"The pursuit of greater profits cannot justify choices that systematically sacrifice jobs, because the human person is an end, not a means, and the economic order must remain subordinate to human dignity and the common good." —Pope Leo XIV

That's pretty shocking news, Native Instruments, one of the largest companies in music making software, is in preliminary insolvency. This will have some serious ramifications for both users and employees cdm.link/ni-insolvency/

Having spent the festive season watching LOTR extended editions and finishing Expedition 33, this Christmas was truly blessed by Andy Serkis.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS #umbeatable

Incredible selection here:

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

First use of Umbraco v17: updating the Umbraco + Astro workshop Adam Prendergast and I delivered over the summer! Having initially built the project on v15 it's been great to keep the project with the latest versions of Umbraco, Astro and .NET! #umbraco #astro github.com/jacksorjacks...

Simogo Legacy Collection launches tomorrow with full Steam Deck compatibility. We couldn’t get a Deck Verified review and we don't know what exactly qualifies to get tested by Valve, but we are guessing more interest might help. Please wishlist if you can/want! store.steampowered.com/app/3817040/...

In honour of #umbracotees and #umbracohoodies I present #umbracohats - congratulations to Umbraco for their V17 LTS release, bringing a new web component-based backend and making a great CMS even more resilient to the test of time! #umbraco

🚨 SCOOP: Toyota and Aston Martin secretly lobbied a Conservative cabinet minister to weaken Britain’s climate policy. We only know this because Democracy for Sale won a two-year legal fight to force the government to hand over the documents. democracyforsale.substack.com/p/victory-we...

Video games are good. @inkle.co are very good at making them.

This is a great event for any London-based Umbraco devs! Paul does wonders for the community and a charity hackathon is an inspired idea

Wishlist wishlist wishlist

Hey @astro.build is it possible to sort the Themes by Date Added? Found a few using older Astro versions so just wanting to see if I can use more current themes. TIA! astro.build/themes/

We all know we’ve entered the “they’re banning Christmas” season now poppy rage is over on social media. But I didn’t expect actual newspapers would take the confected outrage by anonymous far-Right Twitter accounts and turn them into “news” stories! But here we are in 2025🤷🏼‍♀️ 21/

The Astro + Umbraco v15 dev blog workshop repo myself and Adam Prendergast put together for Codegarden has now been updated to Umbraco v16 (and the most recent version of Astro v5) 🎉 #umbraco #astro

Hey #umbraco devs. Would anyone like to help me get this package on to U17. I started on U14 but hit a blocker due to lack of knowledge with Image Processor. Would love to collab with anyone interested. github.com/WildSiteCrea...

Yes, it really helps, but knowing the curfew (so you can get the train home) and sensible bar prices (looking at you, O2 venues) are more important.

Are there any decent, modern blog templates on *just* HTML, CSS and JS? Finding loads of Tailwind, Bootstrap, and then other frameworks, but just vanilla templates? #frontend #html #css

ICYMI: this game is lush and needs wishlisting to shiiiiiit so please share and wishlist it and that

This should be sobering reading for the government departments, Labour MPs, and UK voters who are still on that platform. If it was owned by any faction other than US tech it would surely be banned.

For anyone who's purchased the game through Steam, can I please please ask you to leave a review! It helps our Steam visibility tremendously, and even just two words written in there is enough! 👻

One of my best friends did the animation for this and I'm so proud of them! Happy release day!

Huzzah!

UmBloggers - Umbraco Technical Writers Group - returns with a co-writing event! Tuesday 28th October, 6:30pm GMT. We'll be writing, then discussing, then writing, then discussing - all as a group, supporting one another's ideas. I'd post the Meetup link but AWS Things. #technicalwriting #writers

But 80 Days, Heavens Vault and A Highland Song aren’t! So play one of those instead

Earth Must Die is a charming adventure game with dialogue written by some of the best video game writers that the UK has ever seen store.steampowered.com/app/3639780/...

UK & Ireland has had some extraordinary albums over the last 12 months and you don't have long left to vote for your favourite in this pile. @thecure.com @loscampesinos.bsky.social @benefitstheband.bsky.social and many more feature on this year's list www.drownedinsound.org/neptune-priz...

“individualism in the dead internet age” is in the IDFA DocLab selection! festival.idfa.nl/en/film/0307... “IDFA DocLab: Off the Internet explores the paradox of our time: the growing desire to disconnect, the impossibility of ever truly logging off, and the inherent privilege of stepping offline.”

One last push: if you HAVEN'T reviewed the EMD demo yet please do, as it'll massively help us out with Next Fest tomorrow. Downloads and reviews get us prominence, apparently. If you HAVE reviewed it, you're a shining example of the very best type of Terranoid, well done. Big star ⭐

Once more, with feeling

Getting MEGA reviews on the Earth Must Die demo ahead of Next Fest If anyone hasn't tried it yet, please do! When we get to 50 reviews we get an extra visibility boost, so every single review is unbelieveably huge to us at this point store.steampowered.com/app/4057540/...

Civic duty to play through and support this monster of a project

'Night and the City' by Chris Donlan remains one of the finest online articles on game urbanism ever. Somehow simultaneously personal, historical, and objective it is an excellent read, and a reminder that L.A. Noir remains truly unique. Find it here: www.eurogamer.net/night-and-th...

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...
