Oh man I feel for the maintainers here, with the many "this isn't the place for that" and now-deleted comments.
It's on my mind, as I just set up a vpn gateway on a Pi, and while I sorta want to document the process, I don't want to support randos.
- ggm 6y agoYes, the sense of frustration in the threads is palpable. Its a no-win situation: bleed time/labour dealing with "no" answers and the consequences, and get hated, or, be harsh up front, and get hated.
- web007 6y agoI feel like the RPi reps were incredibly condescending and rude in the thread. Starting with the immediate closing as a support request they were off on the wrong foot. Once they reopened, if people are looking for one place to follow for "can I boot from USB?" then their responses were between pointless and confusing: "We have this thing updated, but it's not ready for anyone to use" so why did they send an update? Followed predictably by "So when can we use it?" Then they threaten the user asking about it and lock the thread, only to unlock it the next day. All the while none of that matters, because only this week they finally got whatever was left finished (GPU firmware?) so it can work.
- ggm 6y agoI do get this, but i also get the other side. The sense of entitlement inherent in the requests, the frustration of people who can't be bothered to read before posting (I am btw, a serial offender of this, in FreeBSD land)
