When it comes to export controls and sanctioned entities it doesn’t really matter what Red Hat would like to do - they have to comply with the law in the jurisdictions they work in. Even if it was purely a community project individual contributors face a similar liability if based in those jurisdictions.

When it comes to sanction lists there is a fair amount of commonalty between the US and Europe. This is really something to complain to government about.

Imgur has been offline in the UK since the original investigation. Do they even want to be in the UK market?

There are a fair number of third party boards based on the RP2040/RP2050 silicon. Even esphome can target it even though it originally targeted the esp32.

The silicon itself is pretty nice although the original had done problems with deep sleep.

Are they as well supported? There are lots of SBCs out there but if they are only supported by vendor kernels and have no documentation then i’d rather pay the Pi premium.

ETA: that said for a lot of stuff microcontrollers are a much better bet.

a long time ago I wrote a program as part of my third year project to sort and rank potential hydrogen bonds in tRNA based on crystallography data. I wonder if my supervisor ever used it going forward.

Have you tried the latest one?

It was a pretty big hit at the time but the production costs got so out of control I don’t think it made it’s money back. I’m sure in the long run it’s done ok.

They are pretty good at summarisation. If I want to catch up with a long review thread on a patch series I’ve just started looking at I occasionally ask Gemini to outline the development so far and the remaining issues.

I only know because that’s where I’ve reached with my Voyager watch through with my kids. It even got a “that was a good episode” praise from the eldest as well as an appreciation of how bad ass Janeway is 😀

I thought the episode was “Year of Hell, part two”?

Even Stalman treats games as a special category given the artistic game assets. I think he’d still prefer the engine was FLOSS though and I assume the DRM is definitely verboten.

What was wrong with working with Godot that made them want to fork?

I guess somewhere between 6 and 7…urm 6/7 👐 (and my kids say I don’t understand memes 😅).

If you have ever read the “thought” process on some of the reasoning models you can catch them going into loops of circular reasoning just slowly burning tokens. I’m not even sure this isn’t by design.

I’m on the fence about SFA. The third episode was quite funny but I get the feeling the trials and tribulations of horny zoomer students at Star Fleet 90210 might not be aimed at my demographic.

There are plenty of deep cut references to the lore though and production values are much higher than when I started watching Trek.

I thought they were also blood relations?

Please tell me they went in to become a lumberjack?

I think the OP’s analysis might have made a bit of a jump from overall levels of hobbyist maintainers to what percentage of shipping code is maintained by people in their spare time.

While the experiences of OpenSSL and xz should certainly drive us find better ways of funding underlying infrastructure you do see a higher participation rates of paid maintainers where the returns are more obvious. The silicon vendors get involved in the kernel because it’s in their underlying interests to do so - and the kernel benefits as a result.

I maintain a couple of hobbyist packages on my spare time but it will never be a funded gig because comparatively fewer people use them compared to DAYJOB’s project which can make a difference to companies bottom lines.

I was confused because the gif isn’t from SFA, is it DISCO?

The year of Linux on the desktop is whatever year you personally switched over.
