Same here, although I already had a Mastodon account.

Also Valve isn’t the charity they believe it is. It’s a de-facto monopoly, and it has serious moderation issues (basically if you bought enough games, they will less likely ban you for hatespeech and such).

Someone should write an honest version of it.

What is their Rule 1?

XMPP

Needs to be much higher…

AI simps. There’s more and more of them on the fediverse, for some reason. They’re getting a bit less active on Mastodon, as Elongated Muskrat is also being an AI fan.

A few years and he will go full Musk as lomg as the far-right helps him to destroy copyright protections but allow AI companies to copyright their own creations.

Too late, I’ve already went with BSL.

Issue with GPL is, that I mainly developing stuff for gaming, and GPL is hard or tough to monetize, and stuff will get even spicier when we have conservations whether code is asset itself (especially scripts).

If I remember correctly, Sam Altman’s idea of UBI was people buying stocks and trading them.

Testing is also very useful. If you even just happen to find some bug, that you can reproduce, it’s pretty useful.

I personally have quite a few open source projects (mostly gamedev related, some are multi-purpose enough for other things), all of which need a lot of testing, also I would use someone to develop Mac (and maybe FreeBSD) parts of my middleware.

SBCs already had a few issues.

• ARM Mali driver absence from most distros.
• Compute modules are now standard with 5V rails, making battery operation clunkier, because data centers.
• And for a very long time, the 4x MIPI buses were hidden on Raspberry Pis, locking users out from most screens to hack to them.
• MIPI itself relies on custom “ignition” codes (don’t know what the actual architectural names were for them), that can in theory, be so personalized each individual display and camera could be locked to the SoCs to the point the display itself would need the “ignition” code.

My speculation: I think a lot of these were made to hinder making actual portable devices a lot more clunkier than they need to be. For displays, many use the HDMI port instead. Even official stuff has its own clunk, like the Pi 400 using USB specifically for keyboard, all while an I2C or SPI would have been more than sufficient. The GPIOs of those SoCs were made for this kind of purpose.

Raxda. Profit-oriented from the get-go, but has excellent support. You might still need to fiddle with the official Mali drivers though (tougher than the Linux NVidia drivers).

Otherwise, if you just need a quick solution for let’s say, a NAS built around USB storage, you can just use anything as long as it has proper support for Armbian (Chinese manufacturer’s own Linux distros sometimes have spyware and stuff that make one of the cores run 100% all the time, also no Mali drivers).

I think it’s part because of definition of porn, and pedos were like “but what about erotica?”, and there were CSEM that used such clauses to get around bans, essentially by claiming they’re artistic nudes.

If current Twitter was the only option for internet, I wouldn’t want an internet.

It was a bot on someone else’s account, because we’re at that point. It also had a link that I wouldn’t even click if my life depended on it.

I already have two accounts there I’m using, @ZILtoid1991@mastodon.world is my personal, and @PixelPerfectEngine@peoplemaking.games is for my game engine project.

My old Genius graphics tablet used AAA batteries, as it was from the times when Wacom’s patents on battery-free pens haven’t expired.

Younger me, stop uploading images to them, they’ll use the same technology years later to destroy art!
