@hedders @neil we're to a lesser extent also seeing a parallel beginning of fully truly open hardware. chip manufacturing is getting cheap enough to allow small shops to do runs of custom microcontrollers, e.g. https://www.baochip.com/let's water what we want to grow. support open hardware / linux hardware shops like:@mntmn@frameworkcomputer@bunnie

@mntmn @hedders @neil @frameworkcomputer @bunnie they fit into the "linux hardware" part. I included them because they upstream support for their hardware in Linux, and are focused on modular laptop systems. they also have an ecosystem of modular open hardware USB-C extensions, and open hardware designs for their mainboards.

@gamingonlinux @carlrichell thank you to everyone who helped push for these reforms to the age verification bills.ideally, age-verification at the OS-level, and the related push to age-verify everything should be abolished entirely. absent that, I am happy to hear news of these small victories

@rustfoundation fucking **BOO**not surprising, immensely disappointing. why do these cancers on society continue to infect everything good in the world? tying the Rust Foundation to some of the biggest technofascists in the world was already disgusting enough with Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.this bubble cannot burst soon enough.

@mntmn condolences to the deceased and other injured victims.it does seem strange that the Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Berlin_Pride_van_attack (and news articles it was sourced from: https://www.reuters.com/world/berlin-pride-parade-called-off-after-car-hits-crowds-police-say-2026-07-25/, https://www.dw.com/en/1-dead-16-injured-after-car-ramming-at-berlin-csd-pride-event/a-78116146) are labeling it an "Islamist Terrorist" attack, but no suspect has been named and/or apprehended.it has post-9/11 "they hate us for our freedom" vibes.regardless, the violence and loss of life is tragic, and I offer solidarity to those affected
