  "textContent": "I want to take a moment to offer some praise to the team at Calyx and at the same time push back on what I think will be some negative comments about the project.\n\nIt should be commended that the team instead of abandoning the project has made a concerted effort to bring us another viable option to Graphene. Even if you, yourself, do not use nor will ever use CalyxOS it is critical to recognize that each implementation makes the entire community more resilient as well as helps us bring to new users privacy respecting software. After installing the recently released testing version on my device I have had no issues. The team has involved the community to help find any issues before any official release. All this has happened with transparency and stands in contrast to Calyx from a few years ago. They are open, honest, and communicative.\n\nWhen the broader privacy community sees ghosts everywhere and refuses to let teams rebuild trust, develop new capabilities, and find new direction, we all weaker for it. It is essential for us to have some humility when making claims, especially ones that defame people who are actively spending their time working to make our lives better.\n\nI will be donating to the Calyx team to show my support for the project to communicate my appreciation for the effort they went through to get us here. And at this moment I can say confidently that they have earned my trust.\n\nMake no mistake. Working for the public good whether that is in politics, tech, finance-or whatever you can think of-is hard work. It is often messy. It comes with setbacks. That is the reality of it. Don’t discount your allies.",
