Wasmi 2.0 is released! Wasmi is the #wasm interpreter powering Firefly Zero and is the main component that makes Firefly Zero possible. Robin Freyler, the bird behind wasmi, published a blog post covering the crazy optimizations that made wasmi v2 much faster: wasmi-labs.github.io/blog/posts/w...

Firefly Zero is made without any AI whatsoever. It also has no DRM, no subscription, no ads, no data mining, and no proprietary code. It's not just a technology. It's a manifestation of our principles, a statement that we all must do things differently to build a better world. #NoAI #zuzai #linux

All our games have been moved from Github to #Codeberg: codeberg.org/firefly-zero No love for Microslop 💔 All other code (firmware, system apps) is still on Github. This might change in the future.

All the art for Firefly Zero is created not by AI but by a real artist. Alena is an author of 2 books for kids and a very talented illustrator. She created our logo, mascot, concept art for documentation, and splash screens for all system apps and the majority of games. www.instagram.com/alpo.nl/

Thanks to Nanobot567, we now have an official virtual QWERTY keyboard for #Rust apps: github.com/firefly-zero... It's very ergonomic and it will be integrated in some of the upcoming system apps.

If you want to print a 3D model of the prototypes we had at FOSDEM, we've tagged and compiled the right version: github.com/firefly-zero... The model includes not only the case but also stubs for the components, so you can print a model of the whole thing.
