Not yet, although I'm slowly working on an alternative to Fuji's X app

Hacking the firmware in Fuji cameras definitely impressed a few recruiters, and helped me get a position recently.

Honestly it would make more sense to buy an old $300 Canon camera, install Magic Lantern (or CHDK)
Hate to say it, but in my experience open source hardware is always been poor quality, unless it's a single board computer.

I've been using this the past few weeks to try and cross compile my software. Clang works, but a lot of the core libraries are missing. pkgbuild for instance won't work. And even native Cocoa apps I've tried won't work.
That being said, this has a ton of potential. I really wish the devs had more time to work on it.

I sometimes use it to reformat some text or code, or write some very simple boilerplate code. So honestly it only saves me a few minutes a day typically.

The app needs to be reversed engineered and have a 3rd party reimplemention. Even if it's slightly inferior, it's always good to have an alternative.

Magic Lantern definitely needs a lot of help in terms of reverse engineering, build system (we are still depending on python2) and also documentation and wiki stuff.

About a year ago when AI was getting really big, I was really interested in C2PA, since then I've come to the conclusion that actual artists don't care about any of that crap

As a programmer, it ended up being useful for a few things in the beginning, but I don't even use it anymore. Maybe every other week to reformat some text or make some boilerplate code.

Alternative Wifi app to connect to Fujifilm cameras. I mainly wanted to just try and make a MVP to see if it's possible, and now it's grown into something usable.
Re:My personal C coding style as of late 2023

It's pretty much the same types you see in Rust or Zig, and I think Linux even uses some of the same types.

Related: I was hacking Ambarella action cameras a while back: https://github.com/petabyt/liemoth
Eventually I stopped not because of how low quality action cameras were, there were hundreds of different vendors publishing rebranded Chinese cheap cams. And not to mention how crap the firmware is. The whole thing gets hot and the battery only lasts a few minutes.

When you hold down the power button, there is a big red emergency button beside the restart button. I've gotten pretty close to accidentally pressing it.

Re:Bun v1.0.0
on Saturday September 09, 2023 @02:51AM (#37442881)
I tried to compile a hello world template for Zig a few months ago. Pulled it from GitHub, zig build and it gave an error.
The problem? They recently redesigned a major part of the build system and deprecated old functions. No deprecated message, and no backwards compatibility. Just a plain old undefined function error.
That's what I don't like about these modern languages. You have to be in the community and keep up with the latest releases in order to use the language. I just want something that's stable. I don't want to keep relearning everything.

A few weeks ago, I tried to compile a little bit of TS code and was shocked at how long it took. 5 seconds! I can't believe people put up with this. Glad to see there is a solution.

My go-to recommendation for older folks is ChromeOS. Say what you want about their privacy and stuff, but my mom hasn't been able to download any malware, and it's very easy to use and do office stuff on.
