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:

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.

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

I will die on this hill. 🚬

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who realizes the hypocrisy of many of these anti-AI people who want to use copyright to stop generative AI while also supporting piracy, Creative Commons licenses, and creating fan works.

Though I didn't realize that some are now advocating the extension of copyright law to apply to art styles in order to combat generative AI. That's is really going to come back at them later, if that ever happens.

Take the action to own your own computer, even if it is using older hardware.

A system with PC3 or PC4 memory can perform just fine for most tasks (especially if you have 16GB of more).

Use your own hardware. Run Linux or BSD. Take action to remain free. Use encryption.
