@mcc @jbo I was disappoint when we couldn't put widgets on the lock screen anymore. I like having my calendar in an unavoidable place so I do not forget things.

(Yes, I know about mods and widgets on the homescreen. #SailfishOS also fixes this for me.)

@JessTheUnstill @jonny Wow, this thread keeps on giving.

@deshipu @technomancy I'm not a billionaire asshole¹ so I don't know. I've also not given it much thought but if you don't expect the worst, I don't really know what to say.

Look at Jabber / XMPP²: we could have had an open protocol and a wealth of different clients but we're stuck with WhatsApp³ in most of the world and whatever the hell the US uses.

¹ just a regular one
² yes, I know XMPP still exists but who uses it?
³ try using an non-iOS or degoogled phone, see how that goes

@deshipu @technomancy If it grows and becomes popular it'll be a threat to them.

I hold no love for Facebook but they've been pretty good at identifying threats early and taking care of them. For example: Instagram and WhatsApp.

@Mehrad @drewdevault @jacksonchen666 Same for me. After reading up on the history of sign language it is understandable but it /is/ a pity.

Funny thing, there's signs for a word in one language that are offensive in another culture.

@technomancy are you with us through VPN?
