[12:09] popey: does this kind of thing pee you off as much as it does me? (the repeated unsubstantiated claims that "our phones are abandoned") https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg23540.html [12:36] good read: http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/style/2017/02/16/how-weird-al-eclipsed-almost-every-star-he-ever-parodied/ [12:39] how much of that is down to just outlasting them all? [12:50] diddledan: they have a point [15:32] i was thinking the other day [15:32] what if ubuntu edge got funded, and 2.5 years after delivery the OS was in the state it is now [15:33] how much do you think people would be complaining then? [15:34] at least the ubuntu phones that did get released were relatively inexpensive [16:04] an interesting thought [16:05] I think that maybe the boost of income from the edge may have pushed the development a little harder [16:14] Maybe. [16:15] Maybe that would have spurred us to hire more people [16:15] Maybe not. No way to tell. [16:20] i read that 99.6%of phones are androidios [16:20] they're android or ios, indeed [16:20] gonna be quite difficult breaking in to that market now [17:07] if microsoft can't crack the smartphone market, i don't see canonical doing it [17:31] to be fair microsoft are notoriously bad at entering new markets [17:31] they'll try and fail for years, then apple does it first try [17:31] or sometimes the second try [18:58] you have to hand it to microsoft though, if you don't they'll send someone around to sue you for it... :-P [20:58] https://www.humblebundle.com/gift?key=hm4wk76Nv5bc62sN [Steam link for gifted The Stanley Parable if wanted].
