I had the chance to speak about our Game Boy development initiatives @gbdev0 with @klintron for @github's "ReadME" magazine! github.com/readme/feature…
CI/CD pipelines may pose a big risk (complexity and vendor lock-in), especially for OSS projects. How do you make sure they remain maintainable and agnostic? #devops #devex avivace.com/posts/agnostic…
Turns out the sketchy, ad-filled, knock-off, "iGBA" emulator now on @Apple App Store by "Mattia La Spina" is hugging to death @gbdev0 Homebrew Hub. Of course he never got in contact to at least ask or check API usage terms. This is why we can't have nice things
Opinion: What to ask in job interviews? avivace.com/blog/job-quest…
See you in Bruxelles!
It's official! Our @issotm and @city_sylvie (maintainers of RGBDS) will be giving a talk at @fosdem 2025 in Bruxelles! fosdem.org/2025/schedule/… Mark your calendars!
💡 Come assicurarsi che nessuno si interessi ai tuoi dati aperti. La guida "al contrario" sugli open-data, tradotta da @Mcx83 e @avivace4 che fa sorridere, ma che soprattutto ti fa capire. ondata.github.io/dati-aperti-no…
We're very thrilled to announce that after almost a year of development, improvements and fine-tuning, we re-released and brought back to life the classic #GameBoyAdvance development tutorial, TONC. Read it now at gbadev.net/tonc !
Here's a brief paper in which me and @jeanyvesCERN summarized what we've been working on for the last 3 years: investigating how to build a #digitalpreservation platform pulling data from different kind of systems and repositories at @CERN! cds.cern.ch/record/2857550
Wait is over, the #gbcompo23 is here. Join us for another edition of the legendary #GameBoy Competition: create an original game, music cartridge, tool or demoscene ROM for the Game Boy and compete for glory (and a growing prize pool of already $4000). itch.io/jam/gbcompo23

It's 2022 and we finally have solid and accessible fiscal tools to make Open Source happen in a sustainable way, thanks to @piamancini @opencollect @OpenSourceColl !
After the great success of the #gbajam21, we are proud to announce another #gamedev competition! Starting August 1, you'll have 3 months to squeeze the GBA hardware and create a new game for it! Prize pool is already $ 700 and growing! Join here! itch.io/jam/gbajam22
RGBDS, the toolchain to write #GameBoy homebrews, turns 25 in 2022 🎂To celebrate, @issotm and @avivace4 worked on a revamped version of the website, now powered by @docusaurus and directly rendering the man pages. Check it out! rgbds.gbdev.io
“The research found that girls often did not feel “clever enough” to do physics, even though girls achieve similar grades to boys.” You 👏 are 👏 clever 👏 enough + physics is creative, fascinating and needs people skills too (try building a collaboration without them!)
👍👍👍👏👏👏. There are reasons girls don't study physics – and they don't include not liking maths theconversation.com/there-are-reas…
The @CERN @ATLASexperiment "Particles of the Universe" colouring book is now available in Italian at atlas.cern/resources/colo… (featuring some gorgeous illustrations by @marianadv___ !)
Imagine if universities formed a consortium to pay open source projects like Jitsi to develop and maintain software instead of pouring gobs of money down the drain for licenses for products ruled by overlords that can censor as they please.
Zoom shuts down an NYU academic event on zoom censorship. Facebook asks NYU researchers to stop doing research on political ads. NYU’s response will be interesting to see how even powerful universities can struggle to maintain institutional autonomy vis a vis tech companies.
Domenica 18 a @festpartecipa parleremo (online) di #CivicHacking a servizio della collettività. Con noi @ErikaMarconato @dagoneye @aborruso @marievafavoino @avivace4 @albertopi @ActionAidHellas @Code4Romania @frenalacurva @ondatait @CSVnetLombardia @ArciNazionale @Italianonprofit
