@Rusty @dragonarchitect I disagree re: webOS and FirefoxOS.

#webOS failed due to lack of market penetration (there was only like 1 Tablet from #hp) and #FirefoxOS failed because @mozillaofficial didn't even offer to sell devices to folks like me and @fuchsiii that wanted one.

  • The only devices with #Firefox OS in the #EU were a few #NetLock'd #prepaid phones that got sold in Spain (reqiring ID for no valid reason!) and which were essentially useless for anyone outside of Spain.

Add to that the absurdity that #Mozilla basically expected carriers (!!) to maintain and provide the #AppStore|s themselves and you get market fracturing worse than the "P.R." #China (!!!)…

It was mismanaged and self-sabotaged in the worst possible way.

  • Similar to how #OLPC never sold the #XO1 in retail and didn't even offer the "Give one, Get one" deal in most places...

The #Duopoly of #Android & #iOS wasn't unavoidable, but an outcome of #SelfSabotage and halfassed non-commitment by competitors!

Noooooo, my #OLPC XO4 Touch shipping is not going well. Thanks, #Germany...

> Hello,

Thank you for purchasing this laptop from our store. Unfortunately, I regret to inform you that Germany has rejected the parcel as it contains a lithium battery, and it has been returned to us.

As the laptop cannot be shipped with the battery, I can either resend it without the battery or cancel the sale and issue a full refund.

Please let me know how you would like to proceed.

Thank you.

2. Retrofit the 7.5" #olpc screen into the #PocketReform. Aside from modifying the screen bezel, working out the connector may be a lot of fun.
Alternatively, use the 7" #PixelQi screen (liliputing.com/first-look-at-p), if it can be sourced (at all).
(Only if the dimensions work out - meaning, no complete case redesign.)

I know Ramy from the #OneLaptopPerChild community. He told me he has a multimedia degree from Palestine University and 10 years of experience in electronics, medical equipment, electric/hybrid cars and electric bikes, maintenance and design of electronic devices, and solar energy, CNC & 3d printing, and PC maintenance/programming. He is willing to test to show his expertise in any of these subjects. Can you help connect him with anyone that can help? 2/

Going back to #OLPC wiki.laptop.org I am reminded that after Bender and the Sugar team were kicked out, the entire wiki was scrubbed and pruned of all the volunteer user pages, including my own.

It was a kick to the face of so many volunteers who gave their time and energy toward something we all believed in, and a brick in the wall of bitterness that I now have about the intersection of capitalism and free software.

I upgraded my extremely early production #OLPC XO-1 from the very first production OS (18 ya), to the latest, just now. (I volunteered on the Firmware team)

The laptop now boots 20 times slower, and has a far worse boot-up experience.

There's a metaphor here on the state of software.

"I had an old computer that I was going to give to a family friend [...] His nine-year-old brother found out about it and wanted it for himself, so I installed the latest Sugar Learning Platform [...] He is pleased to have the same operating system (OS) used by astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) and enjoys playing Tux Kart."
