Syndication) machen.

Viele Nachrichtenportale bieten ihre Artikel immer noch als RSS-Feed an. Diese kann man mit einem RSS-Reader abonnieren und bequem lesen.

Hier ein fiktives Beispiel:

Man mag den Politikteil der Zeit, findet aber den Wirtschaftsteil der Welt besser als den der Zeit. Kombiniert man die entsprechenden Feeds in einem Ordner seines Readers, hat man sich ganz einfach seinen persönlichen Nachrichtenaggregator gebaut.

Und bei Nachrichten hört es nicht auf:

• Abonnierte Inhalte von Entertainern aus Twitch, Youtube und sonstwo in einer Übersicht anzeigen, ohne dass man überall einen Account braucht -> RSS kann das!

• Inhalte aus Subreddits und Lemmy-Communitys zusammenfassen und gemeinsam anzeigen -> RSS kann das!

• Leuten auf Twitter folgen ohne gleich einen Account anlegen zu müssen -> RSS kann das!

Die Suche nach einem RSS-Reader kann etwas anstrengend sein, daher hier die Reader, die ich benutze:

Desktop: https://nodetics.com/feedbro/ Eine Browsererweiterung für Chrome und Firefox

Handy: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.frju.flym/ Eine lokale Android-App

Und hier noch ein Video, das RSS besser erklärt, als ich es gerade auf die Reihe bekomme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7LTwnAaQ3k
