Aren't you often blowing up at Olimex tho...? ;) I just thought this a good opportunity for more of that. Besides. I brought popcorn.
sorry - i've not been well (for several months) and simply don't have the time or energy. if people want to fundamentally misunderstand what it is i'm doing so that they can continue with their unethical behaviour, they're entirely at liberty to "explore that space".
...sorry, just trying to tease/taunt in a funny-haha way. I'll stop.
no problem chris - i'm just too exhausted to do so, i have other priorities.
My opinion on the subject, for what it's worth: "the perfect is the enemy of the good". Something from Olimex that's "sorta kinda" open-source, may not be "pure", but is considerably better than say my Thinkpad X220 with its BIOS whitelist for WiFi cards.
... etc. etc. yes.
Basically, I'm saying, it might not be the whole journey to a truly open-source system -- but it's a step in the right direction and should be recognized and (to an extent) applauded as such. At least they're /trying/.
he's being supported (financially) by people who also don't quite fully understand the ethical consequences of their decisions and actions. and that's fine. collectively they're perfectly entitled to "explore that space".
