Test. Ignore.

Sorry lots of releases the last couple of weeks. Can't forget the amazing Godot just released 4.1 stable. This game engine is GOOD TO GO for your next game. Check it out:

Godot Engine

Godot 4.1 is here, smoother, more reliable, and with plenty of new features – Godot Engine

Four months after the release of Godot 4.0, we are excited to bring you Godot 4.1 — an update with a focus on stability, performance, and polish.

#Bevy just came out with a new release, 0.11, for those #rustaceans keeping track and wanting to try out this promising but heavily in-development game engine. Read details here:

Trailer for an old student project I made over a decade ago using all open source software including #Blender, #Krita, #Inkscape, and #Kdenlive. This was before freestyle line rendering was merged into the main program, and the dev, TK, was fixing bugs I was reporting. Super nice dude. (note: freestyle only used in a few parts)

Good times! I'm old.

Communities

nostr.kiwi - communities for everyone

Communities for everyone

So I created a community on nostr.kiwi to test things but I noticed the community only shows up on nostr.kiwi . Should I have created it via satellite.earth instead? Should it matter where the community is created? Link to community:

nostr.kiwi - communities for everyone

Communities for everyone

Attention users or lovers of #blender, #krita, #darktable, #godot, #inkscape, #opentoonz, #olive, #kdenlive, #bevy, #gimp, #lmms, #natron, #enve, etc etc I set up this community so people can share news, art, ideas, etc about free open source art and authoring tools. I'm sure there will be individual communities for many of these softwares but since nostr is new I figured it's nice to start with a wider net. Even in the living term I like the idea of this community as often they will be used together. Hope to see people join or post.

Super bummed about Rick Froberg passing away. As a side note Hot Snakes is one of the few bands to put out an album after a crazy long hiatus, after they got old, and it was as good as any other record. Always liked all his projects. Dude lived with full kreative kontrol.

Nostr is a better architecture than activity pub, but my 2 cents on improvements. It needs to have a user friendly authentication story that accounts for the reality that pkeys will be compromised or lost. Also, i think nips should have an established friendly term that is encouraged to use instead of the nip number for user facing clients.

Does dis work? Testing site. Here's a random photo from my photography archive.
