Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

This is Alyssa Resenzweig. She reverse-engineered Apple's M1 GPU with no public documentation and also developed an open-source Linux driver. (programming.dev)

In case you don't know, she's also trans. If you think that isn't important, here's a quote from her in the run-up to the ~~2014~~2024 (EDIT sorry I didn't notice my fumble fingered mistake until later) election:

"We’re not asking for much. We don’t want special treatment. We just want respect. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Right now I want legislators to get the fuck out of our doctors’ office.

I’m on the board overseeing Linux graphics. Half of us are trans. If all you care about is Linux, resist the attacks on trans people.

If you have any decency, fight back.

It’s your choice."
