aphorism

Not a sock, just finally annoyed enough to actually login and say something.

I can see you can't engage about this without hurling wild accusations, so peace 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.

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?

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.

Why would debunking factual inaccuracies be a red flag? It's the rational action to take, actually. Big corporations often don't respond because their lawyers tell them not to. Surely you're not saying that's a green flag?

I'm sure it's exhausting producing an awesome product, only to get crapped on by governments and corporations that hate privacy and drama-farming Twitter randos, but debunking bad-faith bullshit is nothing if not rational in a world where reputation matters.

Nah, that's more to do with the fact that governments use Signal and Meredith Whittaker is not to be trifled with.

Which "bad behavior" are you talking about?

Calyx Institute and GrapheneOS are both really great projects. I support them both. I rely on products from both.

You're not doing either project any favors by pretending that hastily generalizing nerd dramas and autism over-corrections is somehow a broad statement on the neutrality and objectivity of GrapheneOS's team or the high-quality product it produces.

This kind of bad faith posting is bad for the whole FOSS/libre community, and it's both dumb and rude, in contradiction of HN's site guidelines.
