The authors inability to understand this really makes wonder how much of the rest of their story is essentially self-inflicted.

The whole section about him working for DOGE to "embark on a journey to save our government" tells you everything you need to know about him.

Hilarious. If your tools run arbitrary instructions from stdout you are a clown and deserve to be clowned upon.

Its word against word in this situation. The logs prove nothing as they are easily modifiable and the devs had a good reason to do so.

I do enjoy a good Ed Zitron sneer. The fact that the original article moved markets says a lot about the critical thinking skills of stock market traders.

Which success? I still see those things churning out laughably wrong code at every turn.

Good riddance. 213 MW of peak power draw is insane, that's equivalent to all homes of Glasgow and Edinburgh combined.

Its strange to me that Linux dropped Itanium two years ago but they decided to keep supporting Alpha and PA-RISC.

It also buffers the downloaded data completely into memory last time I checked. So downloading a file bigger than the available RAM just doesn't work and you have to use WebClient instead.

Another fun one is Extract-Archive which is painfully slow while using the System.IO.Compression.ZipFile CLR type directly is reasonably fast. Powershell is really a head scratcher sometimes.

I don't disagree about leaving France over their position on chat control or legislation.

I disagree about them essentially spreading misinformation about what actually happened. One prosecutor, that probably doesn't even know what GrapheneOS is, making boisterous claims to the press, is not the same as being contacted by the state about adding a backdoors.

This looks hugely blown out of proportion. The project founder has a well documented history of what I would consider a persecution complex. Once again he has provided no substantial evidence. The only thing they provided are some, admittedly borderline libelous, news articles. Unless they provide some more concrete information about these supposed attempts of getting a backdoor installed into the system, I will consider this as just another day of GrapheneOS drama.

This is handled in the employment contract. The "Urheberrecht" is not transferable only inheritable, but you can grant "Nutzungsrechte" which means "rights of use". So in your contract you just grant your employer unrestricted and exclusive rights of use.
