sorry but "ai" is just a big ol' load of crap

my heart goes out to the people hurt and affected by the cowardly attack on the CSD in berlin today, in my neighborhood ;/

@cwebber what's neurosymbolic programming? :3

@cwebber lmao, after hitting "toot!" i thought, well i'm sure for some people this isn't even a joke

if you still write your own chatgpt prompts you will be left behind—high time to adopt agentic prompting™️

if you depend on a secret machine, whose usage you rent from a secret factory, to write your code, you have become the downstream of an oracle that is now in control of you, it has become the new landlord of your skill, and you have also become its little pay piggie

it doesn't make any sense. linux and the gpl have no technical reason to exist. one could've just bought a copy of unix, right? oh, some people couldn't afford unix, or wanted a bit more control about their own computers? "well that's a you problem" or what. remember the bill gates borg memes in the 1990s? remember "linux is a cancer"? but now it's totally fine to get assimilated by anthropic, which is the new microsoft btw. hello mcfly, anybody home?

"oh yeah lets just totally squander this opportunity to use my position of influence to at least nudge things a tiny bit into a positive direction"

"always has been" meme but with Linus' "The kernel project has been and will continue to be about the technology."

you are the perfect struct, the perfect struct, the perfect struct

(looking at "struct i2c_adapter_quirks - describe flaws of an i2c adapter")

my bose qc gen1 earbud's case recently stopped working (3 flashing leds). looks like it's totally unrepairable and replacement case costs like 80 eur/$99. are there any earbuds with repairable or generic charging cases, or other recommendations? also considering cabled usb-c earbuds if there's such a thing

100 MNT Reform Next mainboards are chilling in this (ESD) box

woops i used the "mini gender changer" and then everything was different

nice, amiga 2000 has a built-in stand for the mnt pocket reform

working with daniel was an absolute joy, he's a rare software engineer that is 100% reliable, excellent communicator and can deliver deep technical solutions on the whole spectrum from web applications (incl. UI) to embedded/kernel drivers. highly recommended, hire him!

OK, the MNT Quasar 6490 Processor Module is here, check it out! https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-quasar-6490-processor-module

Thanks to @LinaroLtd and especially @cas for working on this with me, and @nlnet (through NGI0 Core) for helping us fund this most complex module yet! And thanks to @holo_memory for preparing the launch.

now that the GPU is stable, this system is so much fun aaaah... only i2s audio support is missing, which is a whole other can of worms on qcom. the system is an MNT Reform Next with QCS8550 processor. i wish it was easy and affordable to procure at the moment and i could just ship it. the reality is i don't even know the current price and lead time as it constantly fluctuates, and we have to ship a ton of other stuff first. but if we make to the other end one day, it'll be really good

a quick suspend/resume demo with the MNT Quasar 6490 Pocket Reform

many RCOREs in the house!

exciting: first 10 production mainboards for MNT Reform Next came in!
