It is once again time to give thanks to Brian Fox, the Black American programmer that has given us BASH and echo! Thank you for your INCREDIBLE contributions to open source software, Unix, and Linux. It literally would not be the same without you. BASH is still absolutely foundational to all computing today. Happy Black History Month to an absolute icon!

Russia May Have Launched A Second #Oreshnik Ballistic Missile At Ukraine—But This One Reportedly Exploded On Russian Soil.
It seems that a few people are being misinformed about the deprecation of the X11 backend, usually because they read screeds from well-known bad faith actors.
The X11 backend being deprecated mainly means that we're not going to spend time implementing new features, like dmabuf, graphics offloading, or Vulkan support. X11 support will still exist until GTK4 is EOL, which will happen once GTK *6* is released. We're talking about a 20 years horizon, at this point…
Happy to announce that Void now officially supports a number of aarch64 UEFI devices, including:
- Apple Silicon macs (using components from @AsahiLinux)
- Thinkpad X13s (Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3-based laptop)
- Pinebook Pro by @PINE64 (Rockchip RK3399-based laptop)
New installation images are available for all supported platforms (x86_64, i686, aarch64, armv7l, and armv6l): https://voidlinux.org/news/2025/02/new-images.html
I'm currently looking for a remote software development job
I have plenty of experience making software using all sorts of languages, frameworks and tools. Tho I have the most experience with Rust, C++, C#. I also usually do native cross platform applications and backend.
You can find my full CV on my website https://luna.graphics

@howrd It's an unfortunate coincidence, Andy is from Taiwan, where 88 is a lucky number.
He is also born in 1988.
None
Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
