Looks like it’s still pirating after all.

To be absolute honest, I cannot care less about KDE or anything being stable on my phone, nor running Firefox or Retroarch. Being a phone, its most critical job is making calls and not missing any calls and messages.
If the devs - and I understand most of them are unpaid volunteers - can’t make fancy packages work stably, can’t they focus on the drivers? Can’t the Pine Phone company choose a really easy-to-work-with MODEM? Why spend hundreds of hours on an SoC with bad upstream Linux kernel support? Pine Phone needs to prioritise its to-do list items.
As I see it, Pine Phone series isn’t gaining the popularity it needs for the years to come. The more people use it, the bigger chance someone will come along to contribute.
I can understand to an extent. People who’s on their death beds and people who’s about to jump off a building, they’re both suicidal. However, the latter can get professional help and get better, thus we should prevent it. Terminal cancer patients have no hope in recovery, letting go should be a choice.
In developed countries where you can’t stretch your leg without kicking a programmer’s butt and people who have more than 40 hours of free time a week? Sure!
Other parts of the world, good luck finding a programmer who knows development and deployment AND actually have time and energy to do it AND willing to do it for free!
There are plenty of alternatives to a website.

Running a website costs money. Why would someone offer you free service?
More importantly, use the right tool for the job.
Oh, sure. Open source devs who work full-time for free are millionaires to begin with. They surly have more power than average people.
I constantly day dream that one day I’ll be one of them.
