The probability of @tnt in a presentation is low, but it's never zero!

Our chip viewer just got an upgrade: now you can see microscope images, GDS, local interconnect and jump straight to project files. Spot something cool? Dive right into the design.

Hands-on experience is key in learning analog design - but waiting months for a tapeout slows everything down.

Peter Kinget built MOSbius, an “analog FPGA” that lets students experiment with real circuits in real time.

Join me at 08:00 PT, 17:00 CEST, 20:30 IST for another open source silicon stream!

After covering the news, we'll take a look at the MOSbius project, a programmable transistor array and see if a small version could fit on Tiny Tapeout

Good to see that @Mastodon has hit pause on the new ToS and are going to revisit the offending clauses.

@Gargron Also, I saw your note on the Github issue about using pro-bono counsel. If you'd like me to ask EFF's lawyers about helping Mastodon come up with fair and user-rights-preserving ToS, please email me at cory@eff.org
