Is it too late to try to get something started? in c/modular@lemm.ee

Since there were responses I was going to post a mobile setup I've been working on, but life happened and the project stopped temporarily. Didn't mean to bump and run so I wanted to stop in and say I will be posting something soon--I'm not just stirring the pot ;-)

Just wondering if anyone still checks this community since it's been nearly a year since the single post.

Google pays $93M to settle Android tracking lawsuit in California in c/android

The ratio does matter. The fine is supposed to be a punishment/disincentive, but when that disincentive is less than trivial it no longer disincentivizes. Like a crime punishable by a $250 fine--the working class will follow the law because that's three days' but the rich won't care because it's a glass of wine at a decent restaurant. Google will simply pay the fine with no reason or intent to stop the questionable behavior because they'll just pay the trivial fine again when they get caught--just like they've been doing for years...
