   @dysfun I'm still miffed at them for abandoning B2G (boot-to-gecko). It was so promising and then they dropped it and now there's a somewhat successful closed source Chinese commercial product built on top of the remains (KaiOS) which paints a what could have been if Mozilla cared enough to keep the thing going.

     @Polychrome @dysfun having been there while that was happening, unfortunately it was fucked from the start because they let mobile carriers call the shots and the carriers wanted dirt-cheap devices so the user experience was awful on the phones that actually managed to ship.

     @tedmielczarek @dysfun yeah I have the orange Alcatel one and it looks adorable but is otherwise barely usable.
