What is Hector's endgame?

Being an annoying faggot lol

 

[The Mass Shooter Ron Soye]

In comparison to the topic subject.. Yes I am basically no one.. Except I have known a number of people that you guys like to keep track of. I knew LordKat too and Chris Pirillo crew before Sonic Retro happened for me. But again, this isn't about me. That can be the old thread or a new thread if desired. Though keep in mind if you try and cast me as a regular lolcow .. now.. you may be disappointed and it would impact whatever the hell this unique situation is.

Feel free to participate. This thread is pretty slow when Hector isn't having a meltdown.

Dying fat.

 

[New Tobin Paradigm]

Well I was kept away from Asahi Personnel and details about the inner workings weren't expressed to me despite being Kudo's number one passion project it seemed.. Shit.. if I had been treated better I may have defended Hector against Kiwifarms .. but of course Kudo knows me and if there is drama and corruption I am gonna find it and either expose it or try and bend it to my will depending if I can stomach what I learn and for how long. Can't have that.. Or the likes of me being such an exposing angle to his social climbing and projects..

But of course and I am sure most who cared enough figured out I did not get involved in these groups or these people to find and expose drama and corruption and shit.. I just wanted a cool place to hang out with some friends interested in similar shit that I was and liked to do projects and tech shit.. This is where that lead me.. Here commenting on some tranny where them being trans is the LEAST offensive part.. Instead of having some sort of illusion of a life.

But no I get a nearly beat for beat re-enactment of the Moonchild bullshit.. Which come to find out he was in contact with Athenian200 days before that whole shit went down.. AND it all for years may have been retailiation for connecting him to the MyPal incident which I enlisted him to help with.. and again no issue doing it only it wasn't a priority.. I still feel my action regaridng MyPal can never be fully atoned for but again where were my friends and peers to tell me that may not be the correct course of action.. Right severing all connection because you guys didn't get me to kill my self so he wouldn't have to to focus on supporting the poor apple users and multiple Hectors.

Where do you guys think I was after the return to clearnet? Trying to sort out what went wrong with me with an associate of Hector, a friend since 2011 and i got screwed even lost my github account and a mass swath of my history and it like last time crippled my infrastructure.. If Neal Gompa was as nice and kind and good as everyone seems to claim even here.. Why did he not only pull that shit but also include a direct reenactment of the Moonchild situation with my repos and infra? Because he is not or no longer the friend I thought I had. Perhaps Hector corrupted him. I don't know.. Before Asahi we disagreed even fundamentally but nothing like this.. and I was regularly screaming EX-TER-MIN-ATE every five fuckin minutes for 10 years and THAT WAS FINE..

I don't understand anything.

Fewer forks, more spoons​

You would have to be counting your spoons to make that kind of joke.

In addition to our Mastodon profile, we now have Bluesky and LinkedIn accounts. You can follow us at @asahilinux.org on Bluesky, and at Asahi Linux on LinkedIn.

Infrastructure ownership​

Until recently, most of our infrastructure was under the control of individuals, including domain names. Over the past month, we have been working on transferring as much of this as possible away from developers’ private accounts and into ownership at the project level. This ensures that the project is resilient against any one person leaving. It also makes it easier for project expenses to be accounted for. For example, having our domain names under the financial ownership of Open Source Collective means that all domain-related expenses are processed automatically, rather than needing to paid out by a developer and reimbursed.

Which individuals controlled the infrastructure? The project may be on a healthier trajectory without Lina Marcan.

 

[New Tobin Paradigm]

I don't think Hector is gone.. He is merely.. behind the scenes.. As I was just recently banned from the asahi subreddit for no reason except existing and also questioning why Hector was still a moderator. Then the moderator list went hidden. And Reddit staff became instantly involved. Soooooo.

These instincts are incredible when I don't have FRIENDS telling me to ignore them all my life.

 

[El Goblina]

I don't understand anything.

You don't understand anything because you're learning to hate but haven't quite figured out the intricacies.

 

[REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!]

What is Hector's endgame?

He only wants to jack it to anime. Nothing more.

