🚀🌈 GSoC 2025: Where we celebrate a summer's worth of labor for adding a byte to LLVM IR! 🎉🎓 Because, clearly, the world was just on the edge of chaos without that extra byte type to make #memcpy marginally more efficient. 🙄🔧

🎉 The winter is coming to an end in the Northern Hemisphere, and we are getting geared up to participate in this year's Google's Summer of Code program (thanks as always to @INCF for taking us under their umbrella). If you are interested in contributing (either full- or part-time) to the Brian simulator over the summer – and getting paid for it –, this might be for you!

A short thread with our 3 project proposals below 👇
#GSoC (Google Summer of Code) becomes more and more useless.
This year they're asking specifically for "Security and AI/ML", which leaves most open source projects out of scope.
Liebe #techis und #scriptis Was haltet ihr vom #summerofcode ?
Four #OpenStreetMap projects are taking part in Google's Summer of Code this year. 🙂

Starting to see students interested in the Google Summer of Code for #GIMP - wonderful!
You will need to be able to compile GIMP yourself (or build the Web site for that project), to have submitted patches, to have communicated with us on IRC.
It’s about communication as well as about doing.
We are happy to announce that we are yet another time participating in Google's Summer of Code program (thanks to @INCF). If you are interested in contributing (either full- or part-time) to the Brian simulator over the summer – and getting paid for it –, this might be for you!

A short thread with our project proposals below 👇
#Gentoo has not been accepted to participate in #Google #SummerOfCode this year. Apparently, they prefer to give away their money on awful "#AI" (#LLM) projects that waste megawatts of energy to propel #enshittification of Internet, rather than the old good Gentoo that they keep exploiting and that wastes energy primarily on doing hobby stuff, that make Internet a better place.
W tym roku, #Gentoo nie zostało zaakceptowane do #Google #SummerOfCode. Wygląda na to, że wolą rozdawać pieniądze na projekty #AI (#LLM), które marnują megawaty energii na #obsranie Internetu, niż na stare, dobre Gentoo, które ciągle wyzyskują, i które marnuje energię głównie na hobby, dzięki którym Internet jest fajniejszy.
We will be participating in the Google #SummerOfCode again this year! Come work with us!

Read the final report from one of this year's #GSoC contributors for #SugarLabs, Mohit Gupta! In it, he details his work to implement full-screen and record features, improve how Music Blocks (v3) works on mobile and touchscreen devices, and fix a variety of very pesky bugs!
Read about his progress and how he found solutions to each problem: https://musicblocks.net/2023/10/04/maintenance-bug-fixes-for-music-blocks-3/ #MusicBlocks #MusicPlusCode #FixingBugs #Learning #Fun #SummerOfCode
Thanks to this year's #Google #SummerOfCode (#GSoC), a student developer took the initiative in working on an automated #Gentoo #Linux system updater to help begineers and ease the roll-out of security updates to users. The default behavior with gentoo_update is to only deploy security updates from the Gentoo Linux Security Advisories (GLSA) by default. Alternatively the #gentoo_update utility can also keep all system packages up-to-date. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Automated-Gentoo-Updates better than cron'ing emerge!
Yesterday, and the day before, was extremely productive. Today I’ve taken some time off to recharge, which is so important. Even took a nap in the afternoon 😴
Tomorrow is Friday, aka release day, which will see releases of at least adventure, Mg (mg2a), and possibly also In-a-Dyn.
