UPDATE: https://chaos.social/@sleepyowl/116257348164580770
Kind and cherished FOSS and computing freedom advocate @sleepyowl (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.

Attached: 1 image Have no fear, 'cause I iz here. Unfortunately, this disappearance was not a false alarm. A few of us were arrested on the evening of 16 March, and all but one person was released on bail on the 18th. I am doing alright myself, although some were traumatized by the experience. We will need some time to rest, decompress and consider our legal options. I will provide more details about what transpired when we are able to do so. Thank you all for your concern & support! With love, Joyce/BitOwl
Spent half my life on a 6502c but nobody wants to hear...
Time to have some fun programming.
I've been playing around with #odinlang and am really liking it. It's fun just checking out the comments in the Odin Source code for examples. This was how I learned #Smalltalk and it really does help you really learn to use a language.
Odin's make system reminds me of Pascal. No separate make file just compile the file with the main function in it and the compiler figures out what other files need be compiled.
Go is nice but it feels to corporate.
Scientists have detected another possible Monday arriving as early as next week. If true, this will be the 9th Monday this year. They warn that there are a little over 3 days left to prepare.
Mondays can be bad. Hug those you love and help them through it. Spend these remaining days wisely.
I have created a first release of some extensions that I created for #Hyprland. These make use of Hyprland IPC and #Rofi and help when working with Workspaces and Client Windows. You can give them a try. They are located on #Codeberg
Fossil gas makes Europe vulnerable.
It fuels the climate crisis, drives up costs, and hands power over our energy to politicians we cannot trust.
Energy security means breaking free from gas.
