The Asahi Linux developers have a history of taking everything personally. If Apple adds a new way to start an ELF in macOS 12.3, it's because of them. If someone criticizes them publicly on Hacker News and isn't immediately shamed, it's because the actual leadership at Hacker News hates them (not an exaggeration considering their public stunt here where they blamed @dang for everything). If someone doesn't quite agree with their politics in perfect lockstep, they will publicly try to force you to resign (look at what happened with Dlang). And, more recently, threatening to keep changes downstream and out of the mainline Linux kernel as retaliation for what they call inappropriate conduct (which, well, if the COC of Linux hasn't been violated, I'm guessing it's probably them). And of course, if it's found out that the M2 has a technical bug with audio processing that literally nobody noticed until now, it's proof that Apple is full of incompetent idiots, unlike them.
It's also why, if I were running a corporation, I would almost require that anyone using Asahi on their Mac use a corporate fork for their own protection. I wouldn't rule out retaliation.

- Fatnino 3y agoI see you've met marcan :) He's a hotheaded spaniard who happens to live up to the stereotype perfectly. Except the part where he doesn't live in Spain anymore. Very talented hacker. Best to watch from the back seats and enjoy the drama without getting any on yourself.
