A couple of days ago, a YouTube video encouraging donations to Blender went viral, and the development fund received an unprecedented (3x) amount of donations! Dramatic title and thumbnail really do help… Cheers to Film Stop for putting the video together! #b3d

MIFA tent: hire an engineering team to design and build a solid tent. The amount of floor micro-vibration as people walk around makes items (tables, monitors) constantly wobble in a subtle, exhausting way.

I’ve been sharing this feedback for the past 2 years, but it does not seem to do much. Curious to hear if people have more observations. Thank you for coming to my very first social media rant! I feel like I’m Elon!
