        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.

      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.

        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.

        Actually haven’t seen the comments myself but I can guess at this point. Maybe he should’ve completely disable it for the article.
