@Venator , might just be how you use it.I find Mac and Windows OS a terrible user experience, even most Linux Desk tops so I run a window manager in Linux and keep the skeleton OS to a minimum for what I use it for.I'm aware of the limitations and might have to settle with a Pixel and Graphene (mainly for the Pixel's camera) until hopefully there will be more open phones and FOSS developers come up with a more ideal OS.

    @absGeekNZ @ooo_shiny, imho Opportunity is just another way to support National, the party that made just about every single day since they took over governing nearly three years ago a bad news day - many catastrophic ones.The name opportunity reflects the parties wants, an opportunity to enrich themselves.Their policies are mostly paling in substance and accuracy to what iethe Green party has shown.In my opinion whether they reach the 5% or not it's very much a wasted vote if you want to better what's going on now.

    @BaconWrappedEnigma @Dave , the majority of politicians have a clear conflict of interest - they're either rich already going into politics or will be enriched when leaving through their actions of things they do/achieve for capitalist endeavours.They overlook that by not caring for lower and middle class and not considering the planet at all they create a world that's also poorer for themselves. Maybe that's one of the reasons they are looking for paradise elsewhere.

    @Ilovethebomb , it sounded like an accusation by you that Clark (and Key by the way) visited China celebrating the end of a time when they suffered greatly under Japan.The West seems to have forgotten that but still glorifies other atrocities.War and most military actions are a disgrace to humanity and therefore as a follow on most military vehicles/machines are not only useless to common folks but also an utter waste of money.mas.to/@anna_lillith/115159225

    @Ilovethebomb , interesting, since people seem to quote with pride the dropping of atomic bombs that are hailed as solution to end WW2 and Japanese atrocities in Asia.A little hypocrisy goes a long way.We never shy of mentioning Clark when promoting our good relations with China where economic profits are concerned.

    @Ilovethebomb , I remember her saying something about a navy vessel - 'one warning shot across the bough of an illegal fishing boost in 15 years'...I'm looking at value for the average citizen in spending - it is burning money often for things that could be substituted for much cheaper and more useful alternatives and therefore imho equals theft from'the greater good' mostly for political reasons that now also indirectly support genocide.
