i so appreciate @rowanzeoli.bsky.social giving me the chance to speak about my thoughts on Going Rogue as political project

it's been interesting & challenging trying to be thoughtful about how i approach (& market) this game in that respect, & getting to talk its *limitations* was actually v nice
For me, one of the greatest historical questions faced by the left is “how do we make a movement decisive and tolerant enough of inevitable collateral damage to actually overthrow capitalism, while remaining democratic and accountable enough that the new government we build still answers to the people.” Communist revolutions have all struggled with this question, and while American propaganda depicts them as more oppressive than they were, it’s quite clear we still haven’t fully succeeded in finding that balance. "Both pillars represent necessary parts of a revolutionary movement that must be balanced for it to succeed." I don’t expect playing Going Rogue will answer that question — games aren’t organizing. What I do want Going Rogue to do is to help players involved in liberation struggle to reflect on how they feel about that question. When I wrote it, I was feeling incredibly dispirited by conflicts between local anarchist and communist groups, and even conflicts within anarchist and communist groups I’d been in. They weren’t as high stakes as open violent revolution, but they were still fundamental questions about how decisions were made, who’s accountable to who, how we decide what risks are worth taking, and so on, in situations that often involved the risk of jail time and serious bodily harm. I wrote these feelings into Going Rogue, and wrote them without answers. It’s a game about having those questions, encouraging players to step into the role of a character and, hopefully, safely explore those feelings in an environment where the stakes are far lower. Its playbooks and pillars force you to look from different perspectives — as a GMless game, you’re inhabiting the role of The Parliament and The Intelligence simultaneously. When I wrote it, I needed that, and there’s no better outcome I could hope for than the idea that it might help other organizers struggling with the same feelings.

It’s simple, the more idiots resist, the faster the models will advance, it’s impossible to adapt or die

Folks, my course that teaches professional skills to graduate students is going to discuss professional email etiquette when emailing potential PhD advisors, committee members, colleagues, or employers.

Saw a big ass frog when I went for a walk earlier. Pics don't do him justice but this fucker was huge. Definitely one of the top 5 frogs I've ever seen in my life.

Probably the first time a #Trackmania server has been run on RISC-V. Powered by an OrangePi RV2, Box64, and Ubuntu #Linux.

I'm on the latest episode the TMPDIR podcast hosted by Khem Raj and Cliff Brake. We talk about various projects I've been involved in (RISC-V, LLVM, lowRISC, Raspberry Pi), current work at @igalia.com, and tech in general. Thanks for having me on! tmpdir.org/043/

OrangePi RV2: an octo-core 64bit RISC-V SBC with many bells as whistles.

PROS:
- Inexpensive: I spent $76 CAD shipped for the 8GB model
- Plentiful storage options (MicroSD, 2x NVMe, eMMC, 3x USB 3.0)

CONS:
- Currently only a proprietary fork of Ubuntu 24.04 runs on it (but sources are available)
Installed the OS on a 64 GB eMMC module, and SSH'd into the PC. Showing some of the details reported by neo fetch and LSCPU Angled view of the board showing the two Ethernet ports, 4 USB ports, HDMI, and the USB-C power port. In the distance you can make out the primary SOC chip, the GPIO pins, the RAM chip, and the smaller NVMe connector.

We've had a great time in Paris at the RISC-V Summit Europe. Thanks for all the interest in our work in the RISC-V ecosystem & beyond.

Today @asbradbury.org presented progress on RISC-V vector code generation in LLVM. We'll be sharing a detailed write-up of this talk next week so watch this space!
