I just thought he dipped I don't always check what's up with the community of the software I'm using is about unless I am deploying it. (Didn't even realize Mull's dev Divested Computing Group (which was more like Divested Computing One Really Industrious Fellow it turns out) shut down for like a month so I am trying to set up more notifications.) My mobile browser is barely even a part of my workflow. I appreciate you telling me because a lot of creepy things happen to privacy researchers!!! And then people just forget!!!!!
He was ukrainian I believe, so it may just have been war related. Forgot password and had a password manager or sum. I don't think he was violated as an individual. DivestOS: Yeah, it's just been him. And he has been doing a phenomenal job, exceeding many groups. But he said that after 10 years of the same thing he wanted to do something else.

Smart enough to flee doesn't necessarily make you lucky enough to make it out
