Good morning #FiberArtCamp !
I have two beloved projects to remember on this #ThrowbackThursday
First, a cabled brioche cowl I made for a friend in teal and grey. ravelry.com/projects/hierofalc…
Second, a teal and orange striped brioche stitch baby blanket I made for my niece in 2018. She's much bigger now, but I think her parents moved right after I gave them the blanket and it got stuck in a box, so I'm not sure she's ever used the blanket. Lovely project, though. ravelry.com/projects/hierofalc…

It's a policy brief on what research funders and universities can do so we have more and better #openhardware in science. Based on a policy #Delphi exercise with +30 OSH experts.
Go to osh-policy.org for a splash page, or read it directly at zenodo.org/record/8030029
More than happy to discuss these ideas if you have comments ❤

Version 1 (Sandspiel)
sandspiel.club/
This one is more of a traditional sandbox game.
Version 2 (Sandspiel Studio)

This one is much more nerdy and social. Make your own custom elements and “maps” and share them with the community! It’s a lot of fun.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮 • • •While the #game is amazing, forcing current #gaming trends regarding visual fidelity creates such huge file sizes, which are overall bad for the #environment as it requires a lot more processing power, waste of #energy to download and install and forcing consumers to upgrade to more high-end parts.
That, but its also annoying as hell having to dedicate that much space to a single game 😅
I have a feeling its just gonna get worse over time tho...
