@catsalad @ramonfincken Reading through this concept, I’d like to remind everybody that constantly polling a big wide honking bracket can be used to pinpoint exact details. Replying “under 13” every day until today (you now reply “13-16”) means today is your 13th birthday. There is zero point in adding brackets when services can already determine your exact age using this method.
California needs to stop writing hopes & prayers and start writing laws which include expert guidance.
@ClickyMcTicker @catsalad @ramonfincken that's why I have not already lied about my kids ages and set them up multiple accounts on web services they're not old enough to use yet.

@catsalad If you're wondering why I just went through 19 hours of your toots, retooting multiple posts, mostly cat-related, it wasn't for any of the usual creepy reasons. I was determined to find and retoot this toot, after seeing it in a browser window just before said browser window dumped core.

@catsalad
"Pssst, Hey kid, you want something that'll make your PC run like a thousands times better. (opens a coat to reveal USBs) I got a Mint, Arch, Zorin, Ubuntu, Debian if you feeling up for it I just got Pop!OS"@softspeak @catsalad This, but certain BSDs, 9Front, XV6, V7x86, Movitz, Native Oberon, UCSD p-System, and eventually, that rewrite of XV6 in SPARK Ada.

They'll be able to tell your age by the fact that you care about this issue. ;)

we need to focus hard on building serious open hardware capacities, because if ppl will opt out of proprietary operating systems which verify age, they will move age verification into hardware, so we need to avoid proprietary hardware too. ...better to start immediately supporting that and sharing options, because its not a questiin IF, but only WHEN they will do that.

sounds interesting.
is it something i can replace either my phone or laptop with or is that the goal?is there a way this can be leveraged in the future so many ppl can produce it to supply it to ppl everywhere? 🙂

@serapath @catsalad Laptops, yes, and from a technical standpoint, phones should also be possible. Probably not phones that use existing phone networks, unfortunately, given the tight corporate and government control on what can connect to those networks. If some of the current mesh network projects continue to progress and spread, though, that might be less of an issue.

is there a website or more information?
this sounds amazing.how "fast" is it?
if its basic, its still useful for some tasks, but if it could compare to modern low end laptops, those that you can maybe buy new for 100-200 USD, that would be great. you could then install a desktop OS and use web browsers and various programs ... of course no high end gaming or any other performance/resource hungry app ...but still -

Most of what they have recreates fairly basic old machines, but in among them are several RISC-V and ARM-like implementations which could run modern operating systems and applications. It would take community efforts to build working computing devices around cores burned into FPGAs, but once there is motivation, I'm confident it will happen.

@tubetime @Amorpheus @serapath @catsalad 🙂 yeah, I was kidding! I know we aren't going to knock up a PCB-based, GHz-speed, super-scalar, super-pipelined CPU in our sheds. (And the power consumption of you could! 🔥)
Now that I am thinking about it, though, I wonder what actually would be achievable for an enthusiastic amateur with means? For instance, would it be plausible for them to make an actual 6502 chip? At what point in the history of silicon manufacturing did cost and complexity make it utterly unachievable outside of the existing players in the industry?
@GerardThornley @tubetime @serapath @catsalad ARM is a good example. They just design circuitry, they do not fabricate it. Design is in the grasp of small expert groups and even individuals, but fabrication is only possible if you accumulate enough financial support.
Make your design and propose it. If you get enough supporters, let dedicated fabs produce it.

national regulations
you mean regulatjons made by the epstein class?
its hard to regulate an open source bazaar where private ppl offer their printing services.
what are you exactly afraid of?
why wouldnt platforms like etsy or more open alternatives exist in the future? -

@catsalad pirate OSes, if you will.

@serapath @catsalad I've been thinking about this. We should design for bigger mode sizes. If we can manufacture open hardware on the same fans that make power electronics we're pretty much home free. We will have to give up peak performance and power efficiency to do so.
In the meantime, don't throw out any hardware that runs and some of what doesn't. Old corpo laptops were cheap last I checked (double check because of RAM) and probably a good thing to buy by the palletload

@ramonfincken Oh, nevermind.. They are discussing it
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2026-March/043510.html
@catsalad @ramonfincken which means they will add it. The whole 'open source' and 'discussion' thing is a veneer over the fact that Shuttleworth is one of those people Big Mad about no more Apartheid, and super into phrenology, eugenics, and loves his pal Thiel.

@tubetime @GerardThornley @Amorpheus @catsalad
nobody said it was easy.
the first published linux version 0.01 was published in 1991.
Would anyone believe where this could go decades later? no!did anyone imagine open source 3D printers and a network of private ppl offering 3d printing services would ever be a thing?
etsy even offers 3d printing services.
It just needs a start.
There are projects like the https://mntre.com/ and a lot of open tech exists to further grow an ecosystem
@serapath @tubetime @GerardThornley @Amorpheus @catsalad

@serapath @catsalad and people need to get this through their skulls right now.
If that's your "solution" then you had better be prepared for nothing more advanced than a cut-down Raspberry Pi 1. You will never see anything resembling a modern processor again.
Hardware is EXTREMELY capital intensive. You cannot "open source" a 12 layer PCIe AM5 motherboard. This is why people need to be making clear to hardware companies that this collaboration will result in consequences well beyond sales drops -

Sui partigiani della S.A.P. di Vallecrosia (IM)
Villefranche-sur-Mer Per le azioni del Gruppo Sbarchi Vallecrosia che si intrecciarono con quelle della locale S.A.P. erano attivi, tra gli altri, Pietro Gerolamo Girò Marcenaro, suo fratello Sergio Marcenaro, quattordicenne staffetta, Luciano Mannini (Rosina), Alberto Nino Guglielmi, i fratelli Bartolomeo (Lilò – Volpe) ed Ettore (Lilò – Lupo) Biancheri, Enzo Giribaldi, Francesco Cè Bussi, Renato…

Aiutati dai maquis francesi
Una vista sul Principato di Monaco Le prime voci di antifascismo a Vallecrosia si ebbero nel 1940/41 da parte di Achille , di Francesco "Cè" Garini, di "Girò" [n.d.r.: o "Gireu", Pietro Gerolamo Marcenaro, il quale ultimo risultava latitante già nel verbale della Questura (fascista) di Imperia del 15 giugno 1944, riferito alle indagini ed agli arresti effettuati verso la fine di maggio nella zona di…

Incontrai il capitano Gino
Mentone Mio fratello Piero da oltre due mesi era in territorio francese. Con Gianni (Katiuscia) , mio compagno a Pigna [(IM), Alta Val Nervia] e a Testa d'Alpe, decidemmo di attraversare il fronte con una barca; trovai subito Bric Brac , pescatore; la barca c'era, non era sua, ma la vendette come fosse stata di sua proprietà; pagai con quanto mi rimaneva.

元々ブログとしては、はてなブログを使っていたんだけど微妙にリッチテキストを書くのが面倒くさくなってきていた
そのため、もっと簡単に文を綴れるブログが欲しいなと思い、ブログを作ることにした
ついでに「ActivityPub対応にすれば毎回ブログの記事をシェアする必要もなくなるので便利だよな」と考え、ActivityPub対応のブログとして「Tsuzuri(綴り)」を作った開発にあたっては使い慣れたRailsを使い、サポートにLLMとFedifyを使ってローカル環境でのMastodonとの疎通確認とかを行った
正直FedifyとLLMとの組み合わせて雑にセットアップを任せられるの便利だった今後は何かしら思いついたことを雑に書きつつ、何かしらのイベントで話せればと思う
