LOL? We're not planning shit Hector, we just laugh at people in these threads. That's literally all we do.

Tell me, Hector, what the fuck do you think we're "planning"?
Telling newfags to locally archive to recruit them into the murder cult.

I certainly don't doubt that he's 'monitoring' his thread, especally since someone must have alerted Hector to it's existence by now for him to try and deboonk the evidence in front of him.

why is every linux dev literally the exact same person in terms of interests and being a weird vindictive attention whoring bitch?
Torvalds, Greg K-H, Ts'o, Axobe, Al Viro, countless others extremely competent tech guys working on the Linux kernel that aren't "the exact same person in terms of interests" or "weird vinidictive attention whoring bitches".

Which you would know if you had ever read the fucking kernel ML or at least semi-regularly perused LWN.net.

And which you would bloody well know if you'd read some of the seminal old (I'm talking late 90's / early 20's) messages in-thread with less technical and more personal discussion between some of the core kernel devs of the time, many of which are still around and hacking out consistently top quality code.

And by the way, sure you can point out many "character flaws" (or strengths, depending on your outlook) in all of those named (and unnamed) individuals, but by no means does that make your assertion valid.
 
It was mentioned in the OP, but you really have to see it to believe it. The @marcan42x Twitter alt mostly consisted of him retweeting pictures of little anime girls.
Just scroll through these archives to see what I mean:

You'll notice that like half of the pictures feature Cirno from the Touhou series.

And this archive shows that Marcan made a donation to the Unicode Consortium to have Cirno officially associated with the Unicode character ⑨.
unicode-1.png unicode-2.png
チルノ = "Cirno". The number 9 is some kind of Cirno meme.

Marcan has also posted about Cirno on Reddit several times:
(Lol, plus another example of Marcan pushing the Byuucide hoax on Reddit as well)

I have no doubt that Marcan has posted about Cirno a lot on his (deleted) main Twitter account and on his current Mastodon account too, but I think I've made my point already. Marcan loves Cirno.

Now... let's consult Null's handy guide on anime pedos to see what this Cirno obsession suggests about Marcan... 🧐

This ice fairy is called Cirno, and she is 5000 years old... but she looks like she's 8.
If you are attracted to Cirno, you are still a pedophile, because she looks like an 8-year-old. And I would never trust anyone who posts Cirno, because I have seen more gore of like Cirno being torn in half than any other anime character on the Internet. So... I do not trust you, I assume that you are a serial killer if you post Cirno...
This is obviously semi-satirical, but Null is practically a subject matter expert on this topic since he has a long history of being involved with imageboards and having to deal with anime pedos spamming their gross shit. :lol:



My dude... no offense, but LMAO at the timing of your post. :lit:

Got anything you want to share with the class? 🧐
 
Oh btw, Marcan listed his favorite weeb series in the bio of his Twitter alt.
bio.png deepl.png
東方プロジェクト・プリキュア・アイカツ!・プロセカ・デレマス好き!

東方プロジェクト = Touhou Project
プリキュア = Pretty Cure (aka "Precure")
アイカツ!= Aikatsu!
プロセカ = "Proseka", which seems to be a nickname for "Project Sekai"
デレマス = Not positive, but it seems to be an Idolmaster anime?

Let's take a look at these on Google image search:

Touhou (東方プロジェクト)

Precure (プリキュア)

Aikatsu! (アイカツ!)

Proseka (プロセカ)

Hmm. I feel like these all have something in common, but I just can't put my finger on it... What could a fat, nerdy, 31-year-old Spanish man living in Japan find so enticing about these?
:thinking:

Oh, and I'm sure it's just a funny coincidence that Asahi Lina loves Precure too! She even names her computers after Precure characters!
precure-machines.png
wow Marcan and Asahi Lina are practically soulmates! They both live in Tokyo, are very talented programmers working on Asahi Linux, and have all the same niche interests. When's the wedding? You gotta make your move, Marcan! :lol:
 
Tell me, Hector, what the fuck do you think we're "planning"?
Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a cat chasing lolcows. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it! You know, I just... mock things. The mob has plans. The cops have plans. Gordon's got plans. Y'know they're schemers. Schemers trying to control their little worlds. I'm not schemer. I try to show the schemers how pathetic their attempts to control things really are. So when I say that you and your girlfriend was nothing personal, you know I'm telling the truth. It's the schemers that put you where you are. You were a schemer, you had plans, and, uh, look where that got you.
 
"Lina" was at Comiket weeb convention and supposedly even met with some cosplayer. I wonder how badly the cosplayer (other tranny no doubt) was disappointed to see his idol looking like an ugly, dumpy spanish guy irl.

I know it's beating a dead emulator developer horse at this point, but Hector didn't post anything during that time on his main account:
2023-08-14-131208_574x825_scrot.png

Mastodon's UI is retarded with time formatting, so here's the timestamp:

In any case, Lina admits to using a voice changer. His setup is actually freakishly, monstrously overcomplicated
I'm a bit late with this, but
  • Holy fuck this is physically painful to listen to. It's very bright, like what I would imagine the ear equivalent to staring at the sun would be. This is despite the big high-cut from lossy compression.
  • Phasing issues are noticeable in the mids; the background music is what throws everything into mild disarray.
  • The dynamic range is pretty huge, but many don't know how to use compressors properly.
  • You can see and, depending on your ears and equipment, hear 3 very distinct bands. I'd adjust the low cut, focus more on a low shelf, and I'd put that multiband compressor to good use for tidying.
These are more personal preference:
  • I can't stand the sound of reverb on normal speech, especially in an untreated room. I have no idea why he would want the huge tails of a hall verb for this use case either.
  • I wouldn't colour before auto-tune if I wanted it to be at all natural feeling.
Audio is very subjective of course, but I feel like these stick out quite a bit when you know what to look for.
 
