It's less about India and more about Usanai where urban sprawl is all the rage which makes wiring it impossible… and capitalist-driven-development doesn't help.

It's mindbogling how ignorant people are when it comes to how the EU is structured and how it works ;(

You are mixing it with Council ;) Yeah, EU setup is absurdly convoluted but it's simply a result of the consensus that tires to balance difference sources of power (the people and the countries). Ideally the whole EU population should

Hmm… my memory may not be the best but apart from WinAmp almost every other app kinda stuck to the OS? ;o

I'm still on one of those forums and find it very… comforting. The discussions and topics are (absurdly) in-depth. Poeple are actually interested in what they are commenting on and it's not too "crowdy" so you somewhat g

I like the customization of the OS but I hate when the app developers are feeling creative and can't fit into (my OS of choice) Look&Feel :/

Hard disagree. For me quircles make finding the desired app way more difficult…

What is the most annoyig is that the effin' rest of the world had to follow and embrace this stupid trend :/ Luckily on Android and Linux I can select custom icon sets that can have shapes…

From more devops-ish perspective: I would love for PostgreSQL to finally have in-place upgrade between (successive) major versions. Most distros can handle the annoying quirk of having older+newer version to run `pg_upgrade` but when using

I lost train of thought :D in the end I went with the surgery and now I'm in recovery. Sadly 4-5 years of trying lots of PT/streaching/pull-ups/push-ups/whatnot didn't help and only made things worse :(

I had issues with my shoulder for years. Tried PT as well as pull/push-ups but doing that made the pain worse (if I wasn't doing any exercises involving the shoulder it was "fine")…

Nah. But for the supposed "privacy" you swap one "dumb pipe" for another pipe, which you have no clue about its operations beyond "trust me bro". Of course they may behave with good intentions and actually keep

I got first Jolla Phone ages ago, wanted to love it but in the end I disliked it bebause of gesture-oriented UI (it simply didn't 'click' for me and was annoying to use in the long run). Right now I'm more excited about

I kinda wish NemoMobile would be default UI… current SailfishUI with force gestures is (for me) highly annoying…

Huge problem (for me) with SaifishOS is… annoying UI. I know that a lot of people swear by swipe navigation but it's just darn inconvenient and imprecise (or rather - require a lot of precission to select desired option)… I tried to ge
