After some late night inspiration I think I have the starting roster for my Godot-based open source fighting game. Should be able to make it myself & pay artists for Creative Commons base assets. Early character reveal as a teaser: Duelist Lincoln i.e. young Abe with a broadsword

#self-hosting

Interesting. I found this free open source dynamic DNS service.

@normandc I can also recommend desec.io; open source, reliable and non-profit

This is pretty huge https://www.gnome.org/news/2020/05/patent-case-against-gnome-resolved/ and it shows how idiotic and counter-productive for humanity software patents are. (there's lots more info still to emerge) Thank goodness for this outcome, as the alternative would've been full-dystopia.

@matrixdotorg@twitter.com @automattic@twitter.com @WordPress@twitter.com @NewVectorHQ@twitter.com This makes me really, really happy. The possibilites are so vast! I'm imagining a matrix-powered tumblr and also wordpress comments! But I'm sure there's a place for e-commerce in there too. Woohoo!!! 🎉🎉🎉🚀🚀🚀

Accessing BIOS/GRUB settings has to be the worst UX ever. Is it F1,2,3,7 or 11? Do I tap or hold? Do I start yet? Can I release? Always takes me 20 attempts

Does anybody know of a privacy-focused alternative to Mailchimp? I've got a mailing list I'd like to setup, but just want to send email, I don't want to subject recipients to location tracking, "predicted demographics", and all that garbage.

Okay, so I just pulled the trigger on a #Pinephone #UBports Community Edition. 😎

I know that camera support won't be fully functional in #UbuntuTouch when I get it, I'm hoping it won't take too many months to implement.

Did you know? The #BlenderBIM Add-on can now be used to export IFC data in IFCJSON format - perhaps the only BIM program which can do so.

It only took 100 lines of Python code. Join the #OSArch community and don't let proprietary software hold you back!
