Who was the genius at Apple and Google that collectively decided that smartphones will NOT HAVE: <br>

- a tripod bushing to fit a standard tripod and every other similar device made since.... dirt. like every other camera I have ever owned or collected. <br>
- a shutter button you can find.<br>
- a eyelet for a wrist-strap to avoid dropping the darn thing over a cliff while groping for the non-existent shutter button.<br>
- some kind of little ridge for your fingers to help grip the darn thing, like every other camera I have used in the last 20 years. <br></blockquote></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>+1 for each point.</div><div><br></div><div>At least no one has taken pictures of ghosts (<a href="https://xkcd.com/1235/" target="_blank">https://xkcd.com/1235/</a>) with a smart(?)phone.</div><span class=""><div><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><blockquote>

I'm wondering if there's a GPL v. 3.1 with a clause like "this can't be run on a system that relies on closed source, proprietary software for it's basic operation".<br>

I guess the sledgehammer wielding savior of the servants of the computer overlords has, as Orwell made plain, become "more equal" and now rules the animal farm.<br>

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
