You're not wrong, but I'm trying to raise the issue with any service forcing me into the duopoly by showing them my Librem 5. Sometimes it's quite entertaining. This is another venue for making the change.

Now show what banks (and where) have apps targeting that phone

Not glorified webpages. Full on apps. Preferably by the banks themselves (sorry bedroom hobbyists, I don't quite trust you with my banking details yet!)

There was a native Linux client available when the game was still in alpha. Circa 2002/2003

Blizzard leans heavily on making sure their software is portable!

Nonetheless, there is the evidence you asked for.

I don't consider the opinions of a bunch of deranged children "evidence"

They're too busy lying to themselves about what they did to Byuu/Near

Yes. This forum has collated the evidence that Asahi Lina is the VTuber alter ego of Hector Martin:

If by "forum" you mean one of the most vile places on the internet. Sure

Also interesting "first post" for a 13 hour old account...

Thank you for asking this. It was presented matter of fact and I would not have appreciated that it was something less than settled. The best I can find from googling was rumors and speculation (insert comment in reply with more rumors and speculation). I also don't necessarily think it means someone is a Bad Guy if true. I want people to be able to have anonymous alter egos online if that's what they want and they're not doing any harm.

Being called a "concern troll" for daring to question such a bizarre accusation makes me think it's just a bunch of weird losers

There is. You can easily find by googling "hector martin" "asahi lina" and you will soon find a pile of obsessively archived evidence.

My view, now that Hector has resigned from the LKML both as himself and as Lina, is there is no problem any more. If Hector wants to project a persona, or decide his identity is the persona, or maybe multiple personas, that is fine on social media. People do that. So long as he's not sockpuppeting Linux kernel maintenance, it's fine.

Instead of prompting me to "do my own research" (spoiler: The 'evidence' is lacking and is mostly tedious speculation) you could provide something more compelling

At this point I suspect anyone who even asks that question of concern trolling. The evidence is overwhelming.

That's a weird way to avoid providing evidence :)

It involved large parts of the Rust community, and the famous Rust developer Hector Martin (with an alter ego of Asahi Lina, a female vtuber, which he appears irrationally embarrassed about), harassing others.

Even Linus Torvalds called out Hector Martin.

Is there any evidence "Asahi Lina" is Hector?
