@daliasCassandrich And I want the ARM world to move away from the insanity that is the current DTBs:
* They suck at describing the hardware, they are more a Linux config file: Linux forks (vendor trees) will always have incompatible ones because upstream doesnt care about compatibility...
* Not only every SoC needs to be supported, every board needs its own broken DTB... Which leads to board-specific brokeness for SoC-provided features!
* Good mainline support never comes before the effective end of life of the device... Even with big companies working on it with significant resources!
By allowing DTBs to exist, vendors could start making SoCs very very diverse without caring about the software ecosystem. This is nuts and this insanity needs to be stopped by introducing discoverable buses and blocks, then add per-vendor platform drivers as a glue. Something akin to ACPI would then be introduced for board-specific customization.
You can keep the compatibles and the equivalent of a DTB to document if blocks are user-visible or not (so that he is not exposed to the user otherwise). New SoCs should finally be mostly backwards compatible, allowing basic release-day upstream support, and reducing the need for vendor trees, or the cost of mainlining.

every chat protocol made after IRC persistently keeps you in your chat rooms, even when you’re not connected to the server at the moment. this is generally considered to be a good thing
however, consider: this removes the peak comedy of someone saying “let me try this out real quick” and getting loudly kicked out of the room by their own OOM killer taking exception to an unchecked memory leak.
so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not
Before going to bed last night, a friend told me they were already hearing bombs dropping (in the Middle East, but not in Iran or Israel). Their flights back to the US got cancelled.
Millions of people who don't want a war dragged into it anyways. I'm praying for the living and mourning the dead.

The sound of a compact cassette tape being rewound feels like butterflies in my stomach somehow.
A bonobo’s pretend tea party suggests that imagination predates humans. A study in Science shows that Kanzi, a 43-year-old bonobo, could track imaginary juice and grapes in during a tea party, reliably distinguishing pretend from real objects. The findings suggest that at least some apes can mentally represent things that are not physically present, a capacity long viewed as uniquely human. https://sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260210040605.htm

#Dubai is the tax-exempt playground where feckless, spoiled, entitled people go to live high off the hog while literal slaves are trapped all around them.

I’m concerned stuff like this will lead to a “dark forest” scenario, in which the risks of open source outweigh the benefits. Not today, but it's not impossible tomorrow.

“To all influencers and other tax exiles in Dubai, the tax authorities wish you a safe return to France”
There must be a way to come to the fediverse to read about anything other than ICE, Trump and US politics, but I for sure can't figure out how and:
1. I actively avoid following people who boost US politics.
2. I actively try to stick to people based in...elsewhere that's not the US.
3. I disable boosts for those who boost ANY sort of politics.
4. I have hundreds of word filters.
5. I follow other languages than English.
And yet, every day....I'm force-fed what I'm actively trying to avoid.
I don't get it, that's why I'm less here than usual.

there’s many things which piss me off about modern web design practices but the worst one would be interfaces which show you a list or table of some small item and force you to look at this shit with pagination of like 50 items at a time
and then you try clicking previous and next to actually find whatever it is that you’re looking for and pray to all gods that this thing isn’t too dumb to remember where it was and is going to just return some random items from the middle
motherfuckers will pour megabytes worth of javascript down your pipe, but sending more than a few kilobytes worth of actual payload is too much bandwidth for them
anyway this rant brought to you by my attempt of looking at a PR review on github and being stuck trying to figure out how to load more than 40 comments at once
you know what is good at handling large amounts of text at a time? computers. you should try it sometime. it’s kinda amazing how much text you can fit in a few hundred megs of RAM.

Although motivated by writing a policy, this post about what I really think, as an entirely separate matter from what I think project policies should look like.
