It may be, NSA-backdoor is a precondition for having Skype. Isn't it part of the reasons why Microsoft bought the Skype in the first place (and Nokia phones)? (I think it is.)

"Normal" desktop Linuxes have poor touchscreen support and applications are not designed for a touch screen UX.

Noone can trust that claim (saying) anyway, if there is closed source somewhere in the kernel (drivers) or in the UX. It has to be openly verify-able with OSS which anyone can compile from scratch...

Re: Microsoft buying Nokia's devices & services

TMO was right.
Nokia didnt listen.

Lumiaman was wrong also. MS never got it (WinCE v1 - v8) working like people wanted. WP and W8 suck.

Re: Official specs of Jolla phone surface

There is no such thing as "closed source strong crypto". Just think Microsoft. I assume, even using PGP (GnuPG) in MS Windows may be pointless.

It has relatively more open source code than Maemo ever had or Jolla Sailfish ever will.

Re: Official specs of Jolla phone surface

1 GB RAM is a big design flaw. Think of multitasking both Qt- and Android-applications at the same time. swap-memory won't save them from a bad user experience.

Re: Sailfish(Jolla): Ideas/Qns & Concerns/Criticisms

Yes, but I would say it actually IS anti-dote. It just isn't 100% working anti-dote or sometimes it takes time to work.
