I believe this statement is a protest about apple following the current trend of oligarchy brown-nosing the musk/trump administration and reversing all inclusive and diversity programmes, supports and policies.
Edit: seems to be more about harassment
It’s cute to see the massive amount of “take care of yourself! Your health is more important than work!” on Mastodon, but I feel it is completely beside the point.
I bought my m mac because of the Asahi project ; I wouldn’t buy it today because of apple current stance gulf of what exactly?
AFAIK, lina is a trans woman, so you might want to rephrase the alter ego part.
Also, I do not understand the part that they “quit already”. Do you mean that this dude started working on Apple GPU drivers then quit and then line picked it up? Why would that be a bad thing?

It seems Phoronix account-walled the comments section. Hmm.

Do you blame them for that considering the shit that’s hurled at Hector and Lina?

Feel safe?
You think Apple is targeting them?EDIT: not the case for all we know, situation seems to be complex and they don’t want speculation

Well, Apple aren’t Boeing.
I would like to think that the days of Steve Jobs storming into a meeting and firing everyone are past us.

You are right and I am wrong ; I guess I jumped too fast after the gulf of america thing.

I don't buy shit based on a promise or expectation. I buy it based on what it is for me now.
It's the same reason I don't pre-order games.
From what I know it’s the people who are using asahi linux in general and it’s drivers.
Heard he got sent death threats.

An obviously talented programmer is no longer working on a free project that very few people can meaningfully contribute to - that is a shame.
I can’t even get myself to learn rust, let alone make a GPU driver while reverse engineering blackbox hardware.

I dont know anything at all, thats why i am asking. Apple not being fan of Foss on their devices was just the first thing that comes to mind.
EDIT: Just saw you quoted them, nvm, thanks for the relay
No worries! Thanks for updating your comment :)

Someone might want to check that, because IIRC it was someone else’s alter ego.
I don’t think this is true, they showed up to an event in person… people would’ve noticed.
When?
Scroll through their mastodon, it’s there somewhere, I’ll look later if you can’t find it

Actually haven’t seen the comments myself but I can guess at this point. Maybe he should’ve completely disable it for the article.
Yeah it was terrible, he should have walled it earlier than he did.
I can only guess. People really act terrible sometimes.
Holy shit, for phoronix to actually lock the comments for once it must have been dire
The Rust war is a travesty for OSS.
