Mental health and wellness issues in high tech research and development are everywhere. I would suggest that you focus on the product and what it can/cannot do for you.

Suggest away. It’s still a factor in my decision making, because if I can’t trust the developers to behave well, i can’t trust the product to continue to do what it says it can do for me.

Same, which is why I'm glad he deleted the signing key in this case. It was the only right play given the situation. I'd have done the same and I'd expect anyone with integrity to do likewise.

I love GrapheneOS and I use it daily for more than 2 years. However, and as Louis Rossmann pointed out in one of his videos, they really need to work on the "defensiveness" and "rants" of their communication. Even when they are 99% right most of the time, they sometimes don't come as mature and professional.

So what if they're defensive and cringe in their rants? Are you so indoctrinated into believing performative aloofness is "professional" that you can't see clearly?

I personally can't understand why anyone bothers doing open source anything. This Micay guy spends so much time and does something hugely beneficial and we're arguing about how he responds to criticism? I'd rather direct and blunt rather than the weasel words and lies most companies put out.

Some of us embrace our humanity and have an ethical and moral need to engage with the world we want to live in rather than the world dominant economic forces would prefer us to engage in.

Speaking of trust issues, Rossmann's claim he was going to stop using GrapheneOS proved to be a lie, he was caught using it for months after. He knew it was impossible for us to target him with an individual update, that didn't stop him from including that supposed fear in his sob story though.

He made it sound like Daniel was going crazy on him for no apparent reason over a single comment he posted on the Techlore video when for one, we were wary of him already due to past disagreements and, more importantly, that very video is responsible for the swatting attacks that were aimed at getting Daniel killed by law enforcement. The swatting attacks were carried out by someone who loved the Techlore video a little too much. Do you see where I'm going? Rossmann had voiced his support for the very video that is responsible for the attempted murder on Daniel's life, I reckon you will understand that Daniel was upset over this.

Not much time had passed since these attacks took place so Daniel messaged Rossmann to figure this out and explain to him what this was all about. In private mind you, whereas Rossmann decided this was peak content and live streamed it while the chat was still taking place. Any human being with a basic sense of empathy and decency would have not done this since it was obvious that Daniel was in a bad headspace.

Yet he did so anyway. I guess that's not all too surprising given it was an excellent catch for his following on Kiwi Farms which he caters to.

All of the defensiveness is warranted. They speak neutrally and objectively. The project is not going to relinquish control to any 3rd party. Not even the Motorola partnership is given control over the GOS project. The hypothetical you describe is not possible by design. The GOS project takes no issue with critical thinking, and encourages it. But that is often used as an excuse to handwave attacks. There is a very b…

No. He is not. He's posted before at times that Micay cannot possibly be online at. He is a different person entirely. This is easily disproven by thinking about the logistics. Unless you think Daniel Micay is up 24/7.
