Today (well yesterday technically) is Bevy's fifth birthday! As always, I've used this as a chance to reflect on the past year and outline my hopes and dreams for the next year of #bevy:

Bevy's Fifth Birthday

Bevy is a refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust. It is free and open-source forever!

For fun I wanted to try coming up with my idea for a postmarketOS mascot.
(this is totally unofficial btw! I hope folks from @postmarketOS dont mind.)

I made the initial sketch in Krita, but then decided to finally give Inkscape a try, took me whole weekend but it's here!

Robot bnuuy.

Also shout out to @RannyBergamotte who came up with the cute little stick arm version of pmOS logo, I had to include it! 💚

@mcc right, like, it's not that it's unreasonable, it's that it guides the discussion in certain ways... we would prefer to push back against the idea that people contributing the commons owe anything to corporations pillaging it, on our own rhetorical terrain and not on the terrain of capital.

@Pinchy63 @angiebaby they’re a money spinner. All profits from their estate (land (which they cannot sell), events, commemorative stuff) go to the government, and then the treasury pays 25% of that back to the crown (dropping to 12% in 2027). Which the crown then uses to pay staff and do maintenance.

Broad strokes, what they bring in is measured in billions, what they take out is measured in millions.

The other concern people tend to have is their political power; they can technically refuse royal assent of a new law but they never do that (last refused in 1708). Instead they make suggestions before it is voted on, and hope for changes. This is normally called “lobbying” and is an option available to all rich people, with or without a crown.

Royal finances: Where does the King get his money?

The government has confirmed how much money the Royal Family will receive from taxpayers.
