@datarama i guess an objective data point that current tech industry objectives are misaligned with our digital welfare is the difficulty of using python to build games and other small apps on mobile.
There is #kivy and #beeware, so its in-principle doable but going against the grain of these platforms and their "preferred", "first class" stacks
Which is a pity. Given how stuffed mobiles are with sensors one could imagine all sorts of fun (if not useful) projects in the spirit of #raspberrypi
