The "I cannot have faith..." sentence. It makes it feel like a reddit message.
I would have worded it more factually without questioning the future of the company and motivation of the employees by calling them "lazy".
Devin informed me that Windows laptops are mandatory and that there no exceptions. Unfortunately, this does not align with my requirements stated during the interview process: Linux or Mac are my operating systems of choice.
Please consider informing future candidates of the tools they will be provided earlier in the process.
The assumption being made here is that the person actually stated their GO/NO-GO preferences during the process. Otherwise it is a waste of everybody's time to leave something so important to the day of signing.
The email is not very professional. Rejection of Windows is fine, but that if that's the kind of language the candidate uses at work, the company actually dodged a bullet.
GrapheneOS's propaganda about every android ROM being insecure except their's seems to working.
Nothing is 100% safe. There are varying degrees. GrapheneOS can be exploited just "the most secure phone OS" that is supposedly iOS.
If attestation is wrong and GrapheneOS is slamming another group for making an attestation system but GrapheneOS has its own attestation, doesn't that seem a bit hypocritical?
I disagree. Attestation is definitely not wrong in a corporate setting where you want applications to only run on safe devices.
Taken out of the corporate world, it is problematic though, that I can agree with. But the solution shouldn't be abolishing it without knowing why it exists. My guess is that there is a legal precedent or threat for it existing. Banks, healthcare applications and so on have a good reason to want to run in a secure environment. However, and this I'd where I think the alternative should be, users must have the option to opt out or say "I don't care what you think, this device is secure, I will be liable for any damages to my own data should this device be insecure".
Unified Attestation might actually be the way to include an opt out that is legally binding. So, again, instead of just taking a hard-line "no, I'm right all the time, my opinion is absolute", it might help to think critically about things and ask "why" and "what if".
Oh jetbrains... They merged that commit dialog into the sidebar to look like VS code, a move hated BT nearly everybody, and now this.
People use jetbrains because it's not VS code but they are hellbent on making a clone just in Java. Not the best move.
