App Roundup:

GCompris was updated to version 2.0 ported by Lionel, a educational suite of games.

Logviewer was forked by Rudi Timmermans, they have been merging some new features, and now easier to share logs.

Puzzle Master ported by me - a jigsaw puzzle with multitouch, this game from Venemo was wrtten with many mulitplatform features, one featue im hoping to get help on is selecting a custom image.

@nero355: I'm not sure which community you've been in, but talking like this is not acceptable here.

People who aren't interested in computers like you are, are not dumb. Everyone has different tastes, priorities, and education, but none of these things necessarily make someone "less smart" than someone else. Consider whether there is anything that you do (driving, taking care of your health, tidying up, organization) that you do worse than other people. Are you less intelligent for having different priorities and skills?

Ubuntu Touch is built for people who are not as knowledgeable about the operating system as its team. There are many Linux distributions for which this is not the case, and those are good for different purposes. If you are trying to apply your own experience as someone knowledgeable about the principles of computing to an operating system that isn't really designed for you, it's not our fault that the design has mismatched. It's yours.

If this misunderstanding is going to continue, I'd recommend that you find another project that suits your priorities better. But I don't think you'll find any community that takes great pleasure in calling people dumb.

@unisuperbox Well said Dalton.

MrT10001

Thank you for answering my question. It has set me thinking.....

Talkless

My question:

Why Bitcoin donation method is removed?

While UBPorts delivers freedom in the mobile computing sphere, Bitcoin on another hand provides similar freedoms in financial sphere - a nice cooperation, unless there is regulatory pressure for non-profit to avoid cryptocurrencies..?

You are overreacting...

Do you have any idea how often people buy a bunch of random products and then ask other people how to connect them all together ?!

Do you have any idea how often people show ZERO interest or effort to learn how a device they have bought actually works and what all the available options/settings do ?!

And don't get me started about claims about a OS beeing user friendly because people know how to use it but meanwhile have no idea how to fix any issues that can happen by their own mistake of some update/upgrade/patch to that OS

All these things are simply the current reality and pinpointing those issues should be a normal thing instead of a taboo...

Dalton's answer is correct and maybe you should consider that maybe you were out of line.

UBports is a friendly community open to everyone.
There is simply no place for judgment and harsh words, it cannot be tolerate.

You're entitled to your thoughts but freedom of speech is not to confused with you're free to say/write anything. We have rules to avoid trolls and unrelated debates.
Please be respectful, this is a public place.

Be gentle, be positive and stay on topic...
Pointing fingers or calling names never improved anything.

If that needs to be done, can you do it without referring to people as dumb? That sounds really unwelcoming and that's not how we want to treat people here.

cliffcoggin

@nero355 Well I am one of the dumb masses who has no idea how a phone works, and I resent your appalling arrogance. If you want to think of me as an ignorant peasant that's your right, but common courtesy demands that you keep such thoughts to private correspondence. A public forum requires civilised levels of behaviour which you clearly have no idea about.

AppLee

@cliffcoggin no need to take it personal though...

I think it is now clear that the forum shall and will remain civilized.
And my fellow moderators an I will see to it.

So I consider the message send and hopefully well received and will lock this thread.

Happy holidays, enjoy the end of the year.
Peace.
