  • SuiPlay0X1 runs Playtron’s device-agnostic gaming operating system, enabling gamers to play both Web3 and Web2 games across PC and mobile.

    GamesBeat have some more details, noting it will have "native Sui blockchain integration via zkLogin and Sui Kiosk SDKs, enabling asset ownership directly connected to a device’s account system for the first time in the gaming industry

    What is a web3 game? Something that allows you to grind for NFTs?


  • Good thing that it went to Wine I guess, as they do lots of work to get old Windows programs up and running in Linux and that often involves Mono.

    I see this as the main purpose of this transfer of ownership. When it comes to developing new software, MS has their modern tech stack for creating cross-compatible code, and the recommendation is to use that. But that is not helpful when trying to get old legacy software running on a modern system. So MS is giving this “outdated” technology to the WINE team. A team whose primary goal is getting incompatible software to run in the “wrong” environment. This should allow WINE to continue to properly handle older Mono software for the foreseeable future.















  • From their GitHub:

    Molly has unique features compared to Signal:

    • Data encryption at rest - Protect the database with passphrase encryption
    • Secure RAM wiper - Securely shred sensitive data from device memory
    • Automatic lock - Lock the app automatically under certain conditions
    • Multi-device support – Link multiple devices, including Android tablets, to a single account
    • Block unknown contacts - Block messages and calls from unknown senders for security and anti-spam
    • Contact deletion - Allows you to delete contacts and stop sharing your profile
    • Disappearing call history - Clear call notifications together with expiring messages
    • Debug logs are optional - Android logging can be disabled
    • Custom backup scheduling - Choose between a daily or weekly interval and the number of backups to retain
    • SOCKS proxy and Tor support - Tunnel app network traffic via proxy and Orbot

    Besides that, you will find all the features of Signal plus some minor tweaks and improvements. As with Signal, SMS is not supported.


    Molly is open-source just like Signal. But Signal uses Google’s proprietary software to provide some key features.

    To support a 100% free and auditable app, Molly comes in two flavors: one with proprietary blobs like Signal and one without. They are called Molly and Molly-FOSS, respectively.
