Kind and cherished FOSS and computing freedom advocate @[email protected] (Joyce Ng) has gone missing and there is reason to fear she may have been apprehended by authorities, possibly likely even for being framed. Nobody has been able to reach her and many of us are worried for her safety. Joyce does work on verifiable open source hardware. She also has been an activist pushing against the rise of far-right Christian nationalism globally but especially in Singapore. Because of this and her identity, she has people who would like to see bad things happen to her. Probably for this reason, she may have been misidentified by Five Eyes as being a threat actor. Joyce wrote about this concern in November, posting a threatening screenshot where she was tipped off. https://bitowl.online/about Please spread this wide. Hopefully this is a false alarm but Joyce is a kind-hearted person who fights for human rights and computing freedom; many of us are worried for her safety.

What I got from FOSSASIA Summit 2026

These are the interesting things I found at/got from FOSSASIA Summit 2026. Day 1 (Mar 8) Today is what they call “Community Day”, which was full of talk sessions but no booths. Beyond the Blinky LEDs: Teaching How to Think Like an Engineer This sessions talks about the DIY electronics community making fancy gadgets, such as making a humidity/temperature sensor from ESP32 and putting together a Grafana dashboard. However, there is one big problem with guides found on the internet: they make us follow step by step, without thinking or asking why this needs to be done.

Some cool stuff from FOSSASIA2026.

A RISC-V motherboard for a #framework 13.

I like the esthetics of my x1 carbon with IBM colors and it has trackpoint, but frameworks giving almost everything else I like about computers.

The year of RISC-V laptops probably is not yet here, but excited how fast #riscv advancing.
