I received a bug report about picolibc's iconv implementation. So I added a test case. Which pushed the CI runtime up over *six hours* at which point github gave up and killed it.
I spent a bit of time yesterday and today re-implementing the JIS to Unicode conversion function to make it faster. Lines changed: 5125 additions & 7495 deletions. Runtime is back to normal now. And I have a deeper understanding of these encodings.

Seriously, if you were on Insta in the good, pre-Zuckerberg days, get on Pixelfed now.
You'll love it.
And, in the sea of absolute shite we're drowning in, it's a moment clinging to a sturdy tree trunk.

Heineman shared the message last night that her health was rapidly declining.
"It's time. According to my doctors. All further treatments are pointless," Heineman wrote.
"So, please donate so my kids can create a funeral worthy of my keyboard, Pixelbreaker! So I can make a worthy entrance for reuniting with my one true love, Jennell Jaquays."
Game developers have begun sharing their own condolences and remembrances in the wake of Heineman's death

Listening to the #EuroSkyLive introduction talks - still haven‘t figured out, why start building #EuroSky in the first place? The Fediverse is already there, has been working and around for years: Pixelfed, Loops, Peertube, Mastodon.
Why start the People’s Front of sovereignty after the Sovereig…

In four hours the webcast #PSLV-C62 - a return to flight for this rocket after a launch failure a while ago - carrying EOS-N1 and 15 co-passenger satellites into Sun Synchronous Orbit from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in India should begin: see https://www.isro.gov.in/media_isro/pdf/PSLVC62/PSLV_C62_Brochure090125.pdf and https://www.isro.gov.in/Mission_PSLV_C62.html for details.

Posted a PR, https://github.com/picolibc/picolibc/pull/1138, to finally delete the original newlib stdio code from picolibc. It's well past time; that code is missing a bunch of functionality and fails a lot of tests.
