This is a #diy#RaspberryPi #pico #openhardware #opensource device I created for making your own #pc #gaming controllers. You can place buttons, joysticks, potentiometers, and rotary encoders onto a grid, and then assign them gamepad or keyboard functions. It was designed for starship bridge simulation games (e.g. EmptyEpsilon, Space Nerds in Space) to create custom controls, but it is a general joystick/gamepad substitute.

@matrix has gone from $0 to $561K in recurring revenue in just 2 years. But our expenses run $1.2M/yr.

We've burned through reserves and are at a crossroads.

It's the classic FOSS funding problem: use and adoption are at an all-time high, wealthy companies and countries use it, and secure decentralized comms have never been more important. And yet we can't pay our bills.

YOU have a role to play in shaping what comes next: https://matrix.org/blog/2025/02/crossroads/

Friends, for something to be open source, we need to see

1. The data it was trained and evaluated on

2. The code

3. The model architecture

4. The model weights.

DeepSeek only gives 3, 4. And I'll see the day that anyone gives us #1 without being forced to do so, because all of them are stealing data.

@timnitGebru thank you for sharing.

Quick question have you seen this initiative "European Open-Source AI index"?

https://www.osai-index.eu

By @dingemansemark & @andreasliesenfeld from @Radboud_uni

Looks good to me, to help people determine how open an AI model actually is. Are you aware of other initiatives like this?

I'd like to gather these initiatives and share it with @publicspaces so more people learn what to look for to determine if an AI is truly opensource.

Does anyone have any info on the estimated collective investments on Fediverse technology currently?

The definition for Fediverse in this case may include Threads & Bluesky & possible others.

Any papers, hints, links etc are very welcome. Feel free to boost & share this question
