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.

I can’t share any more information at this time, so please don’t ask for more details. Thank you.

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.

Well that’s sudden.

      Twas the same person, AFAIK

      Edit: Apparently they’re not, or at least there’s a bunch of controversy there I have absolutely no intention of getting into.

        These talking points about identity originated from kiwi farms.

        It’s this kind of weird unhealthy speculation that gets people to step down.

        I’d not perpetuate their views.

            A hate site where a lot of the worst of 4chan/8chan racist, nationalist, and lgbtq-phobic types congregate to organize harassment campaigns against people they don’t like. They have been linked to multiple people committing suicide.

              From my admittedly third person perspective, I wouldn’t classify it a “hate site”. A “lolcow” (or who they classify) tracking/doxxing hub, sure. Completely unhinged, sure, but I dunno if I’d consider it a “hate site” specifically…I’d also saying writing it off as just hateful really doesn’t do it justice, for how bad it really is.

              If anyone’s interested in a broad overview of the history/point of KF, I’d recommend reading the first paragraph of Section 2.

                They literally give space to nazis at that site.

                What criteria in your head makes a site qualified for it to be a “hate” site to you???

                  I’m saying classifying it just as “hate” isn’t doing justice to what KF is. I would probably classify Xwitter generally as a “hate” site (these days, anyway); but KF is much worse. In a similar vein, I always wouldn’t say 4chan is a “hate” site, as that doesn’t quite cover it.

                    TBF, your previous post reads to me the opposite way, like ‘it is not enough of a hate site’. Also I would offer you to look at it as a Venn diagram, if something is a hate site and more, it is still a hate site, just with extra

                    I’m open to new verbiage for its description.

          Was not aware there was any controversy about this. Just something I had read in another forum. If that’s the case I obviously retract my earlier comment.
