  • In this current timeline here in the states, I can’t see any company willing to open lines of credit for mass production due to the economy and all the other shit going on. I could see a small company bootstrapped by FOSS enthusiasts/advocates trying to answer the call though.

    Tech wise, if they follow in Graphene’s footsteps and figure out a particular phone brand to successfully install whatever Linux they provide (ie - Mobian). Be kinda cool to mail them an older phone that’s on their compatibility list and they charge for the install.

    A smart marketing campaign to get people to switch to a new OS for that phone in the drawer might be a be compelling to the nontechie crowd.






  • Humans love to be lazy when they can be, and AI is a tempting fruit on the tree. People get sold on this vague promise of a shortcut that will allow you to prioritize other things, while whichever plagarism machine arbitrarily inserts whatever code does the job.

    His response is a good example of where a developer of a large project who probably doesn’t get enough help, or just decided that lazy is better than actually doing hard work, has shut off his brain and is relying on a computer that’s incapable of coding standards that benefit the project.

    As a senior FOSS dev of nearly 25 years, AI is going to poison our industry with these types of devs enabling it’s possible demise.
