@AU it's an annoying side effect of showing off some of these products—most of these companies aren't prepped with thousands of units at launch... many finally catch up though, just takes a month or 12 :/

RISC-V is going mainstream: see how the Milk-V Jupiter Mini ITX board runs as a normal desktop PC, with Ubuntu, Bianbu, and Fedora Linux! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxtFctEsHy0

@nitpicking @vkc Microsoft has taken dark patterns to a whole new level: black hole patterns!

Not upset about drag in the ceremony, offended by the desecration of a setting (the Last Supper) that's central to the Catholic faith, and the gaslighting of folks saying it wasn't representative of the Last Supper but of a painting of the Greek Gods (what does that have to do with French culture / history anyways?).

Then the whataboutism rampant in comparing the situation to Charlie Hebdo / Islam and other pop culture references to the same imagery.

@mntmn MNT about to be the arm64 hero of the portable world?

What have we here?

It's a @MilkV_Official Jupiter—RISC-V meets mini ITX, and I will be putting it through its paces. The first time I'm able to test a fully RVA22 and RVV1.0-compliant CPU!

To anyone who disables paste on a 'confirm password' field... that makes the experience of using a secure, random-generated password on mobile a horrendous experience.

WOAH! Fractal released the official case design files for the Baby North Pi case! https://www.fractal-design.com/north-pi-3d-files/ — this is so cool, now you can print one of your own!

No magic smoke...

yet.

Apparently in response to backlash from their 'Crush' commercial, Apple has decided to put their Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard desktop image in the sky tonight.

@libreuser @RL_Dane I don't really promote proprietary software, it's more of a statement that if you don't care about free / open source software, don't put up a facade (to companies that do the rugpull). Just be honest and say you don't wish the participate in those movements at all instead of leading people on.

As free money dries up and profits slow, companies slash headcount almost as fast as #opensource community trust.

My thoughts on IBM's HashiCorp buyout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNcBk6cwim8

IBM to buy HashiCorp for 6.4b — should I post a hot take on the state of corporate #opensource tomorrow?

If IBM decides to merge Terraform and Ansible, would that be Terrible?

A few years ago, I would've said CentOS or Debian. Now, the answer is much easier #linux #homelab

My Dad and I achieved the unthinkable.

With the power of radio, we made a hot dog talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgDxXDV4_hc #radio #engineering #SafetyFirst

@thomasfuchs Surprisingly limited to just one donor 3400c. Luckily both of these computers came in with a small list of defects... so far!

I spent the past couple months restoring two old Macs. And now I understand why every retro computer enthusiast has racks and racks of old hardware... 😬 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4604SvoyBc #MARCHintosh
