In case you don't know, she's also trans. If you think that isn't important, here's a quote from her in the run-up to the 20142024 (EDIT sorry I didn't notice my fumble fingered mistake until later) election:

"We’re not asking for much. We don’t want special treatment. We just want respect. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Right now I want legislators to get the fuck out of our doctors’ office.

I’m on the board overseeing Linux graphics. Half of us are trans. If all you care about is Linux, resist the attacks on trans people.

If you have any decency, fight back.

It’s your choice."

She also did this while she was still a full time undergraduate university student. Normally you'd expect someone with more experience to be doing this kind of low level hardware hacking, but she did all this while still young, before even graduating from university.

Please do this with the Nvidia chips too! Running Linux on this old Macbook pro is great but I can't turn the brightness down with the generic driver.
