the more he does it the more i am starting to think byuu was either never a real person to begin with or just persona used by hector. just the way he always brings it up as a means to discredit people he dislikes comes off very suspect.
Not sure if this was mentioned already, but he's also strongarming Linux kernel developers into accepting contributions in his way, by using the fact that Linus himself owns an M2 Mac View attachment 5251341

Actually, since it was already archived on archive.today, it probably was mentioned here already

Now this is the most disappointing picture, I expexted him to be a fat, scruffy greybeard like RMS but he looks like a highschool linux fanboy, the kind that would run BlackArch as a daily driver and brag about it on discord. Or a stereotypical metrosexual apple fanboy complete with hipster clothing and an artisanal keyboard. That face looks so generic and uninteresting that if he grew his hair shoulder length he would be ready to start HRT.
Speaking of Hector Martin, he seems to be retreating into tiny hugboxes where he has janny powers. He's become increasingly intolerant of any kind of wrongthink or people who have the audacity to disagree with him, and it clearly eats away at him whenever he's powerless to SHUT IT DOWN. Just troon out already, Marcan!
It's already been mentioned how he's gone on a petty little crusade against HackerNews ("HN")... which is still ongoing, btw.
I noticed he's become an admin on both treehouse.systems and vt.social. He wasn't one earlier this year [1] [2]. My guess is simply reporting wrongthink wasn't good enough for his liking, so he asked for admin powers in order to SWEEP IT UP personally.
Other updates on Hoaxin' Hector:
He's still trying to pretend that the Vtuber is a different person:
Here's Marcan wringing his hands over the fact that many potential users are hesitant to try out Asahi Linux. Some guy calmly gives his perspective, and Marcan ends up insinuating that he's some kind of hater/troll.
He's been feeling sick the past couple weeks, which explains why he hasn't streamed much recently. He has especially been slacking on his Marcan channel (last stream on May 18th...). For reference, I pointed out last year that Marcan used to do a work stream every 1-2 weeks! https://www.youtube.com/@AsahiLina/streams https://www.youtube.com/@marcan42/streams
I can feel the troonout approaching ever closer, as the Marcan persona is gradually subsumed.
BTW it should be possible to grab all his fediverse posts and all posts of Asahi Lina and then do a lexicographic analysis to estimate the probability that they're the same person. There's a lot of history to be analyzed because he's terminally online. You could also do a histogram of active hours of both accounts to pinpoint a timezone.

Hating HN is the hip thing to do among soyware devs, I see it all the time. Not that there aren't enough reasons to hate HN, but the basis always seems to be some fanfiction where HN is Literally Worse Than 4chan™ and wants to holocaust troons, instead of the truth where HN is a forum full of annoying blowhards with too much money. I suspect it's like the inane horror stories about 8chan back in the day (or KF for that matter), where people hear from other people how awful the site is, never actually visit it, and then slowly exaggerate the badness further and further.

And why should anyone trust a guy who flies off the handle randomly?
Why should I trust him it will only be insignificant info like OS version, while he constantly has unhinged ideas like "block the HN website on the OS level"?
If Hector would be able to make Asahi Linux to detect if you ever made a mean comment about him online and then blow up your computer, he totally would do it.

Just found this while doing research for my thread, looks like whitequark's real name is Peter. He doesn't seem to be discussed much so I might as well drop it here. source (a)
Someone said "strongarm" but it seems very willing. I don't think this is just new because of his daughter, who did she learn this sort of stuff from in the first place? Likely him
I think Linus was always like this, but he just didn't like making political statements. His based takes were because of his autism for his craft, and he just never has the chance to publicly show this side. The vast majority of developers are sjw retards. I don't think I personally know a single one that's not like that. Some of my buds who used to be normal turned very retarded after spending time in "regular" developer circles.
When social outcasts finally find some social belonging it's pretty normal for them to take on the beliefs of their newfound peers I guess, so nothing is really a surprise at this point.

Linus was definitely a cuck from the start. However he became MUCH worse over the past few years to the point that he is now an unbearable useful idiot.
The timeline was roughly this: an accusation of sexual assault was made against one of the core linux devs (from an IBM employee, iirc), which led to demands that he be removed from the project and a CoC inserted so they could remove more people. Linus refused and called everyone involved in the plot complete retards (I'm taming his language somewhat). Then, some time later, he abruptly went on a sabbatical after his daughter struggle-sessioned him (and possibly even threatened to accuse him of something, though we'll never actually know), said he was getting therapy, and returned soon after, utterly broken. While he was gone, a code of conduct was inserted into the linux source tree and the linux foundation was completely annexed by corporate-friendly troons.
The therapy was obviously chosen by his daughter, to break him and turn him into a good little woke drone. He was never like this before; he almost never shared political opinions about anything, but on the few occasions when he did, he ploughed a distinctly non-woke furrow, while insulting everyone who raised his ire.
I'm not pretending Linus was some saint of rightthink prior to this, but he was definitely politically incorrect. He had also been a prominent target for subversion for a long time, by corporate interests who wanted to control linux development utterly, to the point that he had a standing policy of never being alone with any woman who wasn't his wife. He never said why, but the implication was obvious, especially as there had been fairly open plans to try and honeytrap him so he could be brought to heel.
In the time since these events, the kernel has become much more friendly to corporate interests, particularly to the interests of IBM and its pet Linux distribution, Red Hat. Linus has been subverted and turned into just another tech idiot, by people who wanted to neutralise his independence.

He was brainwashed there. He used to be just a nerd. Returned from the re-education camp as a full blown bolshevik. They either found something to blackmail him with, or gave him the Clockwork Orange/1984 treatment.
