I dont know anything at all, thats why i am asking. Apple not being fan of Foss on their devices was just the first thing that comes to mind. EDIT: Just saw you quoted them, nvm, thanks for the relay

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.

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 stance gulf of what exactly?

I don't buy shit based on a promise or expectation. I buy it based on what it is for me now. It's the same reason I don't pre-order games.

Where has Apple reversed there diversity programmes. As far as I have heard them and Costco are some of the only companies that didn't.

You are right and I am wrong ; I guess I jumped too fast after the gulf of america thing.

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.

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.

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?

15

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