I personally can't understand why anyone bothers doing open source anything.

This Micay guy spends so much time and does something hugely beneficial and we're arguing about how he responds to criticism?

I'd rather direct and blunt rather than the weasel words and lies most companies put 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.
I can understand that, but for me he doesn't come across as a "bad" person. He hasn't come out with racism, sexism, etc. he just comes across a bit rude and blunt IMO.

I'm much more concerned with companies that claim to support LGBQT+ and then stick a flag up for 10 minutes once a year, or companies who make 10% of their workforce redundant because they want to pay themselves more, or companies who on one hand support green initiatives and then behind the scenes do the complete opposite.

The GrapheneOS team does find corporate speak/slop to be undesirable. I appreciate that a lot.
