I searched through a small bit of the code but I didn't quite see mention of Byuu nor could I see Higan bundled anywhere in the source code from what little I searched. Since this is the first version of Asahi though, I imagine that implementing Higan isn't the highest priority, but wouldn't exactly be a good idea as Nintendo is known to DMCA anyone who even as much as suggests that they want to play Nintendo games outside of Nintendo hardware.
I know, I'm suggesting Null could have talked to someone claiming to be Near in order to bait him into agreeing to a blackmail payment. They were never planning on paying Null, but to get an email out of him implying that he accepts money to remove threads- and that magically makes KF a "blackmail site"
I'll give him credit for the caveat, but I still hope lots of people brick their shit fucking around with this. Because fuck Hector.
Too much effort for something like that. Byuu was friendless and had no friends or family IRL in Japan so no one could truly check up on him. If it was in May, they'd have to have known somehow in advance. There's ABSOLUTELY no way this was a planned attempt based on some suicide in May.
In the software industry, anything labelled "Alpha" is almost guaranteed to crash badly once a day, sometimes taking the whole operating system with it. Open Source Software tends to be even less stable due to the lack of quality control (the "Worse is Better" philosophy still rules supreme in OSS), so its very likely most Asahi users will be stuck trying to unbrick their $1000+ Macs over the next few weeks.
He's already taking to twitter to damage control about the 53GB of space: https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1505800471134740483
Okay after rereading this like 20 times and doing research on how macOS updates work I think I actually get this. He's saying that your drive should have at least 53GB free so that you can leave at least 38GB free in the macOS partition and have 15GB for the linux partition. Asahi Linux is not taking up that other 38GB itself, the installer just doesn't want you to have less than 38GB free for macOS to do updates. I don't think this was very clearly explained at all, hector. Also, 15GB still seems like kind of a lot for a Linux install, no?
Linux has bloated incredibly over the years. Ubuntu uses at least 15GB, not including the swap space or room for user files. Even Xubuntu (a slimmed down version of Ubuntu) requires 8.6GB. Thing is, a lot of the packages included will never be used as they are for unsupported hardware and software.
So a month from now or am I having a fucking stroke
An autist fucking up the documentation? Well, I never...
You know it's good documentation when one has to reread it 20 times over just to understand it.
He's actually right about that.
Huh, the FAQ is definitly missing "is byuu like dead for real"
![:\](/styles/custom/emotes/svg/chris-confused.svg "Confused :\")
Coping troons are still gonna say: “Well maybe he decided to wait until a month after he claimed he was gonna commit an hero!” Nice sleuthing, now I’d say it’s fair to say that Byuu has faked this whole thing, as if it wasn’t clear from the start.
This implies that Byuu's friends were attempting to extort Null using the memory of their extremely recently deceased friend. This is an extremely disrespectful and offensive thing to do. If they admitted to this, it would even cause the leftists who backed the ddosing to turn on them immediately. I don't see them doing this, instead I foresee them just sweeping the whole thing under the rug and hoping people forget about it.
Do you have the phone numbers and call records of the places you called? It was more difficult for me to get information out of the Tokyo police and the US embassy prior to them learning what division I was in. I don't want to say you're lying but you did what I did, so I know the process. You claiming they gave you information sounds suspicious to me if you have zero credentials. It's not cheap to call to Japan. One ten minute phone call was roughly $30. The US State Department wouldn't verify someone's death over the phone. You'd have to submit a letter requesting death certification, which I've already done. I noted that they called back saying nothing was found. There's already a case open regarding that, and they'll contact me if they receive any updates on it. It's good that we know now that the death record listing is up to date as of June. The US Embassy definitely would not have given you the information directly as an English speaker. Before switching to Japanese, she'd told me info on citizen death couldn't be relayed over the phone to random people. A funeral director in Japan wouldn't give you any information on who died unless you were related to them. They wouldn't give that information to you over the phone due to privacy concerns unless they know you're already associated with the deceased individual. I doubt they would be able to speak English. Posting this without any evidence of calling them delegitimizes other people's actual attempts at getting this information.
I updated the post. After talking with another farmer who could translate my call, the police had nothing of substance or value to add to the info I already received from the US Embassy. That call shouldn't have cost you $30 bucks... you essentially went the same way I did and it was only 0.02$/minute to call Japan (you got fucked on international rates). I didn't want to submit a formal request for 2 reasons, 1. I saw you did and 2. I didn't want to submit formal government paperwork because I don't trust them to be fast, remember I submitted a request, etc. People who work for the government are the lowest of knuckle dragging retards. (prime example, how they spend US Tax dollars).
The person said that the death was considered "a bit early"--nearly six months after it had occurred, and that Japan's U.S. Embassy may not have sent certification of death over yet. Either you're not telling the truth, the person you talked to didn't know what they were talking about, or the person who called me did not know what they were talking about. Given that he was assigned to my case, I am inclined to believe he knew what he was talking about. I work for the government. I'm aware of what information can be obtained for citizens versus officials, which is why I was able to request this man's death certificate despite not being related to him. His case is not high priority. It's very slow and no one wants to dedicate resources to it when there are larger criminals still being followed.
