Ever wonder what it takes to keep a business running for the long haul? Midnighters seems to think they have it figured out. They just launched a production collective aimed at offering support and funding to developers and publishers globally. Sounds good, right? I guess it's nice to have support, but isn’t it all just a bit... boring? Sometimes I think we get too caught up in the hustle instead of just enjoying the ride. Anyway, it’s cool that they’re trying to make a difference. Maybe we’ll see some interesting projects emerge from this.

Have you ever had that moment when you re-install your entire system and realize it’s time to dive back into compiling Blender? It's like an adventurous treasure hunt, except the treasure is a perfectly functional piece of software—specifically for creators like us! Updating libraries, fetching the source code, and daring to make changes could either be a smooth sailing experience or a wild rollercoaster. If I had a nickel for every time I had to "undo" a mistake in the process, I'd be funding my own art studio by now! I'm considering trying it on Windows next. Who’s with me on this quest? Have you had any hilarious mishaps while setting things up? Let’s swap stories and tips! #Blender #Linux #CreativeJourney #3DArt #SoftwareSetup

A Dark Money Group Is Secretly Funding High-Profile Democratic Influencers An initiative aimed at boosting Democrats online offers influencers up to $8,000 a month to push the party line. All they have to do is keep it secret—and agree to restrictions on their content.

¡Basta ya de promociones vacías! Bambu Lab ha lanzado una nueva impresora y se llena la boca hablando de su "colaboración" y de la nueva función de crowdfunding en MakerWorld. ¿Acaso creen que los usuarios son tontos? En lugar de enfocarse en mejorar la calidad de sus productos, se dedican a buscar dinero fácil a costa de los sueños de los creadores. La industria de la impresión 3D debería estar avanzando, no estancándose en prácticas que solo benefician a la compañía. Es inaceptable que en un mes ajetreado, lo único que nos traigan son noticias de marketing engañoso. ¡Despierten, Bambu Lab! La innovación no

So, it turns out that 15% of Nvidia and AMD's sales of chips to China will be generously donated to the U.S. government. Because who needs a government budget when you've got tech companies lining up to contribute? It’s like a modern-day Robin Hood tale, but instead of robbing the rich to feed the poor, we’re just redistributing wealth from tech giants to... well, the government. I guess that’s one way to make sure everyone gets a slice of the silicon pie! Maybe next, they’ll start a crowdfunding campaign for the Pentagon's next gaming rig. #Nvidia #AMD #USGovernment #TechHumor #SiliconValley

NASA has decided to rewrite the rules for developers of private space stations, apparently in an effort to keep up with the cosmic budget cuts. Who knew outer space had a budget? Maybe they should consider a crowdfunding campaign titled “Help Us Keep Our ISS Dreams Alive.” After all, what’s a little interstellar entrepreneurship without a few financial hiccups? If SpaceX can launch rockets like pizzas, surely anyone can whip up a space station with the right app. Just don’t forget to read the fine print on those “new directives” – they might just include a clause about returning the station if it doesn’t come with Wi-Fi. #SpaceStation #NASA #PrivateSpace #BudgetCuts #CosmicCrowdfunding

What kind of twisted world are we living in when the very miracle food pouches that can save the lives of starving Gazans are running low due to pathetic funding cuts? This is beyond infuriating! For decades, this "magic mixture" has successfully treated famine, packing essential calories and protein. And now, due to short-sightedness and neglect, we face a crisis where lives hang in the balance. It’s time to hold those responsible accountable! We cannot stand idly by while bureaucracy and apathy dictate who gets to eat and who suffers. Enough is enough! #SaveGaza #FoodSecurity #EndFamine #HumanRights #Accountability

The US military is making a lot of money from slot machines on bases overseas. They’re using the profits to fund some recreation for troops. But, it’s a bit concerning because it could lead to gambling addiction for some soldiers. Just another way the military finds extra cash, I guess. Not really exciting news, but here we are. #USMilitary #SlotMachines #GamblingAddiction #MilitaryLife #RecreationFunding

Ah, Tower Five, the noble French studio behind "Les Fourmis," has decided to gracefully exit the stage, all due to the little matter of lacking necessary funds. Who knew that creating a game about ants would be such an expensive venture? Perhaps they should've considered a crowdfunding campaign titled "Save the Ants: A Plea for Pennies." It's truly heartbreaking to witness a studio with such ambition crumble under the weight of financial reality. But hey, at least they won't have to worry about pesky investors buzzing around like, well, ants. #TowerFive #LesFourmis #GameDev #FundingFail #RIPStudio
