last month, a friend of mine had a confrontation in with a violent driver who wanted to drive their vehicle into a protest. the driver ran over their bicycle and did their best to endanger the other people present who were standing in front of the vehicle.

today, they've shared that the Somerville police department will be charging them with a felony for the vehicle being damaged by running over the bicycle. the same Somerville PD who let the driver go that day, and who has been stonewalling their request for the incident report.

we live in a world gone mad with violent motonormativity.

Dear Fediverse: Does anyone have any great examples of a open source projects undergoing successful governance transitions? Or for that matter unsuccessful transitions?

I'm interested in all types of projects that have done this, but in particular in those that started from a single founding organization and then later made a transition to effective governance by a broader set of stakeholders. The founding organization may well have encouraged this transition -- I'm not trying to focus on hostile or scandalous forks here, though if your example happens to fall in that category I wouldn't turn it down!

(ICIM: Yes, I have read "Governance Matters: Lessons from Restructuring the data.table OSS Project" (Oliviera, Amoakohene, Hocking, Gerosa, and Steinmacher) and seen tickets #5676 and #5656.)

I would be more enthused about Marginalia Search if their crawler had not twice hit my techblog for 9,000 requests in two hours or so. I let the first one pass, I blocked them after the second. Their crawler's user-agent is also just "search.marginalia.nu" which is excessively minimal to say the least. We need search engines like them, but we also need said engines to be run competently, or ideally, run well.

Okay here's a weird one. For the music thread today I wanted to link "05 Feed the Fire Pt 2 Master 1" by "lesserbirdman", but I… can't… because it only exists on Tidal. The artist isn't on Bandcamp or even Allmusic. Or any streaming service other than Tidal. There's nothing to link. It's like a Googlewhack or a hapax legomenon. The file exists in one place on the whole Internet. tidal.com/track/466095103

Coreblocks is a project with a well established, functional base (running Doom on Linux now ;) ), however with many interesting core mechanics and features still left to implement, and a potential for conducting research.
Take a look at our repository github.com/kuznia-rdzeni/coreb and the roadmap to silicon prototypes kuznia-rdzeni.org/a/stage2-roa to get a sense of a future development.

We are happy to help you getting involved.
Smaller contributions, including non-gateware ones are welcome too.

Interested in processor architectures, gateware design?

Coreblocks is looking for new contributors!

It is a modular RISC-V out-of-order processor, written in Amaranth (a powerful python-based HDL) and our transactional hardware library, making it a rather unique design.
Our teams dream goal is a fully open-source, usable processor, manufactured in the EU - and you can be part of it!

Larger contributions are planned to be funded from the Coreforge Foundation, starting in next months.

재귀 구현을 위해 Y combinator를 올바른 항으로 선언할 수 있게 타입 검사기를 고쳤으나 TyApp이 구현되어 있지 않아 안타깝게도 실행할 수 없다. 슬픈 일이다.

@adamghill

I can't use insta and I have a stained glass question. Is your wife on masto? Is there a contact email I could use? I have two possibly very old pieces and I'd love for someone to look at them and consider whether one should be repaired and whether the other could be used for more glass projects. Thanks!

MAGA: I have locked us all in this room and nobody can leave unless you let me drown this baby.

DEMS: Obviously no what the fuck

MAGA: Okay then I guess it's your fault we're locked in then.

DEMS: You're the one who locked the door.

MAGA: Yeah but you won't let us drown this baby tho so this is entirely your fault.

DEMS: You literally have all the power. You have all the keys.

MAGA: C'mon man just let us drown this baby we really really wanna! And then we can all go home for Christmas!

DEMS: Wait... What's that smell? Smells like... smoke?

MAGA: Oh yeah the house is on fire. Probably should've mentioned that.

DEMS: ON FIRE?? JESUS CHRIST WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!!

MAGA: Yeah I know man, too bad you won't just let us drown this baby. Looks like we're all going to burn instead.

DEMS: Look just give me the baby and unlock the door. We still have time to get out of here alright!

MAGA: *sigh* no can do, buckaroo. See, this baby? It's gotta get drowned first, one way or another.

DEMS: BUT WHY THOUGH

MAGA: Yanno...just seems like the right thing to do. Sort of like that time I set the house on fire.

DEMS: You're fucking insane.

MAGA: Oh real mature, asshole. Calling us names at a time like this with the house on fire, and this baby STILL not drowned.

DEMS: Oh shit I just remembered, the fire extinguisher! Remember that fire extinguisher I bought us a few years ago? Do we still have that?

MAGA: Oh this? Yep still got it. It's awesome by the way.

DEMS: Oh thank Christ we're saved!

MAGA: But obviously we can't use it.

DEMS: WHY THE FUCK NOT

MAGA: Because it's for EMERGENCIES you dummy. Jeez Louise do I have to do all the thinking around here?

DEMS: THIS IS A FUCKING EMERGENCY YOU DILDO

MAGA: You're always so emotional. That's why nobody likes you.

DEMS: If. You. Use. The. Fire. Extinguisher. Nobody. Dies. And. Everyone. Can. Leave.

MAGA: Or you could just let me drown this baby.

DEMS: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

MAGA: Okay look we'll take a vote on it. All in favor of letting us drown this baby?

DEMS: NO!

8 DEMS: maybe

DEMS: what the fuck was that?

8 DEMS: let's at least hear him out.

DEMS: Yes let's hear out the psychopath who set the house on fire and wants to drown a baby. Great idea.

MAGA: Ok ok look I can see we're close to agreement here, so

DEMS: The fuck we are.

MAGA: So... I propose a compromise. I'll unlock the door and stop setting any more fires, and we can figure out whether to drown this baby *later*.

DEMS: Absolutely the fuck no.

8 DEMS: how much later.

MAGA: idk maybe tomorrow or next week or something?

DEMS: You know you can't trust them, right? Tell me you know you can't trust them.

MAGA: Depends on how quickly I can gather some more kindling and matches.

DEMS: What the fuck was that?

MAGA: Nothing. You're hearing things. So do we have a deal?

DEMS: NO

8 DEMS: yes

MAGA: Great! Let me just drown this baby real quick and we can all get out of here!