Just a couple of things I found while researching, then forgot, then remembered.

Here's Hector Martin saying that lolicon is "considered acceptable in Japanese otaku culture" with regards to Pawoo.

Reminder that Pawoo is the same Mastodon instance that his own Mastodon instance (treehouse.systems) had to block due to the rampant amount of CSAM it had.

Some more interactions with rapist Liz-Fong Jones. Apparently Hector Martin worked at Google's Dublin office:

source (a)
Worth nothing that his prediction of an "imminent threat" to Twitter did not come to pass. Which is not surprising, because Marcan is so horrible at being right I wouldn't trust him to accurately predict if the sun came up tomorrow.

And Marcan apparently locked himself out of his Hacker News account:
lfjhackernews.png
source (a)

Now some Byuuicide-related stuff:

He claims to have contacted Byuu's closest friends and next of kin "across countries and timezones".
countriesandzones.png
source (a)
Which friends? Barely anyone has come forth to talk about being his friend. The only person who has (who didn't fake it) to my knowledge is some furfag named Blum.

Speaking of "what Near wanted", there's this tweet about donation drives, which was noticed before:
"Never"? That's a bit strong.
Aw, someones scared of being in trouble for donation scams when the truth comes out.

"I've been told"
From who?

Hector's digging himself a hole here.
donationdrives.png
source (a)
People have already pointed out how convenient it is that this avoids any potential legal consequences from running a fundraiser in the name of an alive person, and asked who exactly told him this, but I want to ask another question: Why would Byuu tell anyone this? If I were to kill myself the last thing I'd care about is if people hold donation drives in my name. Unless he was faking it...

I missed this, but Marcan claims that not only did he sit down for an interview with a police detective, but one of Byuu's friends was there too:
interviewhadfriend.png
source (a)
Is this the same person who supposedly wrote the Google doc? And, why would they be there at the same interview with him? Did they report the suicide threat to the police too? Why wouldn't the police just do a separate interview with them?

And speaking of the Google doc, this last tweet gets the noggin joggin:
akihabara.png
source (a)
He mentions meeting up with Byuu in Akihabara. Coincidentally, the Google doc (the same one with the story about being on call while Byuu was hanging himself and doing nothing about it) also mentions meeting up with Byuu in Akihabara:
Unknown person said:
I last saw Near on June 9. We had sushi in Akihabara, and then sat down for a cup of coffee. I was a bit busy that day, but I was looking forward to inviting them over to hang out again soon.
As I mentioned before, this likely means the supposed "anonymous mutual" lives in Japan too, but if Hector also mentions Akihabara... maybe he really did just write the document himself and pass it off as some "anonymous mutual".
 
Hector is such a fraud. That last tweet is infuriating, @Markass the Worst.
dear-friend.png
Byuu was a dear friend of mine! 😭 ...except Marcan can only recall hanging out with him IRL twice, even though they lived in the same city? They were obviously friendly acquaintances at best. Really raises the question of why Marcan (of all people) ended up being the person at the front-and-center of this drama. 🙄
We already have proof that Marcan held a weird grudge against Null and the Kiwifarms long before Byuu "killed" himself. It's clear Marcan simply used this opportunity as an excuse to launch an Internet Jihad against his enemies. Not just us, either - Marcan has tried to use Byuu's "suicide" as a cudgel against the RetroArch devs and others as well.
I really hope Byuu reemerges someday, and it just completely tanks Hoaxin' Hector's reputation.

And yeah, Marcan is a terrible liar. He was frustrated when Kiwis called him out on how it makes no sense that the Japanese detectives would confirm Byuu's death to him (a non-family member), especially over the phone. So he hastily changed his story, saying he had an in-person interview with the police when he went to report the suicide. This still doesn't make sense, but whatever. And now he apparently added a detail that he was with another one of Byuu's (anonymous) friends at this interview? And the police interviewed them together? Bullshit.

It's the mark of a bad liar; they will keep changing their stories and embellish them with more & more unbelievable details.

Btw, were these details known?

I didn't even get to attend the funeral because I only managed to get in contact with Wayne and the employer side of things after it had already happened. Near kept their personal life private, and so we had tons of people trying to help with little communication at first.
Marcan mentions a funeral for Byuu? Why is there no info about this on the Internet? And if it was just an informal gathering of Byuu's friends/associates, then surely at least one of them can corroborate that this actually happened... right?
[Funny how Marcan says that he didn't attend the funeral. No one invited him, and he somehow didn't hear about it until afterward?]

From the same archive, here's Marcan changing his story after Kiwis called him out on the death-confirmation thing:
b.png
Strangely no mention of the anonymous friend who went along with him to be interviewed by the police.
Marcan also says that he was the one who reported the suicide to the police. This kinda contradicts the previous tweet where Marcan says Byuu's employer heard the story and got the police to break into the apartment.
Also, what's the deal with the person who was on call with Byuu as he was in the process of killing himself? Did this person do literally nothing but sit there? None of this makes sense.
