Not sure I'd trust Graphene so long as Daniel is still involved

In all the time i looked online Ive never found a legitimate basis for these vague claims of drama around Graphene. See a lot of it in Louis Rossman circles (nothing against him, but he made a dramatic video on YT about leaving GrapheneOS) it's reactionary at best. Someone got blocked people got mad, full story only the ones directly involved know.

Louis was directly involved with this. He's the one who exposed the whole situation and brought receipts.

Daniel is extremely paranoid (arguably part of why GOS is as secure as it is), but that paranoia can also lead to anxiety and assuming everyone is "out to get you".

Daniel resigned 2 years ago and I always see these comments conveniently leave that out.

Daniel resigned as the head developer a few years ago.

The incident in question happened before that. Also, he's still listed as a Graphene OS Foundation director, which means he still has a lot of pull.

I always see these comments conveniently leave that out.

You should probably brush up on your research instead of simping.

My point stands, a lot of petty personal stuff that seems unrelated to GrapheneOS. But there is never anything fruitful from engaging you types.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl -1 points 3 days ago

Lots of people blocked. Rossman made excellent points.

Techlore and Rrossman both have excellent videos going into detail the long history of his negative impacts on the community

Because linking to the site itself rather than the video is useless - https://techlore.tv/w/auQigUjYTqkME1Bj7uPEPm
