What are your thoughts on Louis Rossmann?
-
He’s probably overly defensive and paranoid and interprets some forms of criticism as attacks.
I think this was also a result of his “miscommunication” in the past
there might also be parties involved who are ACTUALLY interested in attacking GrapheneOS and weakening its popularity, for their own gains.
when your successful and also high-quality project is under regular attacks from various angles
Rossman’s over-dramatic nature and high reach
then communication spirals out of control into various escalations
You should actually look at any of the copious amounts of evidence that involve this conversation instead of just imagining what it might look like. There's really not much else to talk about until you do. Daniel has given us zero evidence to support his side, while in contrast there's a mountain of evidence against him.

Linus asked to handle it privately to keep drama out of the tech space. Louis somehow decided it was a good idea to start massive drama instead of trying to resolve it quietly.
Steve using Louis to fire shots while pretending to be on the high ground and not responding publicly was also rather pathetic.
-
He’s fine. His videos come off as a bit whiny. The stance of pirating content as being justified instead of just abstaining from an unsatisfactory service seems entitled to me but I get it. I think he’s mostly right in his analysis of things, I don’t make it through every video that he posts though
-
He’s autistic, that’s why he’s socially awkward. It was mentioned in one of his videos a few years ago.
-
The ones that are speaking out against him have all been removed, and I doubt YouTube would do that automatically. Found a very in depth comment on my TV but couldn't on 3 other devices.
-
Clearly I missed that video. Thanks for letting me know! That makes his views and attitudes make a little more sense.
(I also didn't mean socially awkward as an insult or anything, I certainly have no room to talk)
-
His board repair videos were outstanding. I don't especially enjoy his rants. He's usually right, but I don't really care to listen to how mad he is about it. I can get mad on my own.
-
I’m socially awkward, but that’s probably just paranoia and PTSD from my time in the military.
-
this tbh, I can understand how some might think Louis Rossmann is annoying, but for the most part what I notice is that he is a vocal advocate and we are lucky to have him, I'm a fan even if he's annoying.
-
good, but man his videos on the SteamDeck are really over negative for no reason. For someone who really supports Linux he doesn't seem to much appreciate the thing getting Linux to mainstream popularity
-
I think I agree with most comments here.
He's usually right and I agree with him, I just find him a little hard to watch. His videos are a bit long winded.
I 100% support him. I think his heart and mind are in the right place.
-
I don't think there is such a thing as over-the-top with this issue. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile. And we're already miles past that point.
-
wow not a single mention of how he has a Kiwi Farms account in the comments here, surprising
-
Ah yeah that's pretty solid evidence. My own experience has been with my own comments getting removed, and it happening far too quickly to be manual moderation. If you actually saw someone else's comment, and then noticed it gone, it's hard to call that anything other than a deliberate silencing of their viewpoint.
-
We are allowed to guide the growth of things and show where they need work.
Didn't you people have report cards?
-
Soo, what? Does he actively participate in harassment?
-
I was just saying the other day it feels like he gets through all that needs to be said in the first half of the video and then spends the rest ranting/reiterating himself. But I think he has good talking points
-
He fights the good fight but I don't like his videos very much because he's very whiny and annoying.
-
Lol, him screaming quietly pisses me off.
-
The TTS uses whisper and absolutely dominates. But it is garbage still as a swipe interface. It direly needs to catch up on that front before I can recommend it full-time to friends. I spend SO much time retyping things it gets wrong.
