sooo i tried using the new b4 review TUI for my last U-Boot PR and it was a bit of a disaster. I understand the process being a bit clunky to begin with but the whole process of actually setting up a branch was really involved. It failed to update a bunch of series on pathwork, and the b4 ty emails it generated had completely wrong commit SHAs

I get that the intention is primarily patch review but even for that it feels less like a tool i can utilise to automate the process and more like an imposed workflow that offers little flexibility

the thing that really pissed me off in the end though was realising that b4 review was VIBE CODED, kinda explains everything... This tool had so much potential but i struggle to see now how it will deliver when AI is involved in building it

More than 1y ago I created a vala file typing "using GLib;", today that file is part of a new DE in GTK4 running on top of the labwc compositor.

I love Open Source thanks to it, directly or not, I am running a pc with everything I like, the way I like. Everything from the libs to the apps is exactly how I need 🤩

A tip? If something is not how you like.. just make it the way you like.

Ready for the Singularity?

Las Reglas Mandela son claras: es tortura que una persona pase más de 15 días
aislada en una celda, sin contacto humano apreciable durante 22 horas o más al
día.

Estas normas añaden que el aislamiento solo debe usarse excepcionalmente, como
último recurso y durante el menor tiempo posible.

Sin embargo, los datos que obtuvimos de las tres administraciones penitenciarias
del país revelan un sistema que recurre al aislamiento habitualmente.

Lo investigó Ter García:

I wrote a bootloader in Rust that boots Linux on IBM PowerVM — no C, no GRUB, no standard library. Just #![no_std] Rust talking directly to Open Firmware, parsing FAT and ISO9660, loading ELF kernels using UAPI BLS spec, and jumping to them with inline assembly. The hardest part? The firmware has a secret limit on memory allocations that nobody documents.
