But, it already did?
I mean cool that he is also working on it but why does he announce it like this is new?
Unless he doesn't know but i'm pretty sure it does since people posted about me in his replies?
Completely off topic, but you mentioned in your post about getting the camera working that you might be working on a RISC-V phone. If that is actually happening, that's an insta-buy for me.
Crazy impressive to see the work that has gone into the FP6 at such a fast pace, too.
This dev seems aware of your work, I've no idea why they're doing it anyway: https://www.reddit.com/r/mobilelinux/comments/1vsyzz6/comment/p4qlh1q/
I find it crazy that there are people out there who care about ethical repairable tech enough to invest hours and hours into Fairphone, have the know-how to hack away at Linux on mobile and develop hardware support, and nevertheless use Reddit and Twitter as the only channels to communicate this work.
I get that the Fediverse is still pretty niche by most standards, but for FOSS development it seems to be a pretty obvious meeting point.
Edit: It turns out the other FP6 hacker is also making their own non-federated Reddit alternative, which probably explains the absence from the Fediverse. 🙃
You invited me to do some investigative journalism

Yeah...
Yikes.
It seems they are choosing to ignore it though, Nick seems to be after clout and not the work.
Clearly, the existing solution just wasn't good enough. /s
I mean if this person has identified a flaw in my solution ill be glad to hear it on the linux mailing list.
His solution is as far as i understand never making it upstream because mine already is?
So unless he is doing this for fun (which is great if he is) i don't see the point.
Cannot upvote due to xitter
Love the progress though!
I apologize if this is egotistical but this isn't progress.
i already did this 2 months ago.

Well with progress I meant your efforts that I've been following here! Thank you for your efforts!
It is very very interesting watching this progress
