Fortunately some developers stepped up to fork the Simple apps under the name Fossify;
So we can still have that simple, pleasant app experience we know and love, with regular updates via F-Droid or our app manager of choice.
This is a textbook example of how Free Code licenses, which enshrine the software freedoms of the people who use software, can protect us from enshittification.

#GameDev #FreeCode #Godot #CSharp If anyone wants to play with this, the code is here:
https://github.com/IanBadcoe/SubD_Test
(to be precise, that is the test project which has the real repo as a sub-module)
Semi-polished and moderately tested, there are some awkward corners...
The features are:
- build-control-mesh from cubes (lame)
- build-control-mesh from "cylinders" (prisms)
-- radius, roll, pitch, yaw for each section
-- set edges/verts sharp, or tag them for later retrieval
-- add holes, set their edges sharp or tag them
- normals for all polys/edges/faces
Omissions:
- no UVs yet
- there is a ton of Linq used, it works for me in editor, but may give GC stalls if used a lot in game...
Further work:
- I want to add a feature beyond "holes" where I can turn a hole into a "socket" into which another surface could be plugged, producing side-branches...
- if performance is a problem, rewrite in C++...
Talk to me if you need anything. I do bite, but I am (on average) a long, long way away from you

They are published some code here but I can't tell at a glance if it's the full app code or not;
If not, it may be like Loops; developing behind close doors until it's relatively stable, or until they get time to tidy up their full code for publication? But I definitely won't be using it until it's available in F-Droid.
Muito bacana ver o poder do software livre e do código aberto sendo reconhecido. E quando isso ocorre em uma cerimônia internacional com o do Oscar então, melhor ainda. Flow, o longa ganhador da categoria de Melhor Animação, não possui diálogos e foi inteiramente produzido com o software livre Blender.

A hora de convocar a tribo do #softwarelivre, por Luís Nassif
"Seria interessante reviver um movimento fantástico da primeira década do século, do qual o Brasil foi um dos líderes: o movimento do software livre."
Good on the German authorities who set up the Sovereign Tech Fund. To help fund the maintenance of core software that most people have never heard, but depend on every day. I want to see every government in the world setting up a similar fund, and having them coordinate their efforts.

"Decentralized communication protocol Matrix shifts to less-permissive AGPL open source license."
"AGPLv3 is a recognized open source license, even though not everyone is a fan of its inherent restrictions."

Yeah, we get it Paul. Having to help with the dishes after you eat your free lunch is "restrictive". It's more "permissive" to let people waltz in, eat their fill, and bugger off, without being expected to help out

"This novel camera system will open new avenues of research for scientists and allow filmmakers to produce dynamic, accurate depictions of how animals see the world around them, the authors say. The system is built from commercially available cameras, housed in a modular, 3D-printed casing, and the software is available open-source, allowing other researchers to use and build on the technology in the future."
