Welcome back to the land of yo-ho-ho, because these fuckers are overly greedy.

Things will improve after the major release with more fine grained controls. Being able to limit community interactions to members will drive up quality engagement and that should drive up retention rates.

Didn’t they do the same with One Plus a couple years back?

Reading this makes me happy.

Thank you. Just what I needed.

Didn’t fold’s suck at first too?

Thanks for the info BTW. I hadn’t followed the development, so the insight is appreciated.

Isn’t that exactly what the article is? Rather than slash profits a little until prices return to normal, they’re trying to justify lowering specs while acting like the victims.

You’re the MVP! I’m sorry, but how fucking cool was that?!

I can’t recall who it was, either LG or Samsung, but I remember a device that had a screen that pulled/rolled out to become tablet size. I so wanted them to iterate on that idea.

I actually like the form factor of the folds. I want them to get better.

This is why as a community, we should’ve never allowed things to centralise on LW in the first place.

That’s exactly why decentralisation is good.

Catfriend was actively openly looking for a replacement for ages and couldn’t find one. No one was stepping up. When she eventually found someone, suddenly everyone wants to have a say. What was she supposed to do, put her life and mental health on hold until the community that wasn’t helping maintain the project, vetted the replacement she found? I don’t know how people can’t see that their expectations are out of whack here. As I said before, if any one of the people who are whipping up the storm had stepped up to takeover, there’d somewhat of point to this, but that’s not happening. It’s just pitchforks for the sake of pitchforks.

Let’s look at the timeline.

Developer was maintaining app, didn’t wanna do it any more and suggested everyone use the most popular fork.

The maintainer of said most popular fork, after a while, didn’t wanna do it any more and after asking for maintainers for a while, found one on her own and handed him the project.

Entitled AF users, who aren’t looking to maintain the project, don’t like the cut of the new maintainers jib and thus kick up a fuss.

At this point, there’s zero new forks available on F-Droid or IzzyOnDroid, proving it’s not about anything other than kicking up a fuss.

Anyone that is so outraged, put your time and effort where your mouth is. Stop with the brigading and actually maintain and publish a fork.

Personally, I trust nutomic and catfiend and if I trusted catfiend to maintain the app, I will trust their vouch for the new maintainer too.

Projects change hands all the time. If someone wants to use a fork, do that. The entitlement here is fucking wild.

This is a cool community

If the EU fumbles this…

Would be cool if they provided some boiler plate text
