Microsoft Joins the Blender Development Fund (blender.org) 30

Posted by msmash from the moving-forward dept.
Ton Roosendaal, Chairman of Blender Foundation (which accepts donations to support activities to provide free and open accessible services for all Blender contributors), writes: Microsoft makes use of Blender to generate synthetic 3D models and images of humans that can be used to train AI models. For researchers, having access to high quality free/opensource 3D software has proven to be of great benefit for scientific projects. You can check some of their work here. To express their support, Microsoft is joining the Blender Foundation's Development Fund as a Corporate Gold member per July 1st, 2020. We at Blender are very proud of this support statement, it's another important signal that the industry migrates to open source and finds ways to contribute to it.

Submission + - All Dreamwidth links blocked on Facebook; silent deletion of existing links (dreamwidth.org)

JoshuaZ writes: Andrew Drucker has reported https://andrewducker.dreamwidth.org/3861716.html that Facebook has apparently blocked all links to Dreamwidth, a semi-popular blogging/journaling platform with tens of thousands of users. Facebook is not only preventing anyone from posting it, they've also silently deleted all statuses, posts, and replies which have included even a single Dreamwidth links. As of right now, the reason for this is unknown. This may be an overzealous spam filter at work.

Have you seen his UID you idiot? Means he's been here at least 10 or so years longer than you, if you don't like the fact that we were dropping red pills and celebrating free speech here long before Reddit existed, why don't YOU fuck off there? Like all these racist West-hating people, if you don't like it, you can fuck off too. Nobody's stopping you!

An idea for a new hobby? Leave shopping carts full of crap every time you go to the supermarket, just to be a complete troll... I would never have thunk it (thank heavens)

By the way, if I was a dictatorial tyrant, I would require web crawlers doing this to complete the checkout (and pay), this would amuse me...

Which part of it were you bored with? Also, do you agree that Microsoft stongarmed people onto Windows 10 from a perfectly suitable OS in the form of Windows 7? Can you name anything useful that Windows 10 can do that Windows 7 cannot, not counting deliberate arbitrary restrictions like Forza Horizon 4 being Windows 10 only?
