RE: @libreoffice@fosstodon.org

One cannot underestimate the value LibreOffice brings to the world.

Go get it. Use it. If possible: support it too.

Nope. I’m this old.

IRC is so darn fun! And cheap! And Simple! And ubiquitous!

If you want to have some fun today, there's a small IRC network running at the Vintage Computer Fest West in Mountain View, California.

People that visit the exhibit around the "Cube Computing" stand will see mIRC open and you can interact with them, perhaps they'll interact with you!

I present you one of the most efficient sub-65W power supplies on the market. Supports several PD and PPS standards and has one most efficient switching topologies at an average of 91.6% when at 25%~100% load.

Idle power consumption is at an excellent 0.03W.

Not the smallest or most compact but at $24.99 is one of the best options you can find.

State of the Bay Area these days, you ask? I think this summary of Google I/O is excellent in recapping what’s going on.

This is what you get when you have best in class players with the highest ethical standards.

ARM has quietly made its own CPU, end to end. A physical CPU. It’s called the ARM AGI CPU.

Forget the whole AI/AGI bs for a second: this is gonna change the industry as a whole, not for the CPU itself but rather for the fact they’re clearly shifting their historical focus from a technology/IP company to a full vertical silicon company.

A new NVIDIA is probably getting born.

If you’re in the business or CPUs (think Qualcomm, Broadcom, etc…) take note as your very foundation will change.

What in the holy pizzaz is going on with everyone using “send code to email” as normal login method for everything?!

This looks like the ringtone business all over again.

Fact Friday: everybody knows Linux’ mascot is a penguin.

But what kind of penguin? Turns out it’s a Little Fairy Penguin, a species from New Zealand, Australia and Tasmania.

A young Linus Torvalds visited Australia and was bitten by one of these penguins. Legend was born.

I think I'll be tooting in italian a little bit more. There are certain nuances that can be conveyed only with one's native language.

Like, for example...

L'inesorabile rottura di coglioni nel vedere la propria esperienza di decenni svalutata da cazzari agentici con nessuna competenza di sorta.

Folks, anybody around for the #VCF2026
in Mountain View? It's an awesome place, would love to meet some of you if you're around!
