Said another way. Someone with special needs did absolutely no research to determine whether the product they were purchasing could support those needs. When the product inevitably did not, it is the fault of the programmers who are working free of charge, despite the fact that it is not yet even a finished project that could be recommended for most people without special needs.
@jlcrawf @devinprater “here’s your goddamn gruel, street rat. take it or leave it, but don’t complain because it’s free” is not great sales technique for FOSS. every time I see this sentiment it makes me more sympathetic to microsoft.
MICROSOFT. i hate microsoft! but because MS cares about accessibility and FOSS people don’t, microsoft is better at human rights. and you have to try pretty hard to worse than supporting ICE

Microsoft has the opportunity to create a finished product. Software-wise the pinephone is nowhere near a finished product.
I am a person with fairly normal needs and I spent weeks trying to determine if the pinephone was something that I could use daily. When I finally bought mine I still wasn't sure and knew I could end up buying a paperweight.
