    Oh man so much love went into crafting code for low end MP3 players in the Rockbox project, then everyone ended up carrying around smartphones with tons of compute and memory resource to waste

      Rockbox was so cool. I had it on my SanDisk Sansa e250. It was so awesome. Better video format support, better interface. And it ran fucking DOOM.

      Man I still use my iPod with rockbox. A terabyte of storage and a massive battery and I never have to worry about giving streaming revenue to pedo rapists like red hot chili peppers, or worry about rumors being true about pedo rapists like panic at the disco
