That whole story is debatable at best. Here's just some of the things that make you scratch your head and wonder how much of it is really true:
- Author of the fork claiming that he recieved 70+ calls on his pinephone and jokingly said it didn't crash. [1]
- He deletes said tweet moments after someone asked him how anyone might've found his pinephone number despite it not being on his website or social media. [2]
- Then he says he doesn't have any proof becuse he had to wipe/reflash his phone due to his pinephone crashing (this directly contradicts his previous tweet). After being called out, he immediately deleted his HackerNews post. [3]
- The author was posting f-word and r-words on his github bio. [4]
