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

They're dough nuts

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

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)

Famously, London (one of the most surveilled cities in the world), is completely crime free

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 :)
