That is some incredibly r3tarded troll logic you're showing here.

I.e., let me rephrase: "I can't buy good steak at the supermarket anymore, so to spite the damned argibusiness I will from now on only eat fermented dog turds and cocaine".

I'll nurse my N900s for as long as I can, and then transition to Android.

It's too depressing for words.

Actually, once you get used to the taste, fermented dog turds are not that bad. However, I'd stay away from the cocaine...

That depends.

The most annoying and wrong-headed thing about MeeGo is their promotion of Qt as the preferred (and sometimes 'required') native toolkit.

Linux-with-Qt-required isn't Linux, it's a travesty.

If it's Linux, I want all the toolkits -- Qt, GTK, SDL, ncurses.

Note that I've got nothing to say about Tizen yet. If they allow any toolkit to be installed, like a proper Linux OS, then more power to them for doing everyone a service.

If Tizen is another locked-down, HTML5-only appstore toy, then they can go die in a fire for all I care.

Not good enough!

^

Is it possible to write html5-apps without some platform-specific javascript framework? I know Qt will never be supported on android/iOS but I wonder where the incentive is to support open standards when it comes to web apps.

**** like this makes me throw my hands up in disgust.

The dream of FOSS for a mobile OS is in ruins now. This just goes to prove that anything on this scale is just not possible on a community level. We are at the whims of the big boys, and they don't care a whit about FOSS.

HTML5? That's a web technology. It isn't something that you write all applications in. For Linux to be strong, it needs a common API. If Qt isn't there, that's shot all to hell.

Hey, if you want Linux to continue to be a second-class citizen, go ahead and promote multiple frameworks that basically do the same thing.

i see your point, and i speak as a KDE/Qt fan, but i liked that Meego was heavily focussed on Qt.

that said:

Totally agreed.

Sounds like a load of horse dung to me. It looks like the N900 will have to live forever......
