A Metal-powered command-line tool for upscaling video on Mac using Apple’s built-in machine learning frameworks. Nice to see GPU-accelerated video processing made accessible as a simple open-source utility.

via Rust Weekly 🦀 (@rust_discussions@mastodon.social): Linus on Rust in the Linux kernel (December 2023)

Linus Torvalds sits down with Dirk Hohndel for a wide-ranging keynote conversation at the Open Source Summit. Always interesting to hear Linus’s unfiltered thoughts on the state of Linux, development practices, and the open-source ecosystem.

via Jonathan ‘theJPster’ Pallant: I went in ready to be angry based on the headline, but it’s actually a very agreeable piece.

via Boris Mann: Just got off an awesome call with Taz, founder of Guild support.

via yosh: “Empathy in Open Source” by Niko Matsakis — I read it earlier today, and imo it’s really good!

via Alice I. Cecile: I wrote up the #opensource triage-by-controversy + community code review practices that we use for @bevy.

via OpenStreetMap: Do you want to get started mapping into #OpenStreetMap? 🤔 Here’s some guides! 🙂

via Boris Mann: I have literally pages and pages of research about #opensource #wiki so I just sort of assumed there’d be a decent on with #WordPress integration but I guess not! Outline has been on my shortlist previously, and we use a Discourse forum as a wiki at work.

via Miguel de Icaza: I liked this observation on open source bubbles.
