When I listen to Radiohead I feel very passionately about the lost string, although I'm not really sure why it's so important.

Just had our first Matrix Governing Board Finance & Fundraising meeting.

Matrix is super-important if we want to avoid our conversations being owned by people we can't trust.

The foundation is critical to Matrix: the people working for it do amazing work, not least on protecting all us users of the matrix.org homeserver.

Consider donating or sponsoring.

Box Smasher by @ROllerozxa is gone from Google Play https://boxsmasher.voxelmanip.se/news/2025/box-smasher-is-gone-from-google-play/

(Much like my own game, Box Stacker, and for the same reason - the developer agreement is actively hostile to individual devs.)

I'm still playing and enjoying Box Stacker, after leading the family team that wrote it two years ago.

Normally by the time a game is finished, I am sick of it and don't want to play again, but Box Stacker remains really fun.

You have to build little machines to get boxes or little toy cars into the green area.

The game is at https://box-stacker.artificialworlds.net/game/

You can play more home-made levels (and share your own) at https://box-stacker.artificialworlds.net/

It's also on F-Droid.

jwz's app is gone from the Play store because he refuses to give them his private details.

https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/google.html

I too have abandoned Google Play Store listings for my Android apps because of their unreasonable demand not just to have my address details, but to publish them on the store.

My apps are available on F-Droid.

My comments were 95% positive. Our heat pump is great. They seem to have cherry-picked the caveats I gave: I didn't want to deny the downsides, but they feel much harsher when the context is removed.
