“If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period. Or if everyone used Apple Music it would have been £12,331 more.”

More than 57,000 households in Gaza are now headed by women. Many of them are deeply vulnerable with no income to support their children.

Winter rain and flooding have worsened peoples’ suffering.

People no longer ask for warmth, education or proper food. They ask for a tent, a small heater, or a light. Their expectations have collapsed, as devastating as any destroyed building.

Lots of videos in this one. Turns out full screen shaders and drag to place belts are harder than one might think. I think I have a cool thing to contribute to the game genre. exofactory.net/blog/2025-12-04/

Draggable Belts, Electricity, & View Modes

This month brought draggable belts, electricity, and new view modes. Belt placement is way less tedious now, buildings need power to run, and global mode finally has useful overlays. The productivity shader came out looking really cool. Lots of shader learning was involved.

Agriculture made up about 32 percent of land use in Gaza before the war, and played a central role in the besieged enclave’s economy, along with an important part of Palestinian cultural identity.

By the end of October 2025, Israel destroyed 98% of Gaza’s tree cropland and 75% of its greenhouses.

This destruction will have horrific long-term environmental impacts on Gaza.

UN General Assembly passed a resolution commending UNRWA for its role in supporting Palestinian refugees. The motion extended the agency’s mandate until the end of June 2029.

The resolution passed with 151 votes in favour, 10 votes against, and 14 abstentions, the UN said in a statement. The 10 countries who voted against it were Argentina, Fiji, Hungary, Israel, North Macedonia, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Tonga, and the United States.

@forgejo guys you know your searches by issues are not case agnostic?

Issue: search webxdc

codeberg.org/monocles/monocles

no results

Now: search WebXDC

codeberg.org/monocles/monocles

Yes results.

Seems like a bug. For human-written issue titles, casing shouldn't matter.

Who should I open this bug with? Forgejo or Codeberg?

This holiday season, we're wrapping up some nice gifts for you all – the first is a freshly redesigned comment experience for posts on frequency that hopefully brings a smoother experience and more warmth and connection to your conversations 💝

The caption says "No comments yet" and "Start the conversation!".A screenshot of adding a new comment and mentioning someone on the frequency app.A screenshot of a newly-added comment in a bubble-like design.

It's been a while but the recording of the English version of my talk at @tdose earlier this year is finally online!

It's my first time in English and I had to shorten it in 15 min. You can notice it I fear, at one point I even made a mistake mispronouncing VPN as VPS. I felt so dumb hearing that 😬. Oh dear... Well, gotta start somewhere, in general the story is there and knowledge is shared 😅.
