I've been meaning to sit down and learn Rust for a while, and have made a few attempts, but it never seemed to click in a way that stuck.

Well, the holidays have afforded me with several days in a cabin in Norway with no particular plans, which nicely lent itself to giving this another go.

Although I obviously haven't mastered the language yet, I do feel like it has clicked in a way that it hasn't before. I figured I'd share a couple of impressions from the experience here.

The 5.3 version of @yoctoproject has been released today.

It comes a bit later than expected because of the introduction of the "bitbake-setup" tool and the termination of the "poky" repository as a combo layer.

I like Yocto's ability to introduce disruptive changes in newer versions. This is a good sign that the project is well alive and can still improve its core.

See the official manual for the full release and migration notes: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/migration-guides/release-5.3.html

Someone said to call them Nationalist Christians, or Nat-Cs for short, and I can't unsee it.

MAGAs are Nat-Cs. Period.

When you know what the US has been about this whole time, that really puts the current moment in perspective.

We've been up to some ugly, ugly stuff. And it usually gets either silence or applause.

2025 is a whole different animal. The response has been strong and immediate. We had *preemptive* mass mobilization.

By millions of people who *aren't* being targeted by raids, jailing, and deportation. (Yet. 🙃)

That's never happened in US history before. This is different.

Been there, done that:

Jeg er ret træt af at læse om alle mulige "topchefer", "IT-konsulenter" og "CIO'er" der mener at det er Microsoft eller Kaos!Jeg er specielt træt af det, fordi det er præcis samme ballade vi havde med IBM for 40 år siden.Faktisk ved jeg præcis hvordan forløbet ser ud, for jeg har allerede været igennem det én gang tidligere.Kuwait Investment Company købte forskellige olieselskaber i Europa, i Danmark var det Gulf Oil, og af årsager jeg aldrig har fundet ud af, dømte de IBM ude og UNIX inde.IT-cheferne fik lodret ordre om at skifte til UNIX.Den danske IT-chef ignorerede ordren, for det var jo u

I'm formally stepping down as a nouveau kernel maintainer.

I want to stress out this is only for the kernel side of things and has and will not have any impact on my involvement in mesa.

Don't really want to add too much here, just that things need to change. Recent events (tm) is just another example of the deep disagreement.

I won't be able to convince people I made up my mind on my own here, so I won't bother with it anyway.

[PATCH 1/1] MAINTAINERS: Remove myself

This is how you do it

“But any assistant U.S. attorney would know
that our laws and traditions do not allow using the prosecutorial power to influence other citizens, much less elected officials, in this way. If no lawyer within earshot of the Pres is willing to give him that advice, then I expect 👉🏼you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.👈🏼

Please consider this my resignation”
