GrapheneOS is the best! I can now confirm it works great on the tablet as well! I understand it’s ironic de-google phone/tablet with google hardware, but it just works better then anything else. Permission toggles, pin scrambling, auto-reboot, scopes, MAC randomization, isolated user profiles, longer passwords, sandboxed apps, open source firmware, no bloat & the battery life is incredible now.
It is easy to move to Linux & GrapheneOS full time & remove Apple, Google, Microsoft etc. It exceeded expectations so much so that I want to share it with other people. I cannot recommend this enough to improve your life. #FOSS
grapheneos (dot) org = more information!
Not sure tbh, but p sure Micay was swatted multiple times by some peeps who arent into GrapheneOS.
I’m pretty sure they were unconfirmed incidents and he refused to provide any kind of evidence they happened.
He also left the project a while back.
Oh gotcha. I was just taking his word for it since he posted about it on Mastodon.

Also, looks like he step down from leadership roles, but didn’t leave the project.
Those toots are also pretty confusing, since IIRC he’s referring to the supposed targeted harassment campaign he claims the CalyxOS devs launched against him. But he has never actually shown any evidence of this either, and just refers to his own past statements when asked.
Ah ok. None of the extracurricular stuff appeals to me either way.
He has helped me a ton. He has helped me understand a lot how GrapheneOS approaches things in a way that helps the user. He even implemented one of my suggestions a while back. I will forever appreciate his work.
I will always see him as a very intelligent, helpful, caring dev of a great project. He was a little odd at times, but I believe he meant well with everything he did.
A lot of people didn’t agree with how he ran things, so he ended up handing over control. I hope he gets the help he needs. I also hope whatever he does next is bigger and better.
I also hope nothing bad happens to GrapheneOS, this wouldn’t be the first time (if that is the case here) where government/big companies go after open source devs to reduce competition/gain more control. I could totally see the swatting being real but just not by another dev group.
I vaguely recall something like that in the Rossman video, but one shitty behavior doesn’t justify another.
