awesome: Beastie/Leon McNeill just open sourced their Ultima III colour Macintosh port, all written in Think C!
This is the "Lairware" version that was sold at lairware.com, and received many updates over the years - eventually gaining OS X/Intel 32-bit support. The source appears to be an Xcode project with a mix of think C and cocoa.
great job, Leon!

I'm finalizing my draft for next week's talk at OSDay in Firenze. One of the key points of the introduction:
"Embracing open source used to mean finding and creating alternative solutions. The whole world was pushing towards Windows; we were pushing towards open-source operating systems. Not because it was easy or free (as a free beer), but to break free from imposed constraints.
Where has that desire for freedom gone?
Yes, using Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes is undoubtedly better than relying on closed solutions. But the moment everyone uses those tools, freedom will die—because we’ll have to use them, simply because everyone else does.
If we had always followed the mainstream, we wouldn’t have Linux or the BSDs today. We would have a thousand editions of Windows and overpriced commercial Unix systems. We would be slaves to licenses, forced to depend on those who grant them just to do our jobs.
That’s why I say: be free and always consider alternatives"
I will never stay in the allocated 25 minutes slot

Ubuntu 25.10 Looks To Make Use Of Rust Coreutils & Other Rust System Components
—@phoronix
｢ Cited as the motivation are performance benefits as well as added safety provided by the Rust programming language. Among the Rust components initially being evaluated are the uutils version of cureitls, findutils, and diffutils. The sudo-rs software as the Rust written sudo is also being evaluated ｣
What is this? An API client for ants??
With the right config you can get super compact!
Compact mode is working nicely with different themes, horizontal mode, and jump mode.
I also added a subtle background colour to indicate which tab has focus-within - something that I lost by hiding the tab underlines.
Started playing #Ryzom and I'm loving it. Complex mechanics, interesting world (though I haven't yet left the starting region), lovely community. I think I'll be spending a lot of time on Atys.

Announcing Altbot 2.0: The Privacy & Green Update 
Exciting news! After months of development, Altbot 2.0 is officially launching with major improvements to privacy, efficiency, and description quality.
What's new in Altbot 2.0:
The only data Altbot 2.0 records:
No images, no content, no personal data saved - ever.
For those who don't know, Altbot has been helping make the Fediverse more accessible by automatically generating alt-text descriptions for images. The project has grown beyond anything I imagined, now serving thousands of users across the network.
Support Altbot's Future 
To bring these privacy and efficiency improvements to life, I had to invest in a more powerful server than initially planned. The server costs exceeded my budget by around $900, which I've covered out of pocket. Who woulda thought that competing with a $1.98 trillion dystopian mega corporation would be expensive? Shocking, I know.
I've set up a Ko-fi fundraising goal to help recover these costs and support ongoing development: Ko-fi.com/micr0byte
Your contributions will help ensure Altbot remains:
Even small donations make a huge difference and motivate me to keep enhancing accessibility across the Fediverse!
This milestone represents a commitment to ensuring accessibility doesn't come at the cost of privacy or environmental impact. I'm incredibly proud of what we've built together.
As Altbot continues to grow, I'm open to sharing more about this journey with anyone interested in accessibility, ethical AI, or Fediverse projects.

Feel free to boost or reach out!
