Should be a rule that when this happens and these companies fold that everything is open sourced - at least we'd all get something out of it.

It looks like between Linux and NetBSD on the Wii there's quite a bit of work in those areas.

Nice!

Are there one or two instructions that aren't available ?

I guess it might be possible to trap and emulate those?

Great work and writeup.

I wonder if the YUV conversion could be offloaded somehow to the ARM inside the Hollywood or somehow using a shader (or equivalent) if the graphics were accelerated - though maybe this is way way too much.

New comment by stuaxo in "Does coding with LLMs mean more microservices?"

Microservices are great if you are Amazon and want to have many more surfaces for billing.

They may be useful for you, on the other hand atomising things brings overhead and maintenance burden and is often not worth it

And yet - when I go my GP they enter and lookup data on the computer there which is linked to national system.

Can we get an MP to ask about this?

The rate of increase is an interesting one to choose, what about some absolute numbers ?

stuaxo — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 00:01:08 +0000

Could totally have FUSE over the chunks and then there is no shell emilation.

Oh that's funny, I just built a RAG and exposing the files inside the database as files seemed like the next logical steo.

I would have used Fuse if it got to that point as then it is an actual filesystem.

Sorry, but absolutely not.

I stuck with Android for years as a dev as I once did Android apps and occasionally do tinker.

This is my last Android phone and Jolla is my next phone.
