If you were watching itv1 last night (or since), you might have seen the co-operative group’s Join the Revolution advert that hints at how buying from co-op shops helps to support a wide range of other co-operative efforts. This isn’t unique to that co-op – our co-op has been helped by the group and many others over the years, both formally and informally, and we’ve helped other co-ops too – but the shops are one of the biggest co-ops and it’s great to see them getting the message out there.
It’s rather less great that my mobile phone is convinced that “John the Revolution” is much more probable. Got to love software. If only it was free software I could fix…
“Got to love software. If only it was free software I could fix…”
Well, why isn’t it?
My mobile phone is a Nokia (as recommended by http://www.software.coop/phone at the time I got it) and while Symbian is free and open source software (FOSS) as far as I know, it is possibly the most awkward FOSS to fix that I’ve ever encountered. Even if I fix it, I don’t think I can upload a fixed version to my phone. Am I wrong about that?
Sadly, it looks like Symbian is being destroyed in the so-called Elopcalypse at Nokia, so it might never be uploadable if it isn’t now.
