Not on 'the fridge'. very specifically 'on a samsung fridge', so #fucksamsung and their enshitification

14 years ago I was at the Tizen Developers conference in SF, put on by Samsung and the Linux Foundation. Developers were given a 'developer device' running Tizen that was the size of a phone that couldn't have the OS upgraded. At the time, every developer I talk to at the conference was asking if samsung would ever release a functioning phone, running Tizen, for developers to use.

The answer from Samsung was a deafening no. Tizen was never really intended for phones, and now we are finally seeing Samsung's goal with the Linux based OS: pure enshitification and rent-seeking.

@jezra I have a small multibit screwdriver that Samsung once gave away as Tizen swag. I happened to use it at productively #belug again this week. It's the best Tizen product ever produced.
@alison agreed. the Tizen screwdriver is absolutely the most useful, user-centric Tizen device that Samsung has ever made.

@jezra Exactly! I was at an Installfest and helped remove an SSD drive.
