GrapheneOS won't survive the next generation of devices because bootloader unlocking will also go away (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44765939), and without kernel security updates that OS can't continue.

It's 100% a push to remove human creators from the equation entirely.
That makes it easier to get started than say Python where you have to depend on multiple third party libraries with different support cycles, API styles, or even async programming models (e.g. gevent vs async/await in Python). And you can still swap components out if needed.
Not saying Rust or Python etc. are bad for writing startup software. Given the ecosystems I personally find it faster to get started with .NET because of the reasons above.
It sounds like systemctl --force --force reboot will just invoke the `reboot` syscall directly and thus avoid this issue.
Passing another amendment will accomplish nothing, it will get ignored just like the 4th one.
This is the author choosing to work for free (which is fine), wanting to get paid (which is fine, and I do suggest he does charge for his software), and this thread making up an alleged ethical obligation to pay for something which has a price tag of zero.
By releasing this library at no charge, the author is valuing his software at zero dollars. Downstream users accept his offer.
There is no story here.
The current goverment is very unpopular, but the SPÖ in the opposition has failed to capitalize on that and is currently polling below the governing ÖVP [2]. This incident will not help.
