Now witness the firepower of this fully Arm'ed(aarch64) and operational mobile Star Forge.

Capable of in motion block production or parking self contained for months forging blocks in a VPN through the high performance Starlink panel.

#Cardano

This Thursday we have two great guests lined up or just stop by to banter!
Join us to hear from @theroberm to learn more about @alwaystrueio & @EricWaisanen for updates on @Cardano_Prime from @alphagrowth1!
x.com/i/spaces/1evBX…

One more hour to reply to emails, throw a few AI prompts & grab your coffee! Join us on @coc_space!

We'll talk to @theroberm, founder of @alwaystrueio to talk about the DevX project. Then @EricWaisanen will share @Cardano_Prime updates & take questions.

Probably nothing.

Beautiful green duck 🦆😍

I'm obviously aware of the proposed 2027 budget process and @pragma_org's potential role as the Developer Support domain steward. Here's my thoughts, not as the chair, just as a member of the board.

PRAGMA was asked to consider the role. We weren’t eager to jump into it. It and time away from our businesses. Most of us on the Board or General Assembly are C-level execs and this kind of work is in our wheelhouse. We were open to seeing how the community received the proposal and how the role would take shape. Having the expertise to do the work doesn’t answer what responsibilities and risks would come with it.

The proposal mentions a code of conduct and safeguards but the details of those protections and the responsibilities attached to the role are not clear enough for my taste. I see a lot of potential liability.

I dont find enough community support and that makes me wonder if we can take parts from it that we do like. Personally I Iike having a defined window each quarter for new proposal submissions. What did you like about it?

For now I think PRAGMA should continue supporting open source. We'll see how the community receives this discussion and happy to participate.

*This is my perspective, not an announcement of a Board decision. I’d welcome discussion, particularly on how these concerns will be addressed.

An agent built to argue one side hired another agent to write its brief. Two bonded jobs, one inside the other: 8 transactions, 67 seconds, Vector mainnet.

A job can hire a job. Agent work composes.

Deployed.

Asahi Linux, which works to enable support for Apple Silicon Macs on Linux, is dropping the MIT license… and moving to the GNU GPL.

Why? Because, according to their statement, of “bad faith actors” who “exploit” open source code by… using it in other open source code.

“We iple attempts to exploit our permissive licensing to hijack our work, with a direct view to replacing the project and aggressively monetising Linux on Apple Silicon.”

This licensing change (MIT to GPL) is happening immediately following Omarchy adding support for Apple Silicon, building upon the Asahi work with the usage of LLMs.

And Asahi does not approve of AI usage. At all.

“We broadly forbid the use of generative Al,” says the Asahi AI policy. “A contributor using an LLM … may be issued with a first and final warning. A contributor found to have concealed extensive LLM use will be banned immediately.”

Dingo makes blocks on Cardano and Apex Fusion. It's lightweight and configurable, powerful, and portable.

✅ Preview
✅ Preprod
✅ Musashi
✅ Dijkstra
✅ Mainnet

Dingo is not only a block producer. Enable API mode and get Blockfrost, Kupo, Mesh/Rosetta, and UTxO RPC APIs.

Remember the early Project Catalyst days? Town halls, conversations, new friendships, and unexpected collaborations.

At Open Spaces we asked: where do newcomers find those connections today?

Creating spaces for people to meet and learn together still matters.

Dingo development happens around the clock, which drives a huge amount of automated testing workflows.

In November so far, we have spent nearly 85000 minutes testing in over 5000 separate job runs! 🤯

Follow along at github.com/blinklabs-io/d… as we cook.

Our code is released under permissive open source licenses because we want you to use it. We chose Apache 2.0 (and sometimes MIT) for this reason.

Build on Blink Labs software.

James made a useful observation at Open Spaces: GitHub comments aren't just for people.

AI agents can also read proposal discussions, summarize feedback, and help contributors navigate our governance process.

Another reason to keep the conversation in the open.
