@centopus personally, I see @AsahiLinux as a "canary" project in that regard.

@linuxfoundation and @torvalds need to enshure that toxicity and neighsayers are toned down way harder, cuz bullying people like #marcan into quitting isn't gonna help anyone and will only damage #Linux by making it look like the "#Neckbeard" #TechBro shitshow that #Lunduke, RMS et. al. stan for...

• I literally know a shitload of trans, non-binary or just non-#WHCM [white hetero/cis (binary) male] persons who refuse to even consider upstreaming or contributing to #Linux, #GNU or any #FLOSS projects at all due to the sheer #toxicity observed externally.

And that is a problem even if we don't care about #diversity, #equity and #inclusiom but merely the #survival of said #OpenSource projects!

• Cuz why would I (or anyone else) want to work with/on/for a company/project that'll get me (deservedly [!!!]) side-eyed at best if not unfriended by the few people I care about personally?

@centopus again, I consider this the other way around.

The whole #hate against #Rust is as absurd as the hate against #SystemD and #Wayland, because if #SysVinit and #Xorg were viable people would've fixed them.

And @AsahiLinux delivered results at neck-breaking speeds thx to #marcan & @lina ...

@AsahiLinux FUCK

I've followed #Marcan (did he leave Mastodon too??) since the Wii days. This is absolutely horrible to see and YES the fault most definitely lies with @torvalds more than anything else here.

I wish you luck trying to continue the same fight against ivory tower kernel elitists as he did.

Apple Silicon being - easily - the best CPU/GPU on the market means it should have full attention from people who wish to see Linux used also on the desktop.

@AsahiLinux It's sad to hear, but I'll accept that decision.

• Please sent him my regards, cuz he's being missed already in the Fediverse (maybe he rejoins on a more private account, IDK...)

Let him, know he's based af and that the way @linuxfoundation handled the "Anti-#Rust - Gang" is just inexcuseable and that I wish for @torvalds et. al. to not just take notes but actual #consequences given that the reasons that made @marcan@treehouse.systems quit are systemic!

BTW: here's his personal blogpost for everyone else who also cares...
