alt Hacker NewsJohn Pebble sold his community and their collective souls for a corn chip and I genuinely don't understand why they all went rushing back to him; particularly after he went on his little social media crusade against rebble and accused them of stealing and gatekeeping the apps/software that were already -- and have been for years now -- avaliable.
Every time he makes a post I can't help but somehow lose even more respect for him and his stupid ring is so enviromentally unfriendly and anticonsumer that even if I was given one for free by him I would likely still spit in his face and cuss him out.
Also... a 30 day warranty? Does he think that's cute? What the f--.

The notion that a ring-sized device could be "so environmentally unfriendly" is just not serious. I have no desire to get one, but environmentalism has zero to do with it.
Is my smoke detector "so environmentally unfriendly" because it requires alkaline batteries? There are so many things that are bigger than a ring (and have a greater manufacturing carbon footprint) that we do not think twice about using.

youve never made a mistake? you didnt think google had at least a decent shot of making pebble even bigger and better? he has not been shy about google's errors in handling pebble post acquisition. please be kinder - this is clearly his passion and he wants to run things his way. let him cook. spitting on a strangers face just because you dont agree with how they run their business when its really none of yours is something you should reflect on.
