Hey Birdie, where's Tuca?

What happens when the user forgets their username or their password, or the password is leaked, or the hash algorithm gets cracked by a rainbow table?

Which algorithm in particular would you use? Do you have a technical specification and reference implementation for your system?

Are any of these points unsolvable engineering problems?

Currently, yes.

Exactly. I'm glad he is trying to get out before something even worse happens.

No, I was just asking whether you're familiar with him or ever interacted with him. Why would you think I would assert he would deserve to be swatted?

Most people don't deserve to be swatted, including Daniel Micay. However, it's not exactly surprising this happened based on the tone in the GrapheneOS community.

Maybe read the comments on reddit and the Grapheneos forums to get a better picture: https://www.reddit.com/r/PrivacyGuides/comments/13spm4d/daniel_micay_steps_down_as_lead_developer_of/

So you're familiar with his history? Which events lead to the swatting?

[–] Helix@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Just because some people are out to get you, not everyone is. Obviously his paranoia is understandable.

yeah, I was banned for asking questions in the support Matrix channel because they were all super on edge. Hope this gets better and people finally calm down. It's not a good thing to get gray hair about FOSS.

Daniel stepping down is a huge move both for him personally and for the community as a whole. I hope he can finally have peace with the project and not be anxious about swatting and the like.

That guy is pretty sensitive to everyone and everything, getting paranoid to the point of thinking everyone is out to get him. Some of them are out to get him after all – in any case, I wish him the best and that his mental health and well-being gets better :)

Just pirate and emulate it then. Thinking about selling my switch and getting a Steam Deck. Next Nintendo console won't be bought because of that bullshit they always force on their consumers.

it doesn’t remember the way i’ve answered this question 100 times already

Oh, it remembers. It just doesn't care. Or more nefariously: it wants you to do the opposite.
