Hector and others were really bad losses for the Rust kernel devs but Lina? That’s catastrophic. She was a figurehead in getting apple silicon working so well on Linux that even Linus moved his development machine to an M1 Macbook.

Linus has royally fucked it with how long he sat on the side of this. Im so sorry to Lina and others who have been burned by this community.

“Please don’t make assumptions”

Lemmy people continuing to make the wildest assumptions.

sigh

Aw man :( Asahi Lina and her GPU project has been an inspiration for me. Hope she is alright.

I imagine Ted T’so and dis stupid ‘thin blue line’ comment as well as him yelling at previous rust devs during in person meet ups was not happening in a vacuum.

Linus has really failed at punishing these characters before toxcitiy killed any rust momentum at all.

I left this post intentionally vague and scary so everyone speculates on why

Damn, marcan and asahi lina…

asahi project might be dead in the water now, that blows.

I find comments questioning Lina to be incredibly sus in origin and intention.

I hope Lina & Cyan are safe.

Is this related to the kernel/rust drama, or the political situation in the US. Sure, the drama could have been handled better by the maintainers, but would that make Asahi lina feel unsafe?

I guess all sort of neckbeards are feeling empowered to spew hatred on the internet right now.

Sounds like interpersonal conflict. Always sucks to see a productive dev quit though.

I wasn’t sure if Hector was gonna quit vtubing too after the Rust thing. Kind of a delayed response as his alter ego but it makes sense.

I thought Asahi Luna is a tulpa of marcan, aren’t they related?
