The good news are that turning a terror website into basic HTML is quite straightforward so if what you want is for the whole web to look like #Gemini (or the late 90s web) that can be arranged. This might be a solution to @drewdevault’s argument that the #web is too large, assuming #SerenityOS #Ladybug browser doesn’t undermine it first by making a reasonably modern web browser out of thin air.
Very tempted to make a tiny non compliant browser using #CosmicText but I don’t have time.

Today's relaxing FLAC hacking session: Adding #metadata
writing to #SerenityOS's #FLAC #encoder!

I'll put this plainly again: We have started porting #SerenityOS to #RISCV (64). For now, Sönke is working on getting various things to "just work" (as far as I know, they have the Kernel booting to some degree!), and I am working on getting baseline patches and support refactorings upstreamed. But you're welcome to join us in the new #risc-v channel on Discord! I'm super excited for this, RISC-V is my favorite architecture and I hope it's the future of personal computers.
My goal is to eventually have a FLOSS OS for this machine that’s on par with early 00’s OS X or at least Mac OS 9.
I think my best hope is #SerenityOS or #HaikuOS, and that a reasonable timescale is maybe 5-10 years.

@inari I posted about #serenityos recently. Do I need to buy a Dell mini 10 or does it run on another laptop?
Hey, everyone 🫶
Was reading a few blog posts today and was wondering, if anyone is interested to share their favourite #blog or #article
My favs are:
https://blog.orhun.dev by @orhun, mostly about #Linux, #Rust and a cool series called #Zig Bits
https://words.filippo.io by @filippo, about everything #cryptography and a bit of #Golang
I like reading about #serenityos from time to time on https://awesomekling.github.io
What are yours? :)
(Boost for exposure? :blobcatheartbongo:)

Playing around with #serenityos this afternoon. Unfortunately, QEMU is quite slow on my 2nd generation i7. I bet this OS would fly on native hardware. I'm getting tempted to buy yet another cheap laptop.
#LadybirdBrowser and #SerenityOS are really fun to watch. $310k is a lot of fundraising. Shopify impresses me with their commitment to open source technologies, like their recent post of redoing the Ruby parser.
Started verifying #git commits with #GPG (I never generated a PGP key before!) just for that pleasant "Verified" tag on all my #GitHub commits. I'm now a Verified #SerenityOS contributor ™️
I just noticed that a week ago was my 2-year anniversary of working on #serenityos, and contributing to open source in general.
It was this very small change to `gron`, "Read from stdin if no file is provided": https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/7916
Almost none of that code remains now, things move quickly, but that was my first step which got me hooked. :caret:

Far from the best wall art but the most SerenityOS-one so far. Let's hope someone more artistically inclined recreates buggie :buggie: #GPN21 #serenityos

I was yakbaited into writing an Aarch64 bootloader for #SerenityOS. Reading the ARM assembly and ISA guide reminds me that I'm more knowledgeable with low-level programming than I was, say, a year ago. But that also makes me impatient - "come on, just tell me which registers I can touch without crashing the processor, that's all I need to know"
