Exciting day at #MNT Research working on the Pocket Reform! Today I am attaching CPU modules to adapter boards and then attaching adapter boards to logic boards. Almost ready to start flashing the system image (hello #Debian) onto them soon after @mntmn finishes the final touches! #OSHW
The #MNT Pocket Reform assembly is in full swing here in the #Berlin spring! Good morning little computers to be, you will soon be in the hands of a warm human companion.
Just got started with the assembly of the battery holders and battery managment system in the MNT Pocket Reform today! Work continues with @theawesomerandomness and I while @mntmn is out at Embedded World.
I am ecstatic to announce that I'm starting work with MNT Research in #Berlin! I just got confirmation that my visa was approved and can start work April 1st (not a joke)! Thanks to @mntmn, @theawesomerandomness, @holo_memory, @plom and the whole community for giving me this incredible opportunity, I couldn't be more excited!
An important distinction is slowly being uncovered about the definition of the term "fediverse." Who is it that gets to decide what this place is? How are we being represented? These are not easy questions to answer and if we don't do a better job describing ourselves, then the job will get done for us by people who don't understand the underlying values we hold. #fediverse#meta#threads
@arcanicanis thanks for this @silverpill, the discussion is really interesting, I just spent the last 30 minutes reading it. I wonder if there is anyone seriously working on MLS + ActivityPub yet.
Welcome to #textcasting! "Applying the philosophy of podcasting to text"
I came across @davew's http://textcasting.org proposal. There are going to be multiple layers of standards that make up the federated social web. None will win, ever. Defining a lowest common denominator for the exchange of public messages makes a lot of sense to me.
Way more interesting and healthy fediverse news is happening in the shadows and is barely getting discussed! Which is: Discourse has federation between different instances of itself and other #fediverse software such as Mastodon working!
I am watching the "State of Open Source Hardware" keynote by Alicia Gibb of @oshwassociation. They mentioned in the keynote they are running a bot at @OSHWA_OSHW. Went to go check it out and am now its 25th follower...
