As I see it, the rotary dial is the main feature, the rest are just nice things to have (that you can get elsewhere from many dumb phones). It's an extremely cool project and I can't wait to get one!

I understand, and even appreciate, that they don't let too much customization on their default programs. But why can't you run a different program? It makes no sense.

It does. Imagine a one pixel wide vertical white line on black background. As you downscale it, by whatever reasonable means, the line becomes a darker and darker grey. EDIT: This is in the context of the image shown in the article, which

Reproducibility is certainly achievable, and an important point for some people. Look for example at guix, that bootstraps explicitly with what they call "the maxwell equations of software". Imposing a web-based build system, into

The default behavior of cargo is to download stuff from the internet. This may be the least reproducible thing ever. I'm honestly astonished that programmers of a language that is deemed to be "safe by default" thought that

Rust is alright as a language, but cargo is extremely scary. I hope a culture of coding in rust outside of the cargo "ecosystem" develops. The current situation is alienating to reproducibility-oriented developers.
