👉 Leadership reflects the project 👈 An issue we've been quiet about for months...it's time to show the kind of leadership put forward from GrapheneOS, certain members of their community, and their lead developer - Daniel Micay.

    Haven’t watched the video, but I’ve had interactions with Daniel Micay and… Not exactly pleasant. Very sure of having the one true way™ and unwilling to consider people may have slightly different threat models. Got accused of being an astroturfer for CalyxOS instead (Have never used it, my arguments aimed at Puri.sm-style hardware switches). Am still using Graphene, because it comes closest to my needs, but the whole thing sure left a bad taste in my mouth (and I steadfastly abstain from conversations where Micay is likely to get involved). But then, I’ve similar experiences with OpenBSD, Exherbo Linux, and pulseaudio and systemd. There is a type of developer that manages to force their vision on a project with singular zeal, but is very unpleasant to even slightly challenge. Your only real choice is to subscribe to that vision to a potentially uncomfortable degree, or to dismiss the project.

      I had no idea these issues existed before I decided to switch to it. It leaves a sour taste in my mouth as well. The only thing that makes me glad is installing Graphene was a stop gap so that I felt comfortable continuing to use this phone. My plan was to switch to something else with my next hardware choice and this helps solidify that decision.

        NoGoolag chat Telegram group, last I checked, consisted of 3300 people. And they shitpost racist and CCP Pooh stickers and memes all day. Go figure the rest.
