India has too many languages and cannot agree on one in common, which is why English is a “neutral” compromise. I understand that making Hindi the national language is a common Hindu Nationalist point.

I sometimes wonder how much Pixel hype is just inertia from when other manufacturers had terrible skins and Pixel was the only way for most to get a stock android experience.
Nowadays third party software has come a long way and from what I can see the pixel’s main selling point is it’s cameras.
The problem with “niche” phones like small phones, phones with headphone jacks, phones with keyboards, etc is that most of the people who claim they want one end up not buying one because of such and such feature being missing or so and so phone being better.
Asus and Sony have been making smaller phones for years but they’ve never achieved any sort of success. Iirc Sony makes a small phone with a headphone jack, which should be flying off shelves if these types of threads are to be believed.
The excuse is always “well Asus and Sony” have relatively little retail presence. Sure, that’d true, but any startup niche phone seller would be doing very well to have an Asus or Sony level distribution and retail network in the first couple of generations. And that’s setting aside Apple being omnipresent in retail and yet still failing to sell enough small phones.
I’ve seen stripped down versions of Android on phones intended specifically for the elderly. I wonder if anyone has approached desktop Linux development like that?
That old lady’s name? Albert Einstein.
Even if they’ll sell one to you internationally, you’re probably shit out of luck if something breaks and needs to be fixed under warranty.
India feels like the country equivalent of Elon Musk when it comes to announcements. They always announce some incredible goal (man on Mars, Superpower 2020, whatever) lap up all the good vibes of that announcement, and then drop the ball on implementation. Then they quietly shift the deadline to 5 years later and make a new announcement.
Promoting colorism in a lesson about software that can be used to edit colors is… A strategy.
Idk maybe I just need to go meet more Indian people but none of the Indian people I’ve met to date look anything like Ronit and Sirahi here.
