    Someone: *Makes a cool hobby project*

    Internet people: “Trash. I don’t approve. How dare you make something that isn’t useful to me. Fuck you and die.”

      Someone: makes something completely and utterly useless.

      Internet people: voice justified criticism.

      Half wits: “how dare you criticise the creators!”

        Why does the end product of an electronics learning project need to be useful? Or any hobby project? Your criticism was that their hobbies should yield something useful, but where’s the “justification” for that? What’s wrong with just having fun?

        Quarter wits: “How dare you have fun”

          So we agree it is useless? OK.

        Dude. It’s a hobby project. It doesn’t need to solve major global market problems for you. What an absolutely bizarre thing to get this angry over.

            Pal, my dude, my buddy, you’re raging against someone’s garage proof-of-concept as if they held the key to the software problems on modern smartphones, and downvoting anyone who tells you to chill out. Lots of people do much more useless things than this every day, so why does this one thing enrage you so much?

          many people call you useless,

          You must be thinking about your parents and yourself.