 

[volatile puar]

The project may be on a healthier trajectory without Lina Marcan.

Hector is definitely the most insane of the Asahi Linux developers, so project management would probably improve, but he also seems to have been the most qualified for the job so it's unlikely the project will continue at the same speed without him.

I don't think Hector is gone

This does make it seem like he's still in charge, it would have been easy to say "Marcan is still welcome and is free to rejoin the project whenever he is up to it." The real test is going to be seeing how well Asahi development continues. I have no idea why he would make a fuss about "Lina" leaving the project if he still wanted to work on it, since nobody is willing to call him out except Kiwifarms agents and Lunduke trolls.

Despite leaving, I think the Asahi community is an unburnt bridge for him, and they would take care of that stuff without him lifting a finger. Getting him off the subreddit mod list is low priority when it comes to the "transfer of responsibilities and administrative credentials".

He already had the perfect... well, retarded but doable... option of "quitting" as Hector Martin but remaining on board as Asahi Lina, even when interacting with the Linux kernel maintainers. Instead, he quit twice separated by a month, causing maximum embarrassment.

If we take him at his own word, Asahi was taking up all of his time, it's not fun anymore, and now he's looking for work not paid by Patreon donos:

When I started Asahi Linux, I let it take over most of my life. I gave up most of my hobbies (after all, this was my dream hobby), and spent significantly more than full time working on the project. It was fun back then, but it’s not fun any more. I have an M3 Pro in a box and I haven’t even turned it on yet. I dread doing the bring-up work. It doesn’t feel worth the trouble.

I miss having free time where I can relax and not worry about the features we haven’t shipped yet. I miss making music. I miss attending jam sessions. I miss going out for dinner with my friends and family and not having to worry about how much we haven’t upstreamed. I miss being able to sit down and play a game or watch a movie without feeling guilty.

...

The project will continue on without me, and I’m working with the rest of the team to handle transfer of responsibilities and administrative credentials.

...

If you are interested in hiring me or know someone who might be, please get in touch. Remote positions only please, on a consulting or flexible time/non exclusive basis. Contact: marcan@marcan.st.

Shout out to Hector Martin and Drew DeVault for being the poster childs of CoC pushing cry bullies. Everyone see's it. They're not slick. People are tired of the non-stop gaslighting from these people. You tell them to chill out and they immediately start trauma dumping about their fucking "spoons".

In other news, Hector's DARVO victim/"abuser" was sponsored to work on DLang support for macOS about a week ago.
Ironic given how Hector himself has bowed out from both his own macOS projects and got kicked out from the Rust for Linux project (another non C-language project). Hector must be quietly seething that the D Language Foundation would DARE to sponsor someone who's been assisted indirectly by "Kiwi farms agents". Especially after the failure of a google dockey he dropped.

 

[Eternal Gopnik]

This Tobin guy has gotta be some kind of a DARPA-developed memetic weapon, because every time I try to read one of his posts my brain.. just.. shuts.. down..

Wasn't D a transphobic language in the minds of Mastodon troons? Or am I mixing it up with something?

Nigger I don't think anyone knew who the fuck you were till you started posting here. What is your relationship to Martin?

Fucking finally.

I contend autistics are superior.. and will naturally subsume the current human race. I mean that's the logical conclusion.. Things like trans-ism won't matter.. and indeed.. Considering compromising your sexual fitness could potentially be beneficial to the overall genepool and to your coming Autistic successors.

I also predict a war between Autistics and ADHD.. Wonder if I will live to see it. Because you see dear farmers, humanity is just a spectrum of diseases and conditions.. Why else would a species be bent on out-competing its self.

I feel like it was Zig, but honestly your guess is as good as mine.

 

[Not Real]

Zig

Kinda off-topic but I've been wondering this ever since I've heard about Zig - if people who program in Go call themselves Gophers and people who program in Rust call themselves Rustaceans, then are people who program in Zig... Ziggers? And are people who don't program in Zig but are friendly with them allowed to call them Ziggas?

Andy Kelly noticed it too late and the official term is "ziglings" but it's a language that treats you like niggercattle so it's fully appropriate.
