Android was sold to us as an open platform. Now Google wants every developer to register and submit ID just to let you install their apps. Don't let them rug-pull 3 billion users. keepandroidopen.org @AlteredDeal #KeepAndroidOpen

Warm yourself by the virtual fireplace in this cosy 8-bit #Christmas scene. No MS-DOS or floppy 💾 drive required to stoke this very 1980s hearth. Thanks to software preservation, the flames are still crackling on the Internet Archive.

Open platforms are The Way. It makes no sense to anoint OS makers as the World App Police, censoring apps on other companies' app stores and websites at the behest of governments and media companies.
Apple has blocked the iTorrent app from being distributed via the AltStore PAL marketplace in the EU, revoking its alternative distribution rights without a clear reason. The developer and AltStore PAL have received only generic responses from Apple, which cites its Notarization process for app security. There is no evidence of a blanket ban on torrent apps, and the situation remains unresolved.
Super excited to see AI × Metaverse become a full Working Group! Huge thanks to my fellow co-chairs and everyone who helped make it happen!
With real-time rendering and AI, we can turn human vision into shared, interactive reality and open a new medium where anyone can create!
Big news: The AI x Metaverse Working Group has been approved at the Metaverse Standards Forum!
This is where AI innovators and #metaverse builders coordinate so these technologies evolve together — not in silos.

See our dynamic minting API in action and mint your own PFP NFT, created by the one and only @joshpainter!
Well fine I guess we'll just go straight to production then! Over 300 minted in less than 6 hours and the queue is still going!
- You tag @go4mebot with your xch address
- Your PFP gets go4'rd
- You get #1 delivered right to your wallet
- Your #2 gets put up for 0.02 and 10% royalty goes to your wallet
- When #2 gets bought, #3 gets put up for 0.03 and so on
- I get the initial sales price to offset the (very expensive) image generation and (very reasonable) services from @MintGarden_io
- You get royalties forever on every trade of your PFP!

We’re excited to share that MonkeyZoo has received a $30,000 continuation grant from Chia!
With this funding, we’re developing an engaging Trading Card Game (TCG) built with our NFT Fusion technology. Players will be able to fuse cards to create unique, powerful assets, and strategically de-fuse them to adapt their decks in real time.
MonkeyZoo is pioneering dynamic NFT Fusion on the Chia blockchain, unlocking new creative possibilities across gaming, art, and digital collectibles.
A huge thank you to Chia Network Inc for supporting our vision and hard work, and recognising the innovative approach behind our NFT Fusion technology.
