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.

This is the worst way how to announce something like this.

I don't know the context, but if the goal was to not start a wave of speculations, it would be better to simply not hint at anything. I wonder what happened, and I respect if they don't want to deal with it, but this does feel weird.

Well. What were the options? Stopping without saying anything? Lying? I think this is better. Sure I'll speculate. Bit I'll keep it for myself

Don't tease gossip? Either say "I'm quitting due to personal reasons" or give actual details "I'm quitting because I received ongoing abuse about being trans on X from several users and I'm fed up with it" (or whatever the reason was; I just guessed that).

Maybe the goal was to spur speculation, but I don’t know how that would benefit anyone. I’m curious if any additional info will come to light.

It's basically vaguebooking.

I no longer feel safe

Please don’t make assumptions

Yeah wtf is that. If there are reasons to feel unsafe that arent just entirely individual, then you should tell other people that might be in danger. If its entirely individual, then state that so that other people wont be worried about their safety.

Damned right I read that and thought "It's your first day on the internet?"

There is a small match lit in the floor it will probably snuff out itself but just to be sure let's put it out with gasoline
