Do you realize that the argument you just posted is much more informative and contributes better to a debate on what tool to use than a simple:

"This is embarrassing"

That is a nice online rant but not really an argument.

@chpietsch

What is embarrassing about git send-email it is used by one of the largest FOSS projects out there, the linux kernel?

Also sourcehut has a webinterface to submit the patches.

Also as a disclaimer: I am not a member or user of #pmos project.

Simply got triggered with:

- A project makes an effort to start an online debate and present their arguments to start the debbate
- then people assuming the decision is already made for

:facepalm:

Instead of speculating that "the decision is already made" on social media
How about checking for yourself if that speculative idea of your is true or not by actually participating in the debate.

@Tay0@fosstodon.org

If they had already made up their minds do you think #pmos would have bothered to make the blogpost, the podcast with their arguments and opening the discussion and _asking_ for feedback on this idea, and mentioning in the blogpost that they can backtrack on it?

TL;DR if you actually have a contribution and arguments for this debate, make a comment on the ticket and read the arguments in the blogpost first.
instead if just making posts in a social media.

@Tay0@fosstodon.org

Are you sure you do not prefer to make your comments in the discussion ticket that pmos opened for this topic instead of having your argument lost in social media threads/walls of text. Link to the ticket is at the end of the blogpost.

@postmarketOS

@chrichri so you wanted a "beta" without easter eggs? ;)

@dannycolin

Yes, ultimately people should more than free to do what they want with their devices. Even porting android.

But for me personally, spending time and resources to try to bridge with the Android world, either porting it or using Anbox/Waydroid for me feels like an anchor holding us. And consuming time and resources.

I would personally prefer to burn those bridges and invest the resources available with making good mobile ready mainline linux applications.

If another one of those 10 distros works on a new feature for Bluetooth and upstreams it, it benefits not in that distro but the other 9.

"We could say the same with having > 10 distros of Linux duplicating the work."

Actually not really. The beauty of mainline linux on phones not only that you are using the same software stack across devices (laptop/phone).

But that those 10 distros are using the same upstream components.

If a distro has a fix for a modem manager bug and upstreams it, it benefits every single one of those 10 distros

"Love" people stating/declaring to the devs of a project in chat rooms and issue tickets that the project in question is "unusable" in overall because it does not serve the personal use case of the person that is complaining.

tone it down a notch or two
