Petite simulation faite sur Blender. Jour d’apprentissage numéro 2 sur ce logiciel. Je travaille sur Maya d’habitude mais je pense que ce logiciel (qui est et restera gratuit) est l’avenir du jeu vidéo / cinéma alors pour ne pas rester derrière, je me forme.

FOSS NEWS

Mastodon (official) mobile apps and mastodon.social, mastodon.online web UI will include easily dismissable donation banner:
news.itsfoss.com/mastodon-in-a
(Some people often get mad if a project asks for donation within its software UI, but I think volunteer devs also deserve to get some payment for their work, it's fair to include a donation notice, if it doesn't annoy users with its placement.)

Brave and AdGuard will block Microsoft Recall:

Bluesky introduces age verification (using payment cards, ID scans, or face scans) for accessing adult content and direct messaging, and content controls for UK users:
alternativeto.net/news/2025/7/
(Yeah we're heading into a dystopian future, where you can't use social media without giving up sensitive information... Or can't send messages because a small portion of predators also use that feature... It shouldn't be the responsibility of governments and social media platforms to protect children, it's the parents' task to protect their children. If governments would really care about protecting children, they would rather push campaigns targeted towards parents to raise awareness of the importance of paying attention what their child is doing online. But nah, this "protect children" thing is only pushed for emotional manipulation, so that the governments can cover their arse, while building surveillance infrastructure.)

It's FOSS News · Mastodon Wants Funding and Won't Mind Nudging You for DonationThis small change could help support Mastodon.
Installed Sunshine streaming server on Linux Gaming MiniPC (which doubles as a#proxmox host!).

Truly impressed at how smooth it is (it has a Nvidia 3060 on an eGPU which does the encoding).

This was captured on my iPhone, controlling remotely #Blender on the Linux machine with iOS Moonlight client.

Yup I did the full install from my phone because I woke up too early but didn’t want to get up yet 😅 I should definitely try this from my Mac to see how fast it goes at 2560x1440 on my work screen.
