> Hardly a level-headed response, even if you disagree about the financial share of something According to the linked responses, the keys were not deleted because of disagreement over financial share, but over how the keys were to be used (in particular, in potentially dangerous security-wise ways), for which he did not want personal responsibility over (the keys belonged and used by him even before that project)

Phantom Secure is directly named as one of the parties Donaldson was dealing with, with others being suspected:
>Donaldson tried to make a deal with Phantom Secure, which ultimately didnt work out. Micay suspected other counterparties were linked to organized crime, but we cannot confirm those identities or ties on short notice. Donaldson began pursuing such deals before Micay left and continued afterward.

i think a lot of attention is rightly attributed to like, i dunno say tiktok/ig "influencing" and how that can send people who gain a lot of notoriety off the deep end. it absolutely has. but so do software projects. not enough people talk about how software projects also offer up a similar kind of atmosphere: you're suddenly hyperconnected with a whole bunch of humans you don't know and are receiving feedback from p…
I'm well familiar with what you're talking about. I see it in the emulation space as well. Famously so with byuu/near. We have all of the parasocial behavior from bystanders as well. Cult mentalities and hero-worship. It's quite a strange phenomenon.

> I'm more concerned that Signal incorporated in US is having easy life. To add - ironically, it was Durov (Telegram founder) who got arrested in Paris.
I don't find it ironic at all. Zero trust for anything Russia related.
Durov is about as anti-Putin and russia in general as one can get. He go fucked hard in russia and has been going extremely hard against the censorship in russia. TG is one of the few chat apps that can avoid russia's suppression measures, when everything else working over internet fails.

#128I love GrapheneOS and I use it daily for more than 2 years.

Even when they are 99% right most of the time, they sometimes don't come as mature and professional.
Have you considered that the smooth-talking "mature" and "professional" people are more likely to sell your data to advertisers at the first opportunity?

It's a personality type / disorder (pick your poison). There's no hope for change. Programming seems to attract such people, because they are fixated on being right and proving that they are right. I know a few more examples. My common sense policy is - if the software these types produce works for me, I will be using it, but I will never allow myself to be dependent on it. That kind of person will gladly burn their…
