Self-entitlement, thy name is benj111 apparently. Nobody needs to measure themselves against your lofty standards for them; they know what they're doing.
If you want them to succeed, help them, get involved, don't sit on the sidelines jeering at them for ten to fifteen people not being at the same level as thousands of contributors.
- benj111 8y agoWhy am I self entitled? I'm not measuring them against my lofty standards, I'm measuring them against their standards. If they want to put it on github, with an announcement saying they've done a thing for fun, what do you think? I'll judge it on those terms. If they say they're aiming to create an OS that I can put on my Grandma's computer (which they have, read the thread), then its only fair on them to judge it in those terms. I've been complementary and wished them well several times in this thread, because yes there are only 15 of them, but that doesn't change the fact, that they haven't yet built what they said they were going to build. That isn't jeering, and it isn't patting them on the head and telling them that it's the taking part matters, either.
