Gaze upon him ๐Ÿงกโ€‹

Karvinen does this thing where he gets up on his little behind and puts his paws in the air when he is making considerate demands. If you put your hands close enough, he'll grasp them so he can stay sitting and firmly insist. He won't let go unless you take the hands away, and thus you can jiggle the entire cat.

Mention Pixelfed, get banned on Facebook/Instagram.

Meanwhile, we just started https://respectfulplatforms.org

Every friend you save from Meta's ecosystem is one less person whose digital life can be erased at Zuck's whim.

Spread the word.

OpenAI is terrified (there's finally a great open source LLM)

EA-1 and BassStation are really the only legit Goa leads ;-)

Process specific ABI (psABI) specification can take dozens of pages in total. For RISC-V the spec has 95 pages. It is not ergonomic to print it all, so what to print out?

I usually print just the section enumerating the relocation's. It is the nastiest differentiatior and the part one is most likely continue to revisit forever after ๐Ÿ™‚ For RISC-V that totals six pages.

Maybe less Nazi salutes would help with a more positive turn?

A random pick from this years FOSDEM keynotes.

"What FLOSS Means in the AI World"

https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5495-what-floss-means-in-the-ai-world/

From description:

'"Mozilla has been doing extensive work in the AI ecosystem by defining a principled approach to AI that prioritizes transparency, ethics, and community-driven innovation."

Some highlights of Mozilla from the past year time window:

1. https://www.techradar.com/computing/cyber-security/mozilla-stands-by-its-controversial-privacy-feature-but-ready-to-clear-up-confusion
2. https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/11/21363424/mozilla-layoffs-quarter-staff-250-people-new-revenue-focus
3. https://www.theregister.com/2024/06/24/mozilla_product_chief_sues_over/
4. https://www.theregister.com/2024/06/18/mozilla_buys_anonym_betting_privacy/


Right but I get it. Mitchell Baker is only an employee with almost eight figure (in 2022 $7 000 000), not evil billionaire, and a true contributor to the open source.

This should highlight how hypocritical the campaign against Jack Dorsey has been.

I would not put high hopes on Mozilla's AI story TBH ;-) ๐Ÿฟ

I cannot even imagine what kind of "best of keynote speakers" list I could collect if I enumerated every keynote speaker from every FOSDEM ever organized...

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...

o_O

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.

https://www.cnx-software.com/2025/01/18/jack-dorsey-talk-at-fosdem-2025-may-lead-to-protest/

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.

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.

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

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...
