New to Purism. Did I goof?

And voicing sane suggestions to the company via the forum has been mostly fruitless (although they did drop the plans to start a toy robot line - maybe coincidentally).

I disagree that suggestions are fruitless. As another example, shortly after I posted this suggestion:

P.S., one suggestion I have to improve the PureOS subscription model: Purism could make a commitment that all (or almost all? 90%?) of the money from subscriptions goes to PureOS development. I think that kind of financial transparency could be very motivating to people. Like, I would know for a fact that if I subscribe, then my money is going to boost Free Software in some way. I think people won’t be as likely to subscribe if they think Purism might just pocket the money or spend it to buy more hardware inventory or something.

I noticed that Purism included exactly the kind of commitment that I described in their next update on PureOS development.

“We use 100% of PureOS subscription funds for the development of PureOS.”

I have no idea if it was just coincidence, but I’ve been believing that it was an example of responsiveness by Purism
