@divVerent @fireborn @larsmb @semitones @thomas @mpldr @j_j Do you think what you're doing accelerates our existing work on it? Do you think it's going to motivate our developers and make things happen faster? If you believe any of that, you couldn't be more wrong. This has massively demotivated the team and harm the project in ways that are going to make progress on this slower. You think driving away help from the project is going to speed it up? It's an open source project. You could help.
@GrapheneOS @divVerent @larsmb @semitones @thomas @mpldr @j_j See this thread. https://infosec.exchange/@matchboxbananasynergy/114570624717710963. In short, I was deeply frustrated at the general FOSS messaging seeming to be applied in the posts that I quoted, which reads generally like "we gave you half the car. Go build the rest of it." I've been dealing with this for years, in almost every project I actively use. Starting a conversation with this wasn't productive.
@fireborn @divVerent @larsmb @semitones @thomas @mpldr @j_j GrapheneOS didn't have network location, something many people consider a basic feature, from 2014 through 2024 until near the end of the year. There are many things we need to implement ourselves. Most third party implementations of features usually don't meet our requirements and we either need to make our own or heavily fork them.
Open source TalkBack is in a bad state from Google and we have to deal with that ourselves.
