>M2 upbringing was like 10 hours onstream, M3/M4 would not take any longer.
You have NFI what you're talking about. There were major architectural changes in M series chips between Avalanche/Blizzard (M2) and Everest/Sawtooth (M3).
That is not true. Apple claims this for PR purposes, but Marcan and Lina said on stream that the changes are not that big at all - Apple does not completely change their architecture ever. There may be bigger changes on the GPU side, but that does not affect the base upbringing (earlier Asahi versions did not have any GPU support at all, only software rendering) - also that would be work for Alyssa, not for Hector.
> Then 2024 happened. Last year was incredibly tumultuous for me due to personal reasons which I won’t go into detail about. Suffice it to say, I ended up traveling for most of the year, all the while having to handle various abusers and stalkers who harassed and attacked me and my family (and continue to do so).
Regardless of whether hector is asahi Lina or not, the whole vtuber doing work that's important to a lot of people has a kinda off vibe and makes me a bit uncomfortable.

This isn't up for debate. There's tons of evidence out there, including the stream where his VTuber software failed briefly and he "doxxed" himself. It's not a fake. I was there watching, and rooting for him to succeed.
Rather than further clutter up this thread with the same links, yet again, I refer you to:
Please don't post in the flamewar style to HN and especially please don't cross into personal attack.

Yeah but what did you expect, donations to go up during that period, stay the same or go down?
