The Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) is a modular, DIY, low-cost, high-performance platform that allows for the easy fabrication of the 50 different Industrial Machines that it takes to build a small, sustainable civilization with modern comforts.

This is fully open‑source, libre hardware including enterprise blueprints and open business models.

Looking forward to learning more about this libre-licensed RISC-V SoC with Kazan GPU and VPU.

I'm really curious how these types of chips are prototyped. I know we can simulate a few hundred thousand logical operations with an FPGA, but is that even close to simulating a powerful chip of this size?

How come there are no open-source 2D printers?

We have all this open-source hardware—3D printers, soldering irons, single-board computers, and even some phones.

But there’s still no DIY/open-source printer that lets you use any ink without hacks or tricks, one that’s easy to upgrade and expand, without forcing you to buy all kinds of proprietary nonsense. Why?

I wish I had enough knowledge to start such a project. Hopefully, one day I will.


Let's start a discussion!

What do you think are the biggest challenges in creating an open-source 2D printer? What solutions could help overcome them?

@lewdthewides I hesitate between #Emacs 29's #SQLite support and some of the #LibreHardware & #FreeSoftware VR stuff.

Heat pump dryers are also pretty cool, no need for expensive laundromats in apartments that lack an exhaust vent (you'd be amazed how common that is as a tactic to try & get renters to pay the overpriced in-building laundromat).

@Elizafox #Unity were corposcum and they did what corpos do.

#Proprietary technology cannot be trusted. #FreeSoftware and #LibreHardware have always been the main viable options (public domain & creative commons also mostly qualify).

Hello, I am Skyflare, a Free Software fan. who is interested in #Libregaming, decentralization and customizing my stuff.

I like Free/Libre Games would love to contribute to them, although under the pretense of "research" I don't mind "researching" non-free games.

I am always happy to discuss stuff (excluding irrelevant politics) so feel free to to reply to me or to message me.

My Interests also include: #I2P #LibreHardware #OpenHardware #gamedev #anime #CustomKeyboards #gaming

@devinprater That's of the general issue with #proprietary sensory implants.

Right now they're too "dumb" to do all that, but that's not going to be a permanent state.

In the end, the firmware they incorporate, like all proprietary software, is built to enslave and suborn the user.

And then when the design is "obsolete" and the corposcum don't feel like maintaining it anymore? You're fucked (@pluralistic #Pluralistic https://pluralistic.net/2022/12/12/unsafe-at-any-speed/#this-is-literally-your-brain-on-capitalism).

#FreeSoftware and #LibreHardware are a necessity.

@gothcitrita @lawlznet Honestly, the display electronics are the most expensive part.

#LibreHardware body tracking & haptic gloves that costs a fraction of commercial while providing comparable performance is already a thing.

The headsets though? Well, if you already have a multi-hundred dollars FPGA & similarly expensive optics and display maybe.
