    CNBC's 15 minute documentary about FOSS. Very well crafted video.

    #ClimateStrike from #Sydney earlier today.

    Is it happening in your city too? Please share!

    @cypherpunk @InvaderXan I went to China and experienced this block. Yes, other instances still federate. If your account is on mastodon.social, you can set up a HTTP proxy, and Tusky supports that.

    I'm releasing a free, #opensource #3d model of a patch of crabgrass! It's basically grass with runners that make it look like a crab.

    https://radiance.thinkmoult.com/html/crabgrass.html

    Having multiple grass species in your model repository is vital to creating realistic looking grassy fields. This grassy patch is special, because it's been defined using #radiance photometrically accurate material definitions.

    Design Futures Council in #australia #sydney have just held a small conference on open source architecture.

    It is clear that people in AEC are frustrated with interoperability, proprietary monopolies, closed data, and unnecessary rework.

    Push #openbim. Push #opensource. Push #ifc. Push #blender. Push #freecad. Push #openstreetmaps. Push #radiance. Push #openfoam. Push #energyplus.

    We can change this.

    So I've just created a new ebuild to install #Gophernicus on #Gentoo #Linux! It's available on the Gentoo bugtracker if anybody is interested in trying out their own gopher server. There is also sgopherd, which is very charming and lightweight too.

    https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685072

    Go and create your own #Gopher server now!

    Happy to announce I have contributed over 75,000 photos to #openstreetcam, that's nearly 1,000km of footage. This is the (one of the) #opensource equivalents of Google Streetview. This was possible thanks to a Waylens dashcam sponsored by Telenav!

    Computer vision and machine learning learns how to recognise street signs and traffic rules from this footage.

    Check it out! https://openstreetcam.org/

    Software is trending in the wrong direction. Decreased transparency, centralisation, and proprietary monopolies.

    In this article I describe the 5 ingredients to ethical software:

    - open data
    - open source
    - distributed deployment
    - decentralised hosting
    - end to end encryption

    https://thinkmoult.com/five-fundamental-facets-of-ethical-software.html

    Let's make software less about profit, and more about people again.

    Here is the first #opensource #3d lamp (it's lighting geek speak for "lightbulb") model available for free under CC-BY-SA.

    It's technically a clear chandelier lamp from a product sold by Ikea that is now discontinued. Given that Ikea doesn't give out IES files for their products, I've substituted it with another el-cheapo omnidirectional 2700K lamp IES by another manufacturer with double the lumen output.

    In other words, it's fake news.

    Hey #git users! If you're jumping from one centralised silo to another, perhaps it's time to embrace the #decentralised nature of git.

    I've recently set up my own Git #LFS server thanks to https://github.com/git-lfs/lfs-test-server - if you are an artist, please consider attempting to host your own LFS server!

    Here's another #opensource free #3d model of a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical USB mouse.

    https://thinkmoult.com/mouse-microsoft-intellimouse-optical-usb-free-3d-model.html

    It comes with full Radiance material and texture definitions that have been calibrated using a Macbeth colour chart, so you can use this model in a light simulation.

    More coming.

    I wrote a quick article on how to export camera flythrough positions from #Enscape to Blender. If you have the misfortune to use Enscape to visualise your #architecture model, you can now export the camera path and visualise it in #Blender instead.

    Did you know there's an #opensource equivalent to Google Street View? It's called #OpenStreetCam, mapping the world's roads with dashcam images, and uses machine learning & computer vision to improve #OpenStreetMaps. It's easy to get started, so check it out and contribute today! All you need is a phone, a car, and a mount.

    https://openstreetcam.org/

    Recently, Telenav has partnered with Waylens to create customised cams to contribute with. This box just arrived over the weekend :) Happy mapping!

    @tomas @wakest I think you'd be much happier getting your own dedicated server, or at least a VPS. It takes away all that annoying "magic" that hosts give you and ensures that what runs is exactly what you set up and nothing more.

    Have you considered contributing to #OpenStreetMaps? It's like Wikipedia but for maps - a map that everybody can edit! Today, the NSW Address Import project added thousands of addresses for West Pennant Hills, Warrawee, and West Pymble.

    If you know those areas, check it out and start mapping!

    Dear #fediverse. I work as an #architect and design buildings that harm the planet. I am looking for a practicing #engineer who can teach me building energy modelling using #opensource tools. I have a background in software dev, run #gentoo #linux and am willing to learn down to the details.

    I do not have a background in heat transfer or thermodynamics, which is why I am asking for a tutor.

    I promise to use this to design better buildings.

    Please help retoot this so I can find someone.
