Good to see that @Mastodon has hit pause on the new ToS and are going to revisit the offending clauses.

@Gargron Also, I saw your note on the Github issue about using pro-bono counsel. If you'd like me to ask EFF's lawyers about helping Mastodon come up with fair and user-rights-preserving ToS, please email me at cory@eff.org

180 GHz amplifer design with open source tools? Check out my interview with Shafin here:
Join me and Pat Deegan, today on the Open Source Silicon Stream!
Starts in ~45 minutes at 08:00 PT / 17:00 CEST / 20:30 IST
I'll cover the latest news and then we'll get a SpASICs update on our plan to put Tiny Tapeout TT06 chips into space!
60,000:1 CMOS inverter scale model - now with magnets!

We have a new home for community discussion around Yosys!
https://yosyshq.discourse.group/
Join us there for questions, support and discussion about our open source EDA tools.
We're back after a 3 week pause! Join me today at 17:00 CEST for the next installment of the open source silicon stream.
After catching up on the news we'll take a look at the Renaldas Zioma's Z80 and try to run some programs.
@f4grx sure, we even have a uLinux one! https://tinytapeout.com/runs/tt06/tt_um_kianV_rv32ima_uLinux_SoC
@f4grx not yet, but it's in progress. Unlikely to be cheap either. Needs a crowdfunder to sell ~10000 chips up front to get the costs down
@JensRestemeier I think Rej is working on that. It's now 15k$ for 100 chips.

This is the moment Rej's open source Z80 woke up and said hello!
After Zilog’s April 2024 announcement, ReJ quickly taped out a drop-in replacement to preserve retrocomputing and legacy systems.
Taped out on TT07, it's a landmark in democratizing chip design.
🚀 We recently sat down with Tibor Herman to talk about HUNITY, the satellite that’s taking our chips to space.
We dug into past missions, how HUNITY communicates and maneuvers in orbit—and even got a live demo from Pat Deegan showing the test framework that’ll run your code.

Tiny Tapeout news!
IHP25b - our 4th open source chip with
IHP is now open for digital design submissions!
We’re very happy to have our next shuttle open and we’re already looking forward to seeing another great set of designs manufactured onto custom silicon!
Streaming on open source silicon in 3 hours!
I'll be looking at the results of the #TinyTapeout survey, and picking a winner for the wafer prize.
Then Pat Deegan will be joining me to talk about putting our ASICs in Space!
