after 15 years, iOS has finally caught up with all the main android features, such as

  • very mid ui design
  • kinda floaty feeling
  • unpolished vibe android itself has progressed little, although it is rapidly achieving feature parity with iOS on "locked down user hostility". overall both ecosystems look very appealing, energetic, and healthy, for shareholders

It seems like TheMightyCat just generates code

This is such an oversimplification and shows you don't understand how much work goes into this.

Their generated code has been criticised by some kernel developers because of lack of quality. I think some sensors were accessed without using hexagonrpcd, which means battery usage will be unnecessarily high, which is an improper way of doing it.

Again, any source for this argument with the hexagon processor? My patches has been plenty criticized by kernel developers, but so are fully manually written patches, which is the entire point of the kernel review process. Unless you seriously are saying that everyone on the list who has sent a v2 is a bad quality programmer.

When we were talking in DMs i again asked you for your source, reason, or any info for this so i can look at it and fix it if needed, but again you just result to throwing insults like you did in DM.

Also, mainline kernel support is actively being worked on by Fairphone employees, which know the hardware best. All remaining features will be added in due time.

They are being added, by me, by nondescriptpointer, by Luca, by the people at Qualcomm. I have good contact with them for this. I don't understand your grudge against me.

shows you don't understand how much work goes into this.

I know how much work goes into it, I'm doing mainlining work myself. It's really a lot of work.

Also, I have NOT had any conversation with you via DM.

I doubt I would start a DM conversation with you now that you are publishing lies about this. 🙄

I have good contact with them for this. I don't understand your grudge against me.

So far I had nothing against you as a person, but you are starting to change that rapidly.

Well i wrongly believed i was continuing a conversation then, if that isn't the case my apolgies.

If you understand how much work it is then how can you say "just generates code"?

For openness this is the conversation i am referring to:

As they are the same instance and the same conversation i believe lenni and erebion are the same person.

When we were talking in DMs i again asked you for your source, reason, or any info for this so i can look at it and fix it if needed, but again you just result to throwing insults like you did in DM.

This paragraph is anchored in the part where once again instead of any source or info on their argument and all they respond with is

There’s one question I have: What is your incentive in buying a Fairphone or contributing to an OS that allows phones to be used longer if you don’t care about our planet?

[–] erebion@news.erebion.eu 0 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

You know, an instance can have multiple users.

Sometimes people have the same opinion, I am also a sceptic when it comes to generated code, like many others.

I will notify my user that you are publishing a conversation with him. That conversation was not meant to be published, otherwise it would have beeb posted publicly.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 0 points 14 hours ago

There is no personal identifying information there. Just a disagreement.

[–] TheMightyCat@ani.social 0 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

Its not just the same opinion, its the combination that makes it read like a continuation of the same conversation with the same person: the exact same point, no source, and same instance. That made me suspicious enough to conclude im talking to the same person.

I have published the conversation for transparency reasons, no personal info was shared.

Not to mention DMs on lemmy aren't even private anyways.

[–] erebion@news.erebion.eu -1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Posting a conversation you had with someone — that did not expect it to be published — is NOT okay.

[–] TheMightyCat@ani.social 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

If there was no reason to post it i would agree, but here its important context.

If a person attacks me publicly while referring to points made in a DM where no private info was shared that is important context then i think its better to be transparent about this then hide this.

You said i was posting lies earlier, this is direct proof against your claim as this conversation did happen. Which there would not have been if i hadn't posted it.

Some people are just here to ruin the fun.
