A great sign that @openbrushapp v2 is nearly here is that recent pull requests are mainly tidy-ups and small UX changes 🥳

Not long to wait now! 👀

Project North Star With Bryan Chris Brown | The FOSS Pod

We've often said that open source is for more than just software, and on this episode Project North Star's Bryan Chris Brown is here to prove it with a freely available, modifiable design for an augmented reality headset you can build yourself. Join us for a discussion about topics like the ins and outs of open hardware design, sourcing parts from unlikely places, printing lenses out of resin, doing architecture work in the Unreal Engine, how standards like OpenXR fit into the picture, and a whole lot more. The FOSS Pod is brought to you by Google Open Source. Find out more at https://opensource.google

Orion Approaches Moon

On Nov. 20, the fifth day of the 25.5-day Artemis I mission, a camera mounted on the tip of one of Orion’s solar array wings captured this footage of the spacecraft and the Moon as it continued to grow nearer to our lunar neighbor.

EDIT: DO NOT BOOST!

This post is nearly a year old, and boosting will simply spread misinformation. Mastodon now has substantially more funding, and has enough scale to handle its many users.

I would delete this post but my server is not letting me so I'm editing this to reflect that I wish for you to NOT BOOST!

Right now Mastodon is only receiving appr. $21,000/month through Patreon.

This is not enough to handle the 1 million new accounts that will be made this week.

Currently, only 4,720 patrons are donating to Mastodon.

However, if everyone chips in $2/month, this will ensure the continued survival of Mastodon!

@planettimmy @drashvr federation is on by default, but you can check the /about page of any server, there is a list of ‘moderated servers’ which it limits or blocks. Somewhat harder to do the reverse!
