Hey #libobscura fans!

Did you know that the project is actually made up of 11 crates maintained here?

There are several crates for video hardware support, but even if you're not a #camera fan:

- error-backtrace (can you guess what it does?) https://libobscura.codeberg.page/private-api/error_backtrace/
- const_enum for easier bindings gneration https://libobscura.codeberg.page/private-api/const_enum/
- crispy, a bunch of #shaders for image processing https://libobscura.codeberg.page/private-api/crispy/

Check them out too!

"Journalists are always hesitant to write about press freedom, for fear of making themselves the story, but the time for that is long gone. You’re not making yourself the story, Trump is," Seth Stern tells FAIR.

These are not the actions of an org that cares about your privacy.
