<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hello Nikolaus,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> Phew. Got an even longer answer
but I hope it helps all of us to get back patience and enthusiasm.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">many thanks for all your efforts! Meanwhile
I again feel much better. Getting some distance helps very much.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Nevertheless I'll answer much more shortly
in this mail. Thank you for all the technical hints and aspects. But I
need much more time in order to get the head free again to think abaout
them (and especially reload much more swap space into my short memory for
this purpose...). At this time I can only tell you that I find all your
arguments reasonable and traceable.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Will focus on much more general things
in this mail.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> quality (testing) is what you really
pay for in commercial software. There you can expect and request that there
are no significant faults because you pay for.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Ooops! Did you ever use Windows? You'll
find very early that Micro$oft uses you as cheap beta tester!</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> See Windows updates for Meltdown/Spectre
patches which freeze the PC. Or MacOS updates which looses the complete
mailbox.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Exactly this is what I meant...
;-)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> Yes, this is why I have invested
so much personal time to get QtMoko 2 compiling and running again.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> Because I think that it may be
8 years old, but it still is the best Phone GUI we have which is completely
community driven.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> Replicant may be technically much
more mature and has Fdroid with many apps, but we are still depending on
API definitions set by Google.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I fully agree in every aspect!!! As
long as you keep Finxi theme alive... ;-)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> If you (and others) give more help,
documentation and internet pages *can* be improved. If someone takes care
of it.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">My idea some years ago was to create
my completely own pages in the internet about the GTA04, which advertise
it so that it's really attractive and technically informative. But I never
started this project, because more and more I came to the conclusion, that
all the people who blame your pages to be "crap", in fact have
a completely different or at least much deeper aversion than the look of
your internet pages.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Meanwhile you can express the situation
very clear and easy by just quoting some latest economic values:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">In Germany every year 24 million smartphones
are being sold. The population of Germany is about 80 million people, resulting
in the following statistics:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- More than 60% own their smartphone
less than one year.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- Less than 20% own their smartphone
more than two years.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">- Spending money for smartphones and
accessories meanwhile will given much more priority than spending money
for everything else, including clothes, food, etc. Only spending money
for voyages will be seen as similar relevant.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">You can see the results every day in
the pedestrian areas and busses of our cities: People in uncharitable and
cheap clothes like jogging pants staying, sitting or walking around without
notifying anything else except the displays of their phones and without
doing anything else than typing something on them.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Meanwhile my opinion to all that is:
This is not anymore just a hype. This already is psychopathic!</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">You'll need an army of doctors in order
to therapy that heavy addiction!</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Or alternatively you can just consider
all the extremely seldom and hard to get materials that are inside these
phones. Materials, where you need to dig over thousands of tons of rocks
in order to get some milligrammes of them. Of course by using machines
driven by Diesel, not by solar power. And where you need millions of cubic
metres of water in order to wash these some few milligrammes out of the
rubble. Not to mention all the other highly poisonous and aggressive chemicals.
Not to meantion that nearly all of the countries where these materials
come from are contries which are affected by war.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Then just think about the possibility
that mother earth might say "Enough is enough!" and nature modifies
the climate some more, so that its voice can finally be heared by all people.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">In worst case these people are such
absorbed in their smartphones, that they first need to die before they
notice that facebook (German: "Fratzebuch") is nothing else than
a giant gully for energy of live.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> Please contribute to that work!
You are really welcome.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> As soon as you have more time to
spend on it. We did wait 5 years so there is no need to hurry.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'm still in love with QtMoko's Finxi
theme. And I'm still hoping that Neo900 will be available some day, so
that my 450 EUR will not be lost. But perhaps you now got a little impression
that my priorieties currently are a little bit different...</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Nevertheless will reserve some time
for you, as soon as you reworked the makesd script. ;-)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> BR and sorry again for the trouble.
If we meet some time in person, I'll spend you a beer :)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Is it naughty to tell you that I don't
like beer? I'm not from Bavaria, I'm from Rheingau. So I prefer wine and
especially cocktails. Do Bavarians know what a Pina Colada is...
;-)</font>
