Huh? I didn't say that wasn't a cool project. On the contrary, I think this is a great project even if it was all closed source. Maybe I should have clarified

Huh? I didn't say that wasn't a cool project. On the contrary, I think this is a great project even if it was all closed source.
Maybe I should have clarified that I just meant to highlight the fact it's almost impossible to understand what many of the devices around us are doing because of the dependency on fundamental building blocks which are closed source and have no open source alternatives.
I'm sorry if my comment came out offensive in any way. That wasn't my intention.
- hellotomyrars 7y agoI think your comment is pretty fair and not an indictment of the project. It's 100% worth mentioning.
- pratio 7y agoI understand if that wasn’t your intention but i saw a cool project on HN and you gatekeeping. It seems the author open sourced everything they knew. Your comment didn’t mention any alternatives to open hardware or such. It felt condescending, something cool and hacked up. I didn’t like the tone, hence the comment.
