If you are home on Matrix, join our PantherX group at #public:pantherx.org

If you have a SEEED reTerminal (Raspberry Compute Module 4) you can now run a preview of PantherX on your device. Display, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi work as expected. Checkout our Wiki for more information: https://wiki.pantherx.org/SEEED-reTerminal/

When we assume the speed of our current interfaces like keyboards, microphones and displays as 1x, how much faster will we be able to realize complex projects, when our brain interfaces with the computer directly (excluding potentially improved memory, processing speed etc.)? Like an engineer designing an engine, or a programmer, developing an application.

Another year, another update: We are getting close

When you’re working on something you enjoy, hours become days, days become weeks and before you realize it, an entire year has passed, and all that you’ve got to show is … well, that’s the big question, isn’t it?

It's now possible to build Raspberry Pi 4 images on PantherX.

We will be publishing images soonish. If you cannot wait, checkout the announcement and link to repo on our forum: https://community.pantherx.org/t/pantherx-on-raspberry-pi-4/87 Enjoy the weekend! 😁

Any Qt/GStreamer/Android wizards here? We've been stuck on a compilation issue for some time. Suggestions are more than welcome: https://ramajd.github.io/2022-04-19-qt-bindings-of-gstreamer-on-android-(failed-experience).html

PantherX Beta 6 is fresh out of the oven https://community.pantherx.org/t/pantherx-beta-6/86.

- ...

Stay tuned 👍

You can now search for PantherX OS packages online: https://www.pantherx.org/packages/

If you're interested in the Twisted networking protocol, this is by far the best introduction: https://krondo.com/an-introduction-to-asynchronous-programming-and-twisted/. You won't even notice that this was written 13! years ago.

A quick search on Google reveals that there's approx. 2,195 commercial bank branches / 100,000 people. Let's just assume, that there's an equal amount of ATM machines.

I wonder what the collective energy usage of millions of bank branches and ATM's, and keeping those ATM's stocked with money, add up to?

Not to talk about the brainpower wasted on misleading customers, manipulation of markets and lobbying politicians to keep their eyes closed...

How does that compare with "crypto"?

Do you see any screen tearing / flickering on the latest Linux kernel 5.15.*, on any distribution? You can check your version with `uname -a`. Just curious how many % are affected.
