No, I'm not denying that I have called all kinds of people silly internet insult names when they act ridiculously.
The problem is NO ONE else acts like you do, Daniel. No one. If it was just me saying this, maybe you'd have a point. But unfortunately
I don't think many people have experienced having their business partner stab them in the back, burn down everything they built and then turn all these internet trolls on them while trying to destroy their reputation. Follow that up with multiple years of follow up nonsense.
While working for an immense amount of time rebuilding all of the infrastructure and the project, advancing it forwards, managing other developers and many other issues, etc. Hasn't been a moment of any real peace or rest since 2018. Don't have to wonder why I'm stressed as fuck.
Listen, person to person--I get all of what you just said. Sincerely.
But fact is you've habitually responded to that stress in highly unproductive ways, often against ppl who support your work. They're now unnecessary enemies.
I really hope the dynamic changes going forward.
There's a major difference between thinking my work has value vs. supporting it.
I expected the conflict involving the Samourai community to go away once it became increasingly clear what had happened with the former sponsor and we won the legal conflict, but no, not at all.
If you would let your guard down for half a second to entertain the possibility that maybe, just maybe, you had something to do with all this, there might be progress. As I don't see that happening, idk how it happens.
You continue breathing life into such things. Let it die.
I had a lot to do with it because we were doing everything we could to fight back against a closed source fork of our work by someone trying to take credit for it. Certainly made enemies with how we handled that but the way we handled it led to the current status quo victory.
sells phones with CalyxOS. It doesn't bother us. What was happening before was a serious problem funding a war trying to wipe out the project. I don't think you're able to see our perspective on what was happening and it all goes back to that stuff.
We see everyone on the other side of that as you would see people who spent a year supporting Craig Wright if he had a lawsuit filed against you trying to wipe out your work. Can disagree with our perspective but that's what it is. That stuff is not really over either.
We were happily collaborating with CalyxOS on certain areas of shared work too. Techlore blew all that apart for views, and they didn't have enough integrity not to take full advantage of that and other things. I'm sure others could have looked past that but that's not me.
I expect people that say they're my friends and say they're collaborating with me towards shared goals to reject support from someone involved in highly toxic behavior towards me. CalyxOS could be on Android 12 already. Could have had our fancy new Camera app. A lot more too.
