It's not like they even cared about 100% FOSS anyway. Last time I checked (which was over a decade ago, but still) they allowed source-available content (including Lua scripts) on their forums.

While the FSF and similar are posting silly videos that preach to the choir, they're banning 3d printers in Washington State without DRM that totally won't backfire like "Female Presenting Nipples" did :blobcatjoy:

The newest game is called GTA vi?
Why didn't they call it GTA emacs?

I've observed how the January news cycle always sets the tone for the entire year. This is both intentional and orchestrated:

@wertimer Just create a single user instance for yourself. There would still be instances that will block you but not as frequently. It seems to work with many people I follow.

i'm probably going to be told tomorrow that i'm being laid off, so if anyone has a lead on a decent remote embedded software engineering or unix/linux systems job, i've got a resume to send you.

i don't like discussing the specifics of who my past clients have been in public. however, my most recent position was contracting with the kernel team of a major CDN and cloud services provider that i know many people on fedi are also current or former employees of, maintaining their internal linux distribution (an customized Ubuntu downstream) for their custom server platforms, porting forward and cleaning up patchsets to newer versions of the distribution, fixing issues in toolchains and libraries, etc.

i've also done embedded software work for a large variety of devices including medical, cellular technology, and industrial control equipment, in addition to some consumer products. i've done board bringup and BSP development with Yocto/Openembedded, Buildroot, FreeRTOS, etc, on most major SoC and microcontroller families. when doing business logic, I am most comfortable in C and Lua, but fine working with C++ codebases, and can learn to work with other languages if a project needs it.

boosts appreciated.

@lanodan @SuperDicq Sega actually did use planet names as code names for other consoles. Saturn was the only one that was actually used in the final product. Mars was the codename of the 32X. Jupiter was an unreleased cartridge version of the Saturn. Neptune was an unreleased Genesis/32X hybrid and Pluto was an unreleased Saturn with a built-in modem.

@gabriel Mastodon hate is unjustified and is a stale meme and Pleroma isn't really that good.

I will die on this hill. 🚬
