Marketing has regressed back to the Flash era.https://www.braxtech.net/open-slateOn this site: a LOADING animation with a percent-done display for a few seconds. Then the not-a-brochure-as-an-app does literally nothing but demand my email address to tell me later what they're selling.

@jeremiah @progo Donald and Elon, not perfect but the best by far. Ron may not be perfect but I appreciate his attempts to fight the future.

@progo @jeremiah Ron Braxman, tablet with physical connectivity toggles, Ron's videos on privacy, Big Tech & Govt which thinks your privacy is optional /a joke.It made sense in my mind ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Tommeee @jeremiah oh okay. This is the first I've heard of this brand -- a Slashdot story linked to the above URL.So I guess this is like the YouTube phone reviewer who's making a magnetic clip-on blackberry keyboard and a standalone blackberry this year. Except their marketing material is more competent and enticing towards sales.

@progo @Tommeee he bills himself as a "privacy expert" and capitalizes on it by offering prerolled phones and services. Nothing a moderately literate person can't do for themselves, but parlying it into custom hardware production ups the ante. I hope it works out, but the marketing... is weak sauce so far.

@jeremiah @Tommeee I hope the promise of "not just a one-time port of Android or Linux to our platform, but continuous updates" works out.

@jeremiah @Tommeee (I found a link to the ACTUAL product announcement posted where no one can find it on a discussion forum, further down in the Slashdot story.)https://community.braxtech.net/t/open-slate-megathread/4041
