I personally appreciate your post. I am not sure why so many people attacked your post. I agree that pointing weak points is not a bad thing. Not against developers, not against volunteers, no against the pinephone project. I do not think anyone should feel ofended...
This is a very nice project, but it is a long way. Some of us were seduced by the idea, and in our ignorance many of us thought this was going to be fully functional phone in a few months. Now, I already understood that this is a "supercool" project, but I am not expecting to use this phone as I dreamt before. I stopped flashing my microSD everyday, to do it every week, or 2... 3... 4 weeks.
I still support the project (not just words, I also donate).
I also thanks Pine64 because they understood the need, and make it possible with an economic phone, and let many of us to be part of this dream.
Developers are moving this project forward. Some people use it as main phone . For many of us is not realistic because we depend on a reliable phone with functional calendar, email, text, phone, camera, etc But still, I would buy it again to support this fantastic project.
Thank you Daniel!
I'd actually like to post this in the general area since it applies to all threads, but this seems to be where it's particularly pertinent.
This Isn't an msm commentary show for entertaining peasants where we can pat ourselves on the back for attacking each other thinking we are somehow defending a victim whilst CIA intern Anderson cooper stokes the fire.
We're working on a project together. This is collaborative and open sourced. It is a work in progress, and yet a brilliant project. Its not easy, comes with challenges, and certainly not perfect. To add constructive criticism is of the utmost importance. Others should be aware of realistic status, and devs need stuff brought to their attention. Lots flies under the radar when people don't inform us. The original post was a service to the devs, and the community. I dont think anyone took it personally or was butt hurt so we dont need people acting like some knight in shining armour coming to the defence of the devs. This post was completely impersonal, objective and non-offensive. Acting as if it was offensive in fact detracts from the progress we need To make on this project, and hiding flaws or failures under the rug is a surefire way to fail. All of us who want the project to succeed must be objective.
