    A crime?! Please people I don't even know what happened here but removing some bitmap support is a crime now for a maintainer of an open source piece of code? You are not happy wit…

    A trusted website that compiles it from source and a way for you to go to a webpage and flash from there automatically. The FPV community does that all the time with a set of websi…

    You don't want to add untrusted binary download sources in your Linux system. Your distrib is already doing that. This is not strictly about "downloads from the internet" of course…

    Show HN: Robotics runtime in the browser (flight controller, WebAssembly)

    I built a small demo showing a robotics runtime executing entirely inside the browser via WebAssembly. The example workload is a simple flight controller hooked up to a small world…
