Today 10 years ago I went to Poland to buy a Phone with pre installed #Firefox OS on. The Phone was a Alcatel One, so very shitty. Two years later I installed Firefox OS on my Nexus 5 instead.

It was a very good concept, but sadly rolled out on too shitty hardware so it never caught on.

This reminds me... What happened to Sailfish?

I also had a Sailfish phone, but someone broke into my appartment and stole it together with other electeonic devices. I alwaydös wanted to know what happened when they tried to sell it :D

Thief had an epiphany and became a Linux kernel committer.

I once had a very unique camera stolen. I expected the thief won't know what the fuck it is so it'll show up on a classified nearby; so I asked the local photography community to keep an eye out. A couple weeks later I was notified that that kind of camera is for sale in the town over. I went to look as a potential buyer with cops following me, and got it back.

Not exactly an answer to your question, but it does discuss Sailfish a little and is pretty interesting: https://youtu.be/HzCMKbhK-EY
