Linus Torvalds rejected the code from Google programmer who tried to improve the Risk V support.

And in his casual manner the creator of Linux was pointlessly rude. Each time I get curious about toxicity of Linux enthusiasts, I remember who founded all that.

S&box goes open source!
(Under MIT)

A modern game engine, built on Valve's Source 2 and the latest .NET technology, it provides a modern intuitive editor for creating games. BUT!

Obviously this isn't the Source 2 code, that's up to Valve to open source if they want. For us Source 2 is providing lower level systems, all our high level systems are C# like the entire editor, networking, scene system, UI, and way more.

Which means, it's partially MIT.

A useful batch-processing plugin for GIMP 3 (since BIMP is limited to GIMP 2.x): it can do tons of stuff on folders and file queues and runs very fast, since it's relying on GIMP acceleration.

The script can be as complex as you dare to make it, like running certain actions on certain layers, like "blur on current layer".

The best CMS just turned 25!

I'm using it since 2009 which is probably longer than some of you lived. And it's still doing oddly good.

Absolutely modular in terms of features and templates, it gives flexibility to build exactly what you want, not just another slow and bloated WP blog.
