Unfortunately, it appears that the Asahi Linux team carries this holier-than-thou attitude everywhere. Their GPU driver reversing had similar snipes at Apple; and we also have the whole HN/asahilinux.org referrer debacle.

Yeah I didn’t like the way the GPU stuff was presented. It was purposefully antagonistic despite absolutely no need for it.

That said, they’re 100% right on the HN issue. That’s not them overreacting or being mean. That’s avoiding abuse that HN refuses to do anything about.

It has been my experience that dang doesn’t respond to feedback emails of the kind Hector claims to have sent (and I’ve sent a few of them); and I kinda see why: because any disagreement on said feedback leads to more arguments, which is terribly draining for the recipient.

That being said, if the feedback provided had the same quality as the post linked above, one can justifiably see why not engaging with it at all is the best option.
