2016-06-25 21:40:47 @kido https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11977267 :) many people should be coming 2016-06-25 22:27:48 @kido hi imaleaf 2016-06-25 22:28:40 @kido interested in asteroid ? :) 2016-06-25 22:29:10 imaleaf hey all. just listening in for a bit. :] project caught my curiosity (though I have a gear s2, not a usable device now/ever) 2016-06-25 22:33:22 @kido cool ! feel free to idle as much as you want. Indeed someone tried to port asteroid to the gear s2 but he couldn't find the apropriate defconfig 2016-06-25 22:35:25 imaleaf I'm not sure if one can even root that device yet. I got discouraged developing it when it took me weeks to get a dev key out of samsung xD 2016-06-25 22:35:32 imaleaf *developing for it 2016-06-25 23:36:01 @kido imaleaf: yes tizen isn't known for its openness 2016-06-25 23:36:12 @kido hi zoo and torkelatgenet ! 2016-06-25 23:37:46 @kido the problem with tizen is that it is open source but not free, samsung doesn't care about the community 2016-06-25 23:56:20 imaleaf yes, the devices themselves are incredibly locked down. too bad, given the webapp nature itself is very easy in theory to develop for; but I've seen enough shortcomings with the system overall that I don't feel there's much I'd miss if I left it behind :] 2016-06-25 23:56:53 imaleaf there's no way to simply make a new distro of tizen and expect it to actually run 2016-06-25 23:58:33 imaleaf my eventual hope is to see open hardware devices or at least more open ones. so seeing this os project caught my eye; it seems built in a similar way to sailfish etc.
