It's a Open Source 90s Pixelart Science-Fiction Real Time Strategy game with Multiplayer (LAN and internet) support, competent skirmish AI as well as an integrated map editor. The code is licensed using GPLv3.0 for the code and Creative Commons Attribution_ShareAlike v4.0 International for the assets. The game is available on Github; as a Flatpak as well as on Itch.io. The game is made using the OpenRA engine.



Their official site is here:

The project has a presence on Matrix:

I'm pleased to see how Framework handled the issue of a consulting partner getting phished and sharing customer data with an attacker. The emails to customers seems prompt, it explains the situation clearly with transparent timelines, and provides clear and reasonable steps for their partners and their customers.

Windows 10 is going EOL next year so not out of the realm of possibility. Usually it takes more time for programs to drop support though. For instance Steam just stopped supporting Windows 7 this year.

I'm looking for a game engine that I can use to make a simple game for my kids that will run in a RPI4 running #batocera . I looked at #RPGMaker but it doesn't let you do custom code. I looked at #solarus but that seems to need too much code.

I don't want to reinvent the wheel, but I want the freedom to add some custom logic. I would love if I could write it in #clojure or some other type of #lisp.

I'm trying to make a game with
@solarus but the editor segfaults on #nixos ? Any help from anyone.

Open Collective and Liberapay are both FOSS platforms. Open Collective allows for one time donations as well as recurring. It also has transparency so your donors know how their money is being spent. Both allow for Paypal and Stripe to be used. Liberapay is just for recurring donations.

Good morning. I want to try my hand at game development. I think I have a good idea, but I need funding. Is there any platforms like kickstarter that are more #FOSS friendly?

#Fedilab 3.27-beta-1 has been published on our #FDroid repo (for beta testers).

This release should fix crashes with `TransactionTooLargeException`

These crashes happened randomly while using the app (opening a profile, taping the reply button, etc.)

To get this release, you must allow unstable updates on your FDroid app.

I've been doing more research on email servers and email hosting.

It would be great to talk with a Sys Admin who handles email for multiple domains and clients.

I am working with a company who has been doing web design and hosting for their web design clients since the '90s.

They hosted their email starting way back when and have been using the same email server pretty much ever since. It needs to be replaced soon.

The question is what to replace it with.

Host our own? And all the complications that come with that.

Manage the email but host somewhere else with a company that specializes in email? Such as MXroute:

https://mxroute.com

Host our own email IMAP accounts, but use a separate service for sending mail so we don't have to worry about deliver-ability?

Let me know if you have experience with a similar situation.

One of the few jobs in the world you can be wrong at 80% of the time and not get fired.

Good news to break the mess of the past day: Work on federating #Forgejo is ongoing. We are now one step closer to federated stars: codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/p

Federation is a key to resilient networks. We are looking forward to it.

Good to know i'll be able to get an OS I actually like on a Fairphone 5. Next step is to be able to actually buy one in Canada.

Uhh, now what kind of device could be running mobian there??? 😉

Is this @fairphone really a #FairPhone5 ?!

I always favor the side of privacy regardless of the cost. People are going to abuse children regardless but that doesn't mean we all have to give up our privacy to save the children which is where these arguments usually head to. You can apply this to encryption; crypto; and most anything else.
