MicroPython v1.25.0 Released with ROMFS, RISC-V Assembler, and Expanded Board Support

One of the most notable additions is ROMFS, a read-only, memory-mappable, extensible file system that enables direct execution of bytecode from flash memory. This allows for faster imports and reduced RAM usage, especially useful for constrained embedded environments. While ROMFS is currently available only on select boards, such as PYBD-SFx and STM32-based Arduino boards, it can be manually enabled for others.

Updated This Past Day

  1. Microsoft's Bing Falls to Fourth in the Europe/Asia-Based Turkey, Share Halved Since LLM Hype, Now Only 1% (Sometimes Less)
    Turkey (Eurasia) is another example of Microsoft failing with LLM hype and just burning a lot of energy in vain (investment without returns)
  2. Censorship as Signal of Opportunity for Reform
    It remains sad and ironic that Wikileaks outsourced so much of its official communications to Twitter (now X)
  3. Comoros: Windows Plunges to Record Low of About 6% in Country of a Million People (in 2010 Windows Was 100%)
    Many of these people earn a few dollars a day; they don't care for Microsoft's "Hey Hi PC" hype
  4. The Mail (MX) Server Survey for July 2024 Shows Microsoft Collapsing to Only 689 Servers or 0.17% of the Whole (It Used to be About 25%)
    Microsoft became so insignificant and the most astounding thing is how the media deliberate ignores it or refuses to cover it
  5. Windows Down From 98.5% to 22.9% in Hungary
    Android is up because more people buy smaller mobile devices than laptops
  6. Microsoft Windows in Algeria: From 100% to Less Than 15%
    Notice that not too long ago Windows was measured at 100%. Now? Not even 15%.

    New

  7. Fedora Week of Diversity (FWD) 2024 Attracting 0.01% of the IBM Staff "Was a Success"
    They expect volunteers (unpaid slaves) to do the PR for them...
  8. African's Largest Population (Nigeria) Approaching 80% Android "Market Share" Amid Steady Monthly Increases While Microsoft Has Mass Layoffs in Nigeria
    Microsoft- and Apple-sponsored Western (or English-speaking) media chooses to ignore that or treat it as irrelevant (a racist disposition in its own right)
  9. [Meme] The Warlord's Catspaw
    Thugs that troll us
  10. Microsoft Misogyny Will be the Fall of Microsoft (Covering Up for Misogynists is a Huge Mistake and Highly Misguided Short-term Strategy)
    Microsoft's undoing may in fact be its attitude towards women
  11. Red Hat Keeps Behaving Like a Microsoft Reseller (for Proprietary Stuff!), Microsoft Employees as Authors in redhat.com
    In some ways this reminds us of Novell
  12. UEFI 'Secure Boot' Once Again Bricking PCs and Fake Security Models Are Perishing in Geminispace
    Let's Encrypt has just fallen again
  13. Links 17/07/2024: New Attacks on the Press, European Patents Squashed Even at Kangaroo Court (UPC)
    Links for the day
  14. Gemini Links 17/07/2024: Proponents of Censorship and New Arrivals at Gemini
    Links for the day
  15. Links 17/07/2024: School Budget Meltdown and Modern Cars as Tracking Nightmares
    Links for the day
  16. This Should Certainly be Illegal, But the Person Who Helped Microsoft Do This is Still Attacking the Critics of It
    perhaps time for an "I told you so post"
  17. [Meme] A Computer With an Extra Key on the Keyboard Isn't Everyone's Priority
    (so your telling me meme)
  18. Africa as an Important Reminder That Eradicating Microsoft Doesn't Go Far Enough
    Ideally, if our top goal is bigger than "get rid of Microsoft", we need to teach people to choose and use devices that obey them, not GAFAM
  19. Billions of Computers Run Linux and Many Use Debian (or a Derivative of It)
    many devices never get updated or even communicate with the Net, so exhaustive tallies are infeasible
  20. [Meme] Microsoft is Firing
    Don't worry, Microsoft will have some new vapourware coming soon
  21. More DEI (or Similar) Layoffs on the Way, According to Microsoft Team Leader
    What happened shortly before Independence Day wasn't the end of it, apparently
  22. [Meme] Many Volunteers Now Realise the "Open" in "OpenSUSE" or "openSUSE" Was Labour-Mining
    Back to coding, packaging and testing, slaves
  23. Over at Tux Machines...
    GNU/Linux news for the past day
  24. IRC Proceedings: Tuesday, July 16, 2024
    IRC logs for Tuesday, July 16, 2024
  25. Microsoft Windows "Market Share" in New Zealand Plunges to 25%
    Android rising
  26. [Meme] Ein Factory
    A choice between "masters" (or "master race") is a false choice that results in mass exploitation and ultimately eradication (when there's little left to exploit)
  27. Links 17/07/2024: Open Source Initiative Lies and Dark Net Thoughts
    Links for the day
  28. SUSE Goes Aryan: You May Not Use the Germanic Brand Anymore (It's Monopolised by the Corporation)
    Worse than grammar Nazis
  29. Media Distorting Truth to Promote Ignorance
    online media is rapidly collapsing

    The corresponding text-only bulletin for Wednesday contains all the text.
