It’s still a 13 year old phone. Is this really usable today? Also, Maemo was awesome but today, without android emulation a phone will be just a toy, not a daily driver. I think Titan is closer to something usable but I think it’s not easy to run custom ROMs on it.
I had N900 like 12 years ago. My favorite phone ever but even 12 years ago the connection speeds were terrible. I still don’t understand why we don’t have modern PDAs like Zaurus or phones like N900. All the kickstarter projects are crazy expensive and limited in functionality. Just give me modern N900 god dammit!
I don’t use zig but a lot of people do. It’s good enough for a lot of people. Shitting on it is simply immature so I replied with immature cliche.
Oh, I see what’s going on here.
I live in Europe so I’m looking at this from European perspective. While I think I don’t live in a completely just society I think it’s pretty good, it can be improved and I would like for it to survive. So I think Europe should have weapons and we should have best engineers possible working on them. While their weapons are sometimes used for immoral things I don’t blame the engineers for it.
You’re looking at this from American perspective. You think your society is evil and it should be destroyed. You don’t think it should be able to defend itself at all and all engineers helping to preserve it are morally corrupt.
You’re looking at this from a perspective or a Nazi engineer in 1938 while I’m looking at it from a perspective or a Polish engineer in 1938.
So you’re taking the most extreme case and applying it to all arms companies while I treat as… well… extreme case.
I have a friend in Poland that works for a company providing components for weapon manufacturers. Some components they make were found in Gaza. Do I think he’s immoral and should quit? No, I think those components are necessary to protect Poland from Russia and I don’t think Poland should be destroyed. He can’t decide were those components will end up. Would I say the same about Israeli engineer? No.
It’s really not that complicated. We have two “issues”.
There is an easy solution to both: don’t make weapons. That’s a stupid solution because if your country doesn’t have any weapons it will be invaded by other country and innocent people will die.
You know this easy solution is stupid so you say we should only “reduce” the number of weapons. But this doesn’t solve any issues. Engineers still make weapons and those weapons can still be used to kill innocent people. You just saved some money which is completely different topic entirely.
So now you’re stuck in a loop claiming that your stupid solution will solve issue 2 (which it won’t) while ignoring issue 1 entirely.
The real “solution” is to not use weapons to kill innocent people. “Issue” 1 is not an issue at all. Engineers making weapons are necessary. “Issue” 2 has to be solved by the entire country by electing better politicians. Engineers don’t have more power here than farmers or doctors.
Obviously.
I have literally no idea what kind of point you think you’re making.
I can see that. Let me explain that in even simpler way.
You say:
Me: Making guns.
You: “Engineers making guns bad! Make less guns!”
Me: Make 1 gun instead of 3.
US Army: Take 1 gun and kill brown children.
You: “Engineers making guns bad!”
I say:
Me: Making guns.
US Army: Takes guns and kills brown people.
Me: Army bad!
P.S. I don’t work for arms company. I was just making a point.
You do realize that if you “reduce” spending you will still have arms companies making weapons and engineers will work for them? I don’t think it’s that complicated…
You spend a lot on weapons. If you reduce it you will spend less on weapons but you will buy some weapons.
Like imagine you’re spending $100 a week on alcohol. You decide it’s bad for you and you reduce it. Now you’re only spending $30 on alcohol. You’re still buying alcohol. You spend less but you still buy it so someone will still make it.
Hope that helps.
It’s trickling down! Finally!
Great, so let’s disarm unilaterally. I’m sure Russia and China will do the same.
Such a childish take…
Where did you get my desire for blood from? All I’m saying is that the same arms companies make weapons that fall in Gaza and that protect Europe. You can’t have one but not the other. It’s up to politicians to decide how to use those weapons, not engineers.
There will still be people working for arms companies. All of them will deserve hell?
The good guys. Define them as you like.
Here’s a great idea: let’s not produce any weapons and disarm unilaterally. What could go wrong?
Investors are already gambling with this money. Companies sold their rights to refunds to other companies for fraction of the value. Banks bought it and are now waiting for Trump to pay them. One of investors is the son of US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick.
