“I pointed you to one such library”

You pointed me to an abandoned codebase. When I pointed out that it seemed incomplete you said:

“It is already usable.” ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25361587 )

Do you still claim it’s already usable? If not, why did you say it is?

You say: “Of course it doesn't make sense to build that library into the platform.”

I agree, but nobody is talking about building that library into the platform. The comment you are replying to is talking about the feature, not that library:

“Now you say it doesn’t make even sense to put this feature in the platform”

Do you think it makes sense to put this feature into the platform?

How many times do I have to tell you that it doesn't?

Do you think AOSP should have a framework specifically for uploading photos to a photo sharing service in the background? That is another standard feature for smartphones. Of course not, it just needs the ability to support uploading photos to multiple services, and people can build libraries on top of the platform to make it easier. This is notably another thing that is not possible on iOS.

And another one that isn't abandoned.

No. I assumed it was because they had already announced it. Any developer who would like it can simply finish the library themselves.

We seem to be in agreement except for your wacky ideas of how much should be in the platform vs. how much should be built on top of the platform.

You said it was already usable after I said that the link you posted showed that it was incomplete.

I.e: You made a claim that you didn’t know was true, but stated it as fact, even when you were asked to confirm it.

This is known as lying - saying something is true, when you don’t know it is true.

In this case I didn’t even call you on it - I just asked whether you were sure it was usable.

Your response was to immediately reply with a false statement.

A true answer would have been: “I don’t know, but I assume so because it has been announced.”

Because you do this, what you say simply cannot be taken at face value.

Says the guy who has been caught lying many times after he finally found a single time that I lied. Sure, buddy.

If this were true, you’d be able to link to an example of me intentionally stating a falsehood.

> after he finally found a single time that I lied

This is the single time you have confessed to lying.
