I'm glad that we're finally realizing that we need open source alternatives for the desktop and our apps, but can we also focus on mobile devices now?
@Gina Yes! Still looking forward to the day when I can install a Linux or BSD distro on *any* phone without any hassle
@simonjust @Gina You can't do that with *any* mobile OS, open or not, and you absolutely certainly still won't for a good while. It's not a good goal to target.
You can already use it on specific well-supported devices, or work on supporting other specific devices well. That's how you can make a tangible difference today.
@simonjust @Gina Now make it drop the Halium layer and liberation will be complete:)
@simonjust @Gina Not really? It just tucks it under the carpet to be dealt with by Android.
@dos @Gina I see - like some sort of glue layer..
I like what they're trying to do but they're always going to play catch-up to whatever is happening on the Android platform. We need proper open hardware
