To me their software story is compelling. To use the wording of the article, I like that I can be a weirdo running Linux on a laptop and not be a fringe use case. I had no interest in either of their supported distros but their support forums had the necessary hints needed to get a different distro up and running (plugging in newer firmware from the Linux kernel git).
I like that they’ve given some support to the FreeBSD community and I’d like to run that on a future Framework.
OTOH Victoria schoolchildren used to do cross border field trips. They ended the practice during the Trump Muslim ban to avoid trauma to kids.
On the other hand some of these elections are won by narrow margins. Most Trump voters didn’t sign up for pain (not personally, they only voted to harm others). Pain may influence their votes in the future or motivate their legislators to contain the executive branch.
Seems like this project offers a lot of what I had to cobble together. Nice work. I like that it offers encrypted notifications although I don’t use Android so not ready for me yet. I don’t like the Google dependency.
