This is not on me.

You chose to interpret that me pointing out the hardware is 8 years old meant I expected cutting edge technology, as if there wasn't 8 years oh hardware innovations in-between the hardware used and "cutting-edge technology". (The A720 and A510 are 4 years old, not exactly cutting-edge but would be a dramatic improvement)

There was nothing to extrapolate. I made a remark on the hardware, and you chose to view the world as black and white ("if he mentions the old age of the hardware he must necessarily expect the brand new cutting edge hardware and must not realize that small indie FOSS projects don't have the same resources as Apple").

You lacked nuance, it is not on me.

I don’t lack nuance because other commenters made the same mistake. In which case your comment is disingenuous at best.

> As much as I admire the FOSS nature, it's always the problem of underspeccing and overpricing the tech at the same time.

> Laughs in iPhone ;-)

Both those comments refer to that exact topic, yet you chose to single me out.

Because both comments you quoted did not put words in my mouth like you did. They can laugh in iPhone all they want, they didn't say I expected iPhone performance out of this Linux phone. Same for the other comment, they're expressing their opinions, not projecting it on me.

You're the one being disingenuous, and I'm done exchanging with you.

		Ah I see, makes sense. We’ll talk again when you purchase a Linux phone device and have something to add beyond the obvious component spec talk. So it’s okay to reply to nuance with more nuance but if I specifically point out what you might be referring to then I’m a monster because I didn’t have the supreme intelligence to respond to snark with more snark? Got it.

Please don't cross into personal attack and name-calling. That only makes things worse.
