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.

It's an AI version of the main developer that received harassment, so did the main developer also quit?

This is where I'm lost.

Again, all of that is conjecture built on some weird "analysis" that came from the extremist hate filled site known as Kiwi Farms. I would not put much stock on the credibility of that info.

Hector and Lina are their own people. Anyone claiming otherwise has bought into the conjecture spread by a literal hate site.

Never even heard of that site, but okay. Others are saying the same in forums and HN, but your proof otherwise is?

The site is well known for harassment campaigns to the point of driving people to suicide, and users on those sites perpetuating that info are from that site actively introducing misinfo on popular platforms like reddit and hacker news.
