    He’s certainly “unique”.

    I feel like he only gets away with it because people find the Dev of a privacy OS being incredibly paranoid somewhat reassuring…

      He gets away with it because he makes a high quality OS that people want to use. I don’t see it as much worse than e.g. using Linux when Torvalds is kind of an asshole.

        “kind of an asshole” is a huge understatement. He’s said some truly unforgivable things

        There are other reasons to not use Linux, but Linux (+glibc +systemd +libinput…) is basically “the Unix” nowadays…
