  • The entitlement of the open source community can be astonishingly deaf. You tell users that open source is better, users try it and your response is, oh it's free software, you get what you pay for.

    Pay who? If I donate do I get paid support? Almost any other paid product/service based off that project almost certainly won't be open source and probably subscription spyware. So your answer to use open source is don't use open source???

    If this is your attitude on your repo then don't imply/demonstrate it as for production ready use. It a personal fun dev project not fit for mainstream use. Pick a side, you can't have both.

  • Open source developers: Why aren't more people using open source software software for everything. It's better.

    Also open source developers: Oh it broke your computer, well that's your problem. You should have had a software engineering degree in order to vet the software yourself.

    User goes back to closed source paid spyware.. ahem software.

    Open source developers: Why aren't more people using open source software software for everything. It's better.

  • Depending on where you live, I believe the loop hole is that ripping media for personal use is legal but breaking the DRM and/or sharing the DRM breaking program is illegal.

  • So yes a temporary internet connection is required. In order to download the updated keys.

  • Aside from furthering the development of the architecture (I assume they are contributing and not just taking), It's meaningless as Qualcomm couldn't give two shits about open source chip documentation for the chips they release. I'm only interested in a native Linux phone. Meaning no BSP garbage.

    Yet another example of leeching off of open source and not giving back anything meaningful.
