Dude. It’s a hobby project. It doesn’t need to solve major global market problems for you. What an absolutely bizarre thing to get this angry over.

Internet people: voice justified criticism.
Half wits: “how dare you criticise the creators!”

Pal, my dude, my buddy, you’re raging against someone’s garage proof-of-concept as if they held the key to the software problems on modern smartphones, and downvoting anyone who tells you to chill out. Lots of people do much more useless things than this every day, so why does this one thing enrage you so much?
FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I am not raging against anything. I am calling it useless and ridiculous because it is useless and ridiculous.
… And I am not your pal, mate.

I’m sure many people call you useless, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t exist

You must be thinking about your parents and yourself.

Why does the end product of an electronics learning project need to be useful? Or any hobby project? Your criticism was that their hobbies should yield something useful, but where’s the “justification” for that? What’s wrong with just having fun?

So we agree it is useless? OK.

Kind of, it’s a pretty shit phone, and the creator is not pretending otherwise. Why are you so offended and why should they do whatever you want them to do instead?
FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I am not. I said it was useless and led to nowhere with software being much better solution. Suddenly multiple people felt offended by this simple statement of fact.
