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.

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.

Who's cyan? What's going on?

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.

There's also Kiwi Farms targeted harassment involved as well

I understood it that Lina is Hector's altar ego.

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

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

Hadn't heard of that, but can't say I'm surprised.

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

You understood wrong and are contributing to the problem.

It's a thing you can look up on search engines or Wikipedia very easily: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VTuber

Ah yes
I'm going to mention this obscure weird shit and then berrate you about not using a search engine

i know it's wrong to make assumptions, but it seems that, on top of all that rust/c war, her partner was undergoing some serious problems. it seems that she chose to prioritize her personal life and assessed that developing those drivers wasn't worth all the harassment in this situation.

No way! The same Cyan from overlysarcasticproductions?
