So about that Refractored Depths Windows port.....

It's still on my mind. I'm considering just porting the game from SFML to SDL because SDL is just simpler and would probably make it easier to port to Windows. Even the Linux version was causing problems for some as the version of SFML it uses was an outdated version that is incompatible with the most recent SFML version, but is still in the Debian repositories for some reason.

Yes, this will be a major undertaking, but I'm out of options other than to abandon the idea and just have the thing remain a Linux exclusive that is even hard to run on most Linux distros that aren't based on Debian.

Dear FOSS Community 👋,

I’m researching Open Source funds and support programs that directly pay FOSS maintainers or contributors (not just offering mentorship), similar to the Fellowship program by @sovtechfund

I’m especially looking for programs that:
- are aimed at FOSS maintainers or contributors (not only students),
- focus on paid support and
- offer funding for at least 3 months.

If you know of any funds, organizations, or initiatives like this, please comment (or boost). Thanks :)

The UK just gets worse and worse...

Starmer wants to make pubs liable for any discriminatory speech anyone in the pub says, on the basis that it might "harm" staff.

So the pub owner now has to kick out anyone saying anything even remotely political or the staff might snitch and shake him down for a few thousand pounds.

The United Nations is not only an advocate of digital IDs for their own employees—the organization is one of the most vocal proponents for digital ID programs in nations around the world.

It's not like they even cared about 100% FOSS anyway. Last time I checked (which was over a decade ago, but still) they allowed source-available content (including Lua scripts) on their forums.
