What was GNU Hurd?
A kernel made by GNU
I'd argue that MAGA was successful for its true purpose. It is a slogan that perfectly encapsulates a reactionary mindset. Actually improving America is secondary.
Improving USAmerikkka wasn't even the intention anyway. It was just improving the lives of white people, mostly just rich white people, with a few crumbs and a lot of racist thinking handed down to the poor white people.
Windows phone had an AR maps app ahead of its time. That app was good.
It's the windows way. Have some good ideas but completely fail in any other regard.
I believe there is a fork of Firefox OS made for flip phones.
yep, it's call KaiOS. It's an alternative + symbolic successor of Symbian.
It doesn't seen to be open source. Which is a damn shame and definitely not Mozilla's vision for their project.
It's very sad, only the core, a fork of B2G, is open (MPL).
See, this wouldn't be a problem if they used GPL. The issue is that MPL stipulates that the modified files must be open source, while the GPL says that any derivative work must be open source.
The same problem happens with the trademarks. That is one of the reasons to rebranding the mozilla products in FOSS projects (GNU Icecat, Iceweasel, etc.)
Even with Rust.
