joshbaptiste··on FFmpeg moves to Forgejo
Why leave Gitea just because an alternative exists..
joshbaptiste··on The militarization of Silicon Valley
Makes sense.. the elites have outsourced much of the US manufacturing capacity during the neo-liberalism era.. and one of the major exports that still remain is defense and since capital always needs an avenue to exploit, defense is what it is for the capital giants.

Love the "Drop In" Feature opening a conversation channel to a particular room..
joshbaptiste··on Kernel WiFi driver maintainer steps down without a replacement
Wonder if drivers were adopted under newer low-level languages (Rust/Zig/Odin/C3/Hare etc..) if that would boost participation rates for newer kernel device driver builders..
joshbaptiste··on FFmpeg by Example
One thing on Linux systems I like to do is build ffmpeg statically.. as distro versions are sometimes too old or don't include modules I prefer.. this containerized version has done wonders for me https://github.com/wader/static-ffmpeg
joshbaptiste··on Deepseek: The quiet giant leading China’s AI race
As a sovereign nation rises in power you'll notice how it slowly starts losing favor from USA
joshbaptiste··on AWS acquires Talen's 960MW nuclear data center campus in Pennsylvania

indeed.. the US "strategic ambiguity" policy towards Taiwan is eroding as a recent major test against it was Nancy Pelosi's visit
joshbaptiste··on Transistors are civilization’s invisible infrastructure
Indeed.. just completed "Chip War" by Chris Miller which delves into the history and the Geopolitics of this wonderful invention. After WWII Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea owe their prosperities to the transistor.
joshbaptiste··on TSMC founder Morris Chang says globalization and free trade 'almost dead'
yup without the US trade route protection formalized during Bretton Woods, modern trade could not happen as snoothly as it has and the US is slowly backing out of that position
joshbaptiste··on Ask HN: Why is Lex Fridman so successful with his “tech” podcasts?
I like Lex, he exudes this sense of genuine curiosity on the subject matter at hand, from tough issues as "what is consciousness" to different fighting styles. He allows the speaker to articulate their thoughts and expounds on keywords that may confuse the general audience.
joshbaptiste··on FireZone – Open-source VPN server and firewall
aaaaaand Netbird ..
joshbaptiste··on PBS SpaceTime
