        Being down one person isn't a death sentence.

        (this is a joke based on the conspiracy theory they're the same person; I haven't looked into it too much, but there are some details that add up)

            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 hadn't heard of that comment, which wasn't as dumb as it sounds, though some obvious solutions were overlooked and the phrasing wasn't great.

                I did a bit more research into this and it seems this conspiracy is largely spearheaded by Kiwifarms, so I do feel a bit bad by bringing it up, just by being on the home page you can tell they aren't good people.

                  For personal reasons, I no longer feel safe working on Linux GPU drivers or the Linux graphics ecosystem. I've paused work on Apple GPU drivers indefinitely.

                  If you think you know what happened or the context, you probably don't. Please don't make assumptions. Thank you.

                  I'm safe physically, but I'll be taking some time off in general to focus on my health.

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

                      For anyone who is unaware of Kiwifarms


                      “Kiwi Farms, formerly known as CWCki Forums (/ˈkwÉȘki/ KWIH-kee), is a web forum that facilitates the harassment of online figures and communities. Their targets are often subject to organized group trolling and stalking, as well as doxing and real-life harassment.[3][4][5] Kiwi Farms has been tied to the deaths of three people who were victims of harassment and died by suicide.[6][7][8]”

                        Yea, they'd been making huge progress. Doubtful it'll continue, certainly not at the same pace if it does.

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

                            I hope Lina & Cyan are safe.

                              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.

                                  Cyan is Lina's partner. Cyan is the vtuber name but apparently they met IRL about a year ago.

                                    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.
