This is like the PPE contracts in the UK during COVID. Don’t the people realise they’re being robbed in broad daylight?

It’s a reimplementation from scratch

It can’t be both a port and a reimplementation from scratch, those two concepts are mutually exclusive.

the game is FOSS

How can this be FOSS, or for that matter even legal, if Super Mario Bros is a proprietary game?

You’re not making sense.

This is OK

This is not OK.

Blocking a cycle path impacts the safety of cyclists if they’re too stupid and impatient to wait a few seconds.

Not blocking a cycle path impacts the safety of Amazon drivers if they’re too stupid and impatient to walk a few seconds.

you piece of shit sociopath

U seem angry bro.

You can’t be fucking bothered to wait a few seconds. That’s literally a complaint about convenience.

Blocking a cyclepath impacts the safety of cyclists. And yet:

no matter how many times you hear the consequences you put on the health and safety of other people, your fucking spoiled entitlement and positioning your humanity over others causes you to interpret it as “convenience.”

You’re projecting.

The obvious implication of setting your own convenience above someone else’s health and safety is that you think you’re above them.

Setting their own convenience above everyone else’s health and safety is what these Amazon drivers have done.

they want all the consequences to fall on the people ‘lower’ than them. Fuck them.

Nobody here has used the word “lower”, you’ve conjured that word up. Do you think perhaps you might be projecting?

in this case, we know it’s not because they got rid of that option. Why? Because the task is infeasible to support.

You’re not making any sense.

the devs no longer offer it as a supported method

Are you saying that the Home Assistant developers used to support distro packages?

No one is saying it is impossible

OP is saying that. They said it was “infeasible”.

Well, yeah.

Why do you think that because a person could do something they necessarily will?

it isn’t actually that feasible then, otherwise you’d do more than just whine about it on the Internet

So let me get your logic straight: you’re saying that it isn’t feasible because if it were feasible then a person who could do it would necessarily do it? LOL that makes no sense.

Then do if for your distribution then.

I use Debian.

It’s clearly not that difficult, you’ve all but explicitly stated as much.

I have not said that, or anything like it.

Perhaps you missed the fact that I’m not a Home Assistant user and have no interest in contributing?

I’m not a Debian Developer and won’t become one: http://settrans.net/~rah/why-not-debian.html

Also, I’m not a Home Assistant user so I’ve no interest in contributing.

Jesus grow up

You first.

the very tone of this thread is suggesting that the HA developers choice in how they distribute their platform is “incorrect”

Not incorrect, just poor engineering. Anti-social ultimately.

you seem to disagree with explanations provided as to why those choices were likely made

I can see only two disagreements in the whole post. Only one of those is about the reasons for creating an OS rather than distro packages. I have corrected a number of factual errors and errors in reasoning but those aren’t disagreements.

Dismissing those statements and observations do not make them incorrect.

Yes, my dismissing of them is not what makes them incorrect.

Nothing I stated is dramatic

LOL “this evil developer is doing a sinister thing”

this evil developer is doing a sinister thing

Nobody has said that here.

that community

I’ve no idea what community you’re referring to. Nobody here has demanded that any developers cater to their distribution’s needs.

If your community is getting cut off because, frankly, it’s being unreasonable… don’t come here looking for a personal army.

Again, I’ve no idea what community you’re referring to. Nobody has come here looking for a personal army.

Your characterisation of the commentary on this post seems like that of an overly. dramatic. teenager.

This appears to bother a particular community who feel entitled enough to demand multiple developers cater to their distribution’s needs.

Your reading of the situation is wrong.
