Doesn't mean it can't be worse than before. Besides, if there are real limitations, well, blawar does what he can, but it's still the truth, if there are things that worked before and don't work now, then it' s getting worse.
Name some exclusive features. I'm sure it's really not that much of a big deal

Again you are missing the point, but whatever
The features were literally right above your post, on the previous page now*, but people are complaining about things that disappeared, that's because it used to work, therefore it's worse than before, simple logic. The fact that the features are not much of a big deal to you doesn't mean the software is less functioning. But at least it still installs nsp and xci.

Even with less its still the best. I do understand and sympathize with the frustration of losing features that did work before. I am simply doing what I have always done though, encourage users to use the best CFW with the best user experience. Almost all issues users experience, are issues with atmosphere.

If it just checks for a license but not whether it's valid you could try just having an empty license.dat file on the root of SD. Haven't tried though.
You do know the license is attached to the system. Tinfoil checks that. If it doesnt match the system, it wont work

this is some really cowardly reasoning. "I'm just sooo sorry about taking features that were already in, you should understand that I'm trying to herd you to pay money for SXOS."

Look at it like this: you aren't entitled to anything from me. If I do not want to write features for atmosphere users, well you will just have to get over that. Be happy for what you have :) Happy new year.

the homebrew dev should really respect people's choice of CFW. I am totally disgusted by what they did with tinfoil and hbg shop. I am glad I do not use those things. you should not disable anything in your code. someone will make another better installer and kick your asses.

I would lose respect for someone who add delete command to delete license.dat in his or her homebrew app and keep it closed sourced. I hope you see my point.

No one said they are entitled to anything, me and others are just saying that you are obviously avoiding the truth here. You already developed features that would work perfectly fine in atmosphere and devised a way to make them stop working because you have a grudge. This is extremely childish and petty, and doesn't reflect very good on you. The scene already has great installers that have nothing to do with you at all, and the scene can easily leave you behind for shit like this.

There is a stark difference between sabotaging a CFW by writing to it, and simply not writing software or software for it. I do not do anything malicious to Atmosphere users. The fact that you mention the app is closed source, only highlights your entitlement. I do not owe you source code, and I do not have to respect your "CFW of choice".

You are entitled, because you believe I should make my app work for you. The amount of effort required to create a feature is irrelevant here, you feel I should write completely unrestricted software for you. You also seem to be delusional, thinking I care whether you use the app or not.

For every user like yourself, there are 10,000 happy Tinfoil users who appreciate the work I do for them for free without making demands. That is who I write software for :grog:

It's really fucking rich for you to intentionally take out features for certain CFW and then call those users entitled. I don't even use your app. I don't give a shit about you giving me ANYTHING. I just think it's hilariously sad and pathetic to intentionally strip out features after they already worked.

If Apple was blocking gmail on iPhones, do you think that Tim Cook would be calling people who complained entitled? This is just petty bullshit, from a lot of petty bullshit you have shoved in the past.

Can you elaborate on how I am entitled by removing icons?
