Who needs systemd? Next release, comma four boots 2x faster, with just 250 lines of bash replacing systemd.

Steam Controller ran out faster than we anticipated, and we hate that not everyone who wanted one was able to get it. We’re working on getting more in stock and will have an update on expected timeline soon.

@___Harald___ @FrameworkPuter I also had a similar experience playing Portal and Half-Life 1 on Fedora. Funnily enough the Proton version for Portal 1 worked better than the native linux build lol. Proton is making serious improvements. 10 years ago, even the thought of Linux gaming felt far-fetched.

Good linux gaming is my favorite new technology. I bought a @FrameworkPuter desktop, installed ubuntu, installed steam, and plugged in a controller. Then I started playing black myth wukong. No config or complicated setup. Flawless experience.

Marty at Id did ask for a video from me, but there was a miscommunication about when he needed it, so I didn’t get it done by the actual anniversary…

open-source software development may be the most positive-sum industry that's ever existed. Linux, git, python, pypi, numpy, pytorch, tensorflow, nginx, redis, docker, ... have created trillions in value with only a few billion in funding.

While everyone's shoving their 2-year VPN plans, Glad to know @windscribecom not only offers a reasonable free plan but allows people on X to farm for more data lol

We've been discussing this @comma_ai recently. We've been at the cutting-edge of end-to-end autonomy for several years. We have phases where we philosophize about the theory, and phases where we quickly try many things. Breakthroughs are overwhelmingly made during the latter.

Today marks 25 years since the first commit to FFmpeg by Fabrice Bellard FFmpeg was made to play DVDs, DivX and other video files for free, and continues to be developed by enthusiasts FFmpeg changed the world, powering all online video Happy 25th Birthday FFmpeg! 🎉🎁🎂

I have also run this fun thought experiment! More of the world than many might imagine could run on outdated hardware if software optimization was truly a priority, and market price signals on scarce compute would make it happen. Rebuild all the interpreted microservice based products into monolithic native codebases! Innovative new products would get much rarer without super cheap and scalable compute, of course.

It is time for our first giveaway. We're giving away a Librem 14 from Purism. It's a fancy expensive $1,400+- laptop. Requirements: - Follow @ddd1ms on Xitter - Comment below Librem is a pro-privacy laptop that unironically comes with a fuckin' kill switches for mic, bluetooth, camera. It has Intel Management engine disabled. It runs PureOS, with app sandboxing, adblocking, tracking protection, etc. This laptop is basically a privacy nerd laptop. It also comes with a bunch of NSA stickers, HOPE (Hackers on Planet Earth) stickers, FBI Most Wanted stickers, etc. I forgot to ask for the specs on the laptop, but I'll get that stuff later on. Attached image is the laptop he'll mail to your home.

Ring 0 is a highly-privileged state on CPUs. Negative Ring Levels have even *higher* privilege. You just haven’t heard of them. For X86, Ring -1 is Hardware Virtualization, Ring -2 is System Management Mode, Ring -3 is Intel ME / AMD PSP. Arm get's even weirder:

Just wrote a blog documenting my solutions to Problem Set 2 of CS50. The Programming exercises in this week include writing programs in C language implementing the Caesar Cipher, the Coleman Liau Index and Scrabble. yousafbabur.com/2025/02/28/lea…

FYI, the best security researchers weren't made in corporate training rooms. They were forged by curiosity, open resources, and community-driven knowledge. If you're here for that energy then come on down!

I don't care who you are: learn Linux in 2025🐧
