Unfortunately our social democrats are in favor of chat control too, it was Ylva Johanssons idea to begin with.

I was thinking more about legal actions. But then again torrents need trackers and search sites. It seems like it's hard to shut down pirate bay though. I just have a feeling that usenet flies under the radar a bit, but if it became mainstream, it might be easier to shut down a server than a shifting swarm of peers?
Doesn't this also mean that the server can be a single point of failure? Whereas in a torrent swarm it's distributed and more resilient?
As a swede, what about the picture is different to what you are used to in America?
Yes, true. But then you need to carry an extra device. I know it's just inconvenience.
A little bit yes, since the BankID is owned by private companies. There are those who are working on a free software version and some people think that the government should have an official authentication app free from private interests. But it's been hard to make people aware and care about these issues. It's like the xkcd worlds smallest open source violin. At the same time, many things that relate to proving that I am me has become very convenient in this society. For example I moved to a new apartment and they just sent a link to the contract and I signed it with the app and that was that, I did my taxes by just checking that the info they had was correct and signed it on my phone, etc.
In Sweden many parts of society requires an app called BankID. We authenticate getting mail packages, sign contracts, book a time in health care, etc with this app. It's needed everywhere. Buying a bus ticket. A phone without this app is not sufficient to function in swedish society.
They don't seem to have any supported devices apart from community contributions?
"These are the most supported devices, maintained by at least 2 people and have the functions you expect from the device running its normal OS, such as calling on a phone, working audio, and a functional UI.
Besides QEMU devices, this is currently empty."
What does Mint bring that makes you choose it over Debian on the desktop?
Beginning of the end should mean that it's still part of the end, just, the beginning of it, like "början på slutet". To me "startslutet" sounds like the end of the start.
"If at least one of them never did what you proposed I’ll eat my hat.".
The way this is phrased means that if there is 1 or more who never did it, you will eat your hat.
They also have the CMF for 359 euro, you don't have to get the expensive one.
