Is there a computer sciencey term, or an extra long German word for the state where a project manager loses touch with reality and starts to just iterate through their process tree like a defective robot in an Asimov story?

Success. I got my two #CANPico boards to communicate with each other using #MicroPython. The logic analyzer was able to pick up the data from the wire. Thanks, @kentindell for an awesome framework. Next up: hooking everything up to a Toyota Camry.

I am porting/rewriting CC1101 driver to #Micropython, also you can see today obsolete wire wrapping for prototyping. I would later time to achieve similar SDR functionality as Flipper Zero for ISM frequencies but with possibility of scripting in Micropython

How do other #opensource maintainers deal with LLM-generated contributions? I'm starting to see chatgpt-generated pull requests on the projects I maintain and I wonder how others handle them.

I'm tempted to take a strong anti-LLM stance, but at the same time I know that some people (especially beginners) might use LLM to help them write code, and I don't want to scare away newcomers.

Do you know of any projects that have published some policies regarding this?

(boosts appreciated)

Sooo, it's far from perfect in terms of evenness, but it's really mechanically stable and *so* easy and cheap to make so a mid yield really does not matter.
I present: DIY ZnS:Ag scintillation screens for alpha detectors!

Fediverse hive mind, please help!

I'm so close to successfully transitioning from to , but the one thing holding me back is a working IDE for C#.

apparently doesn't exist for Linux.

does, but it doesn't have multi-monitor support and won't let me use ctrl-click for selection.

seems to work well, except for the endless lag while typing (sometimes taking 30+ seconds to register each keystroke).

Is there an alternative that works well? I'm on 40 currently.

Noisy robot machine! 

Love that I can both cut and score cardstock on my tiny little Graphtec cutter. All running on #opensource toolchains! @inkscape on an Arch laptop etc. :)

People commit their time and energy to build free and open source software, standards and protocols, and digital culture.

And yet the most critical infrastructure can lose maintainers when it lacks financial support, even while millions depend on it.

Join us at our next virtual meetup exploring how we fund digital public goods and sustain those who contribute and maintain the digital commons.

Ace night talking about and selling #StoRPer my #opensource #robot at the #nullsector night market. Thanks to all who stopped by for a chat... was ace!

Gestern haben wir in #Berlin vor der Neuen Wache die Namen der 15.000 Kinder verlesen, die in #Gaza seit dem 7.10. gestorben sind. Den ganzen Tag nichts weiter: der Name, das Alter, der Name, das Alter. Kind für Kind. Bis nach Mitternacht. Ich war abends für drei Stunden dabei und durfte auch an einige Kinder erinnern. Während des Leseaktes gab eine stille Performance von weissen Engeln. Eine starke und sehr traurige Aktion. #saytheirnames

Here is my new GNU/Linux distribution guide about Debian KDE 12, the right GNU/Linux distribution for professional digital painting in 2024! Also about three major problems with GNU/Linux distros that will drive away all professional artists, IMO, and how I got kicked out of the Fedora KDE ecosystem with F40, which imposed Plasma6 and Wayland. I hope it helps other artists here!
