@fu @nsarwark Nick has a secret double life as an underground DJ and accidentally posted under the wrong account.
This is now canon.

@aral so you prefer they simply not make a phone? Or that they take an absurd amount of VC money to try and enter an owned market?
I understand and agree Google sucks, but so does child labor. They can't do magic, they've got to get customers first and the market (including myself) is ignorant and lazy. We either like Coke or Pepsi. We aren't switching to RC Cola.

@aral what are they supposed to do? "Hey, buy our phone and lose access to all the apps you use!" isn't a great sales pitch.
I'm sure many on Mastodon will say shit like "Bro just unbuntu the distro to sideload the Unix you idiot" or whatever the fuck, but y'all are the minority. Most people just want a phone that works with minimal hassle, not to get an associate degree in computer science just to be able to play Candy Crush.

@emilygorcenski sarcasm?

I'm 41 and I never could read the cursive of my older relatives despite learning it in school.
Maybe scribbles just aren't the best form of written communication?
