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.
This kind of weird ass pointless parasocial analyzing is exactly what contributes to people stepping down from projects. who cares about some weird ass conspiracy?
“Kiwi Farms, formerly known as CWCki Forums (/ˈkwɪki/ KWIH-kee), is a web forum that facilitates the harassment of online figures and communities. Their targets are often subject to organized group trolling and stalking, as well as doxing and real-life harassment.[3][4][5] Kiwi Farms has been tied to the deaths of three people who were victims of harassment and died by suicide.[6][7][8]”
They typically target transgender people or people with autism, And try to drive them to suicide. Because they think it’s funny.
They shared the manifesto of the Christchurch mosque shooter.
I’m not going into details about the people that have died. I’ll never forget refreshing my feed and the post about Near’s death appearing right in front of me.
Don’t feel conflicted. These are edgelords who want people to suffer for their amusement. But they’re organised and will carry out actions in real-life.
And I ask this because I’ve seen too much of their shit spread for years now; please don’t share links to their website.
Know your enemy, but be smart about it.

I did a bit more research into this and it seems this conspiracy is largely spearheaded by Kiwifarms, so I do feel bad by bringing it up.
For anyone who is unaware of Kiwifarms…

First time I heard about it. I’m a bit conflicted about what I should think about this. The first two things in there that I noticed were a comprehensive handling of Musk: https://kiwifarms.st/threads/elon-reeve-musk.134949/ and Andrew Tate: https://kiwifarms.st/threads/andrew-tate-top-g-cobratate.127428/
Are they sort of a southparkian “fuck everyone” kind of forum?
