I guess one could have racist and/ or transphobic opinions without knowing the harm it carries. If a person is black, and they happen to behave in a way you don’t like (e.g. smoking weed in a park); you don’t go saying “oh this black people do this, not all but some and I hope they didn’t do that”. There’s a generalization you need to avoid, and also their behavior is regardless of the color of their skin. I have removed such comments, only than instead of racism about skin color this was about gender. And I am being too ‘liberal’ here. Giving you the benefit of doubt. But it’s clear to me that if you think they’re behaving in that way you dislike because of their gender, then that’s just plain transphobia. Next comment that goes in that line, may get a 10-day ban. Discuss Rust, Linux, even Apple Silicon… not the personal decisions and life of a given developer.
As someone who dual-boots Asahi & macOS, I really hope they can figure out how to move forward. What they do is essential to keeping Apple Silicon MacBooks’s OS open to user choice.
To be clear I don’t know anything about the DMA API, but is it that the rust devs want to change the API to be friendlier to Rust code rather than translate it? Couldn’t they make like a library or something instead?
No, this is fallout from a patchset adding exactly the rust library you suggest to use the DMA library. And despite this only having changes in the rust/kernel tree, the maintainer of kernel/dma showed up to NAK the patch just because he doesn’t like the idea of rust code in the kernel.

This is a week after someone tried to nerf Rust in the kernel. I hate shit like this.
Some of the comments on that article made me realise I’m a bit out of the loop: what makes Asahi linux “woke”?
It is sad though that there is so much drama around linux development. It’s easy for me to say this, but I do think it’s important that there is a switch to a newer language like Rust away from C eventually.I do think it’s important that there is a switch to a newer language like Rust away from C eventually.
The problem is you can’t come in swinging to be let into the party, there are processes and tests to be done.
The Phoronix comments are notoriously toxic - I went to the article mostly to witness the incoherent rage in the comments and wasn’t too disappointed.
I saw someone saying AI “Apparently AI goes hand in hand with wokeism.”
Meanwhile, I’ve seen quite a few complaints from the types this person dismisses as “woke” about AI. Is there more left-leaning approval from AI than I think there is, and more right-leaning disdain for it than I think there is?
Bad for Linux. I see Asahi Linux on Apple hardware as being the “best Linux” for consumer use (and home servers) moving forwards.
I’ve been a paying supported of Asahi since the Patreon launched. I’m curious to hear why you think it is “best” for consumers and servers?
I’ve only installed Asahi one time, just to kick the tires. I think I reverted to MacOS after about two days. I’m a MacOS guy first, Linux second, but I love choice and want Linux on Apple hardware, thus I love Asahi. I’m more of a spectator (on Apple silicon; I’ve run Linux on x86 for a decade), so any insight is appreciated.
