If you haven't heard of KaiOS before, you probably think Firefox OS is entirely dead. But actually, as a fork of B2G, KaiOS has silently grown to a user base of more than 100 million people on devices from more than 10 manufacturers, making it the third most-popular mobile OS after Android and iOS now.

* kaiostech.com/meet-the-devices
* developer.kaiostech.com/

Some more steroids injected into my eye today. It's as fun as it sounds.

An old personal friend of mine has reinvented himself as a sort of woke preacher. It's telling to me that people with no previous consideration or empathy for others suddenly decide to adopt an ideological appearance in order to lecture others. I suspect a number of them on birdsite are like this.

Just over 1yr ago today. WV with my friend, about a 250 mile day trip.
