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

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.

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.

she.

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 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 stancegulf of what exactly?

The Rust war is a travesty for OSS.

It seems Phoronix account-walled the comments section. Hmm.
-
Holy shit, for phoronix to actually lock the comments for once it must have been dire
-
Yeah it was terrible, he should have walled it earlier than he did.
-
I can only guess. People really act terrible sometimes.
-
-
Do you blame them for that considering the shit that's hurled at Hector and Lina?
-
Actually haven't seen the comments myself but I can guess at this point. Maybe he should've completely disable it for the article.

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?
-
Someone might want to check that, because IIRC it was someone else's alter ego.
