my kid went to an art thing and they got CDRs to draw on because apparently such things are worthless now, but one of them had this magnificent label that seems kind of sad to discard

I had an appointment for a ham license and got cold feet after reading the conditions.
It appears that it requires waiving your 4th Amendment rights by agreeing to random warrentless "FCC inspections".
Without a license, this becomes much less actionable regardless of what the FCC claims.

GitHub was the answer to "what if sourceforge didn't suck?" I'm kind of worried we're getting a new sourceforge 😢

After a few nights of reading through thousands of pages of PRMs I have finally implemented a modesetting driver for Intel HD graphics on Redox OS: gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/bas.... There is much more to do, but there is now a clear path to native hardware accelerated graphics!
