    I really hate the idea that any car I buy in the future is going to come stuffed with fucky software that I don't want. Software defined car my fucking brown asshole.

    I don't want some old jalopy with a carburetor and crank windows, but there's so little benefit to the individual for all the shit that I can't imagine wanting it.

    I do my own repairs and I hate that half the time I need to get my laptop out to reset a thing, clear a code, re-initiate some shit. Pulling the battery cable off used to work for most things, but not anymore and for a long time.

    I bought the car, but they own the software? So if I want do change or repair something, I have to pay them, but if the software shits the bed, I have to pay them? Everything ends with me paying them for something I already paid for.

    Fuck that.

    Sailfish is awesome. It just doesn't work on any phones that work in north America anymore.

    Big market, but also huge barrier to entry to get a phone ecosystem off the ground. MS, Amazon, Facebook, Mozilla and many others have tried and failed. Apple and Google have huge moats
