@Aissen And it is neither obsolete for me personally as I found out about this wrong doing last night when someone was making noise about it. If this was for the right cause, then it can be looked also back and does not need to be swiped under the carpet.

You can disagree with for sure but if people make public something they ought also stand the feedback even if it comes total 24h later of the cancellation :-)

I've never cared about Jack Dorsey, Twitter or any of that, and Bluesky if definitely the next social media account that I delete, if I delete any, but still for the grace of God, this is silly, stupid and hypocritical.

@Aissen It is not obsolete in the sense that it highlights to ridiculous history what made the pulling out happen.

OK sorry about FOSDEM rants. I just have zero-tolerance for hypocrisy.

I would get a position that "I don't want to visit OSS conferences because they are dominated by the evil corps AND Microsoft does not actually love Linux even tho they've made a marketing campaign that says so" ;-)

In this context I would get even protesting against Jack Dorsey...

These people should spent some time AWAY from computer TBH.

As far as I'm concerned I never ever want to visit at FOSDEM. I hate when people are not absolutely sound in their moral and ethical values.

That said my "protest" does not really count as I dislike tech conferences anyhow ;-) Just want to emphasize to ultimate stupidity in this whole matter.

Anyone involved with this ridiculous protest: you should be ashamed of yourself.

@matzipan most of them own associated companies stocks, i.e. most of them are employees and owners ;-) just making a case how ridiculous argument that is.

I'm not saying "Block Inc." is "good", but neither I see how it is "worse" than any of the aforementioned companies.

In a conference where Microsoft, Google and Meta employees are giving talks, Jack Dorsey and Block Inc. is the prime evil :-)

A #vim thing that I tend to forget.

q: in normal mode gives you a buffer containing the history of ex command-lines for the sake of convenient copy-paste.

There's enough AAA titles in Steam for instance to keep SDL alive in foreseeable future. It's way too big ecosystem to die.

Just interested. Even with Rust it would be a great solution in many cases, as it has the "long-term solution" benefit. Many other libraries come and go.

Does SDL 3.x do immediate mode GUI like for plugins and stuff? I.e. similarly as egui and imgui (with appropriate backends)?

@phoenix the sponsor list for this year.

It's total hypocrisy and nonsense to complain about Jack Dorsey giving a keynote and this *objectively* proves it. Get a life.

@phoenix There's every single year employees of Meta, Google and Microsoft giving talks at FOSDEM. Why do you allow that to happen? :-)

how an interns attempts to familiarize themselves with a codebase, and spice up the comments resulting in finding a major security vulnerability. Via Reddit, via 🤷‍♀️

One more existential reason for v4l2-loopback: testing video4linux features other than v4l2-loopback.

It is always nice to have a module in the stack that can pretend to be a piece of hardware in various end-to-end tests.

Just writing these down so that I can make a credible cover letter at the time :-)

I did this one big refactor few days ago: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jarkko/linux-tpmdd.git/commit/?h=v4l2-loopback&id=ccb1b6e1247887be17bf22b3809c50848e87a4db

I'm still editing it up until I'm happy with capture/output separation and some other things related (e.g. life-cycle and removal).

Obviously once I sent a patch set I will squash everything before sending...
