I gave an example of something I remembered from last month. I can't remember the exact name of the account, and I normally block them afterwards or mute them from the feed.
The reason I am complaining about this is I was trying to find some good info to send to a friend. I ended up making my own videos to send to them as I had 3 or 4 different people asking me to show them how to do things on Debian. So I ended up recording how to do it myself.
I will also complain about it in the manner I wish. Since you have no called me a clown, I will now complain about it more vaguely.
I legitimately do not understand this kind of behavior.
A: "I have an excellent example that clearly illustrates my point."
B: "Great, what is it?"
A: "Uhm, if you don't already know, then you're stupid. You can easily find it anywhere."
We're gatekeeping evidence that supports our claims now?
>Many corporations require personal devices be managed to support remote wiping.
Corporations cannot require you to have your personal devices be managed by them. If you're surrendering your own gear to a company, it stops being your own device.
But they can require things of devices connected to their wifi or being brought to their premises. You are welcome to leave the device at home if you don't want to consent.
Depends on the local laws. Where I live, they can either deal with it, or provide a secured storage space for the duration of the visit.
Either way, if a corporation wants their employees to use a device, they are obliged to make one available. Surrendering your private equipment to their management makes it not yours anymore.
Yeah you're 100% right that it's optional. It's usually only required to allow company data such as email, slack, file sharing etc on your personal device. If you're on-call it is VERY rare for an employee to win a fight on making the company provide a dedicated device for that purpose (which can inherently make it a condition of your job but that's an exception).
Most employees tend to not care about the why and are happy to just do it making "you" (the one bucking the trend) the oddball. The one not being the team player. It's not legally required, and you won't be fired for it, but its strongly socially encouraged and that makes it mandatory for anyone not willing to put up that fight.
On iOS there is the concept of "Managed Apps" that is appropriate for a BYOD scenario. They are info sandboxed and can't share information (either direction) with unmanaged apps. That would count as an MDM enrollment, if you are looking for it.
This is besides the point. The lead dev started going on a rant when facing a comment as simple as "this is informative, and unfortunate" on a video that he didn't like, and is unable to parse that statement as anything else but a personal attack at him. He threatened banning Louis over that unless he completely gave in. You can see the whole discussion in the video linked in the post above.
It's a communication issue at the core, and always doubling down is not making it any better.
It portrays the whole project as being unreliable.
I know the whole story in depth and you keep iterating over the same thing.
If this person has indeed mental issues, to publicly expose it in a degrading light does not help him, or anyone else really.
If he doesn't have mental issues then all this discussion is unjustly defaming a person and damaging perception around mental issues.
Either way this discussion is bad.
You are the one portraying the project as unreliable. I only judge GrapheneOS by the actual output being delivered, the code and and the binary that is. And if you go down the route of validating the output based on his behaviour then i would flip it on you. I would much rather use an OS developed by a paranoid guy who thinks everyone hunts them. I'd bet it's more secure.
But this is silly-talk. What matters is the deliverable. Has the project given any evidence of being unreliable or not teustworthy?
Posting "this is informative, and unfortunate" as a comment to a video with a bunch of inflammatory accusations is giving credence to and expressing approval at the substance of it's content.
So no, it isn't as "simple" as the issue being only the literal content of that comment. The context matters.
As someone else pointed out, it's not just the comment. There's context you're either ignoring because it's inconvenient for you, or you don't know because you couldn't be bothered to learn more about it.
The video is harassment content, plain and simple. It's filled with disinformation and he lied about not using GrapheneOS moving forward. The developer was swatted multiple times, then when upset with Rossmann he tried to talk to him about his support for harassment content (the swatter was a fan), and instead of being a decent human being, Rossmann made a video of it while it was happening.
He didn't step away. He made a post where he "stepped down" as the project lead and instead got replaced by a "GrapheneOS Foundation director", of which there are 3 including him.
That post has been deleted.
As far as I can tell, nothing has changed other than obscuring the leadership of the project a tiny bit. strcat is still active here in the comments.
If so, I'm glad he's still project lead. I would have immediately written off GrapheneOS as a lost cause if he wasn't.
I have spent many hours browsing his comment history and reading his extremely detailed posts on Android and smartphone security. He obviously knows what he's doing. Not only is he competent, it's also clear that he cares way too much about GrapheneOS and is personally invested in it.
Competence and actually giving a shit are the two attributes I respect most in a person. I wouldn't want anyone else making decisions.
And that's coming from a guy who publicly disagreed with him on some ideological issue literally three days ago:
> Is strcat the person who supposedly stepped down?
They're misrepresenting our announcement. It's unsurprising since it's in the context of supporting harassment towards me based on fabrications. Unfortunately, Hacker News consistently permits baselessly calling people insane, schizophrenic, etc. and pushing fabricated stories about them.
Damn, if only we had some form of technology that would let a user allow or reject access to system APIs. Sadly this is impossible and cannot be implemented.
F-16 was the first inherently unstable jet fighter, and the first one that featured a full fly-by-wire system with no backup. If you want a jet that is completely impossible to fly without a computer, F-16 is already one of them - there is nothing special with the F-35 about that.
Only on HN do people argue about an initial comment that they find nothing incorrect about, until they can find a little thing to be able to write "ahah you're wrong!"
