Hot take: the code quality argument against LLM usage in open-source software runs counter to the activism around healthy OSS maintainership.

Last month, I left my cozy job at Angry Bytes after a 15y tenure. 😱
This month I went back into startup mode and joined openeducation.foundation (and neon.nl) working on educational software.

And then you're still at the whim of what your display does apparently. …
Finished Dungeons of Hinterberg in ~25h and had a lot of fun. Can recommend!
Felt very polished for its size and coming from an indie dev. Loved that they chose an Austrian Alps setting in comic book style.

I made a 0.2 release of my #Moonlight game streaming client for #RaspberryPi 5 that properly uses the hardware video overlay.

But man, figuring out the DRM, libgbm, EGL interactions …
I made a custom #Moonlight / Sunshine game streaming client for my TV w/ #RaspberryPi 5: https://codeberg.org/kosinus/beastie
This was a long trip, but man am I glad it all came together in the end and I was able to iron out all of my issu…
I almost gave up on a side project over a single missing `unref()`. Talking _months_ of spare time. 😱
