For personal reasons, I no longer feel safe working on Linux GPU drivers or the Linux graphics ecosystem. I’ve paused work on Apple GPU drivers indefinitely.

I can’t share any more information at this time, so please don’t ask for more details. Thank you.

If you think you know what happened or the context, you probably don’t. Please don’t make assumptions. Thank you.

I’m safe physically, but I’ll be taking some time off in general to focus on my health.

Well that’s sudden.

    Or maybe you are making some assumptions and really like rust; while lacking experience in memory management.

    I’m not saying anything about my code; but there are literally dozens of strategies you probably don’t know about that are used in a dozens of ways, if not hundreds, by millions of coders.

    I like rust well enough, but it manages memory based on opinions by some people. These opinions have trade offs. You are not familiar with that, and are attacking me.

    This reinforces my own opinions of people who push rust.

      Oh please tell me, wise old man! You can’t be talking about garbage collection, reference counting, smart pointers, never-free, arenas, defer, or god forbid, the “I am perfect and can do it manually and never make mistakes” method. Because I know about all of those methods.

      What are these other dozens of methods that I don’t know about that mean Rust is unnecessary? 🙄

        I know well enough to quit here lol.

        I’m more tickled than mad at your stuff, but even I know when I’m in a losing situation
