the best part of being an emulator developer is being asked the same questions over and over again from people who can't read

making it difficult to get in contact with me was a deliberate strategy to avoid me getting burned out on emulator development too quickly, and it worked. i recommend it. there's something to be said for barriers to entry. i don't like gatekeeping generally but my time isn't free

‪btw you could actually cancel me over getting annoyed at Android users, because the reasons they're annoying are ultimately related to the fact Android is the OS of the masses: non-computer people use it, kids use it, and it's overwhelmingly popular in low-income countries‬

‪but uh android sucks and i don't owe users anything, that's the truth‬

ok i'll stop talking about this, it really does not spark joy. don't vent onto public twitter, it's ugly and the ugliness will affect your soul. i mean that sincerely

@hikari
nothing, not even
- not knowingly shipping malicious or grossly vulnerable software?
- communicating in good faith?

@whitequark truth be told i do believe i owe my users those things, but they're such a low bar to me that i don't actually think about it

@whitequark my problems with OSS burnout come from the fact i actually care too much, maybe. i am honour-bound or something. if i didn't care i would have just completely dropped touchHLE months ago, and i could have gotten away with this, but instead i'm determined to not leave it in a place where others are forced to clean up after me

@hikari yep. I'm the same. I think there's a useful discussion to be had about handling this exact problem
