Human nature is odd that way. Critically scrutinize everybody else, apply lesser rules to themselves.

I didn't actually believe what i typed, and agree with more along the lines of what you said. Rationalizations about karma or who knows what would be the likely justifications. Hopefully its a hypothetical that doesn't happen; i'm fatigued on this whole novela.

Rarely do I tend to assume, but I assumed that your biting sarcasm could have been altruistic, if not slightly naive.

Instead, my latter words either echo your intended sentiment and my initial words was unnecessary that I doubted your statement and the rest fell in line with what you were implying. Or my initial statement was an unnecessary entry/counter and I overlooked your original intent fully.

Either way, sounds as if we agree. This entire cluster**** of a situation has been handled in a way that's tiresome. And ultimately... I've rethought three crowdfunding projects since this fiasco - backed none since (to be honest) due to recently gained distrust.

I do not like stereotypes like that but your post proves it

I take absolutely no ill-will from this statement whatsoever. Sadly... it seems as if I have confirmed an oft-repeated stereotype. But gladly, I can laugh at myself quite easily and frequently.

So not even all that payed tax last year have got their devices. That means that Jolla manage to ship one tablet per day with current speed if 77 tablets was sent. That is fun info :) so it would take more than a year until all 463 sees the hands of their new owner. :D

Indeed!

Fix your legacy before you hit you head in that wall again! If money is gone and no full refund happens it will be a double scam. :eek:

Good job, good for them!

However, under requirements for the Qt/QML Engineer, "have multiple years of experience in C/C++"... I wonder, what is that mysterious C/C++? Did they mean C and C++? What on earth do you need C for in Qt and QML programming?

Having seen your post for the past 6 months, I thought the double scam was reached back in December. This would be at least an octuple scam :D

I hope not. Some people here seem to like him for some strange reason but he is partly responsible for what Jolla is now - a horrible mess :(

I'm with you on that one!

It's good that they are looking forward again, but just makes me think they will end up in the same position of too many staff not enough income.
