While his perceptions of other people's motives and meanings may be suspect, his technical analysis seems pretty spot on.

Honestly if I had to deal with degooglers and Linux fanboys as much as he did I'd probably go batshit insane. Kudos to him

His technical chops are without question. However he has been so over the top obnoxious to MANY other leaders in the privacy space. He really hurts his own cause by refusing to acknowledge there are other threat models that can be solved with other answers.

Agree, he’s a bit paranoid and delusional. I think that may speak to his psychological profile. Who designs an impenetrable OS except someone who is a little paranoid?

One might argue it would be more difficult to do if you're not a little paranoid.

Let's call a spade a spade: He is a raging asshole with severe clinical paranoia. I'm literally certain that if he saw this post he'd accuse me of being a shill for calyxos and to never fucking again interact with any grapheneos account. Both have happened to me before (Hence I refuse to ever interact with his troupe again, even though I use graphene and agree with the vast majority of its technical decisions; I have also stopped actively recommending it to anyone, the social media experience is simply way too attrocious).
