      to publish ios apps you need to run xcode, last time I checked (admittedly it's been 7ish years) - and you need to build on mac hardware. none of which is cheap, especially for devs who don't see any additional revenue from their ios apps.

        MakeHuman is a 3D character creation software designed to simplify the creation of virtual humans through a graphical user interface. The software allows users to create realistic human characters by adjusting parameters like gender, age, height, weight, and ethnicity through slider controls. Characters can be customized with clothes, hair, poses, and materials from the built-in library and exported to 3D soft, like Blender.

                Forgejo (pronounced /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/ (hear an audio sample)) is inspired by forĝejo, the Esperanto word for forge.

                Or simply for-jay-oh

                            I imagine it affects several parameters that you can also change separately in a CLI, allowing for a multidimensional gender scale.

                              I use it for media.ccc.de and it's decent, except the events are not sorted by date and they don't have captions unlike the YouTube mirrors.

                                        It's not easy, ShareX depends on NetFramework components, which Linux don't have, it don't even work well with Wine, because of this until now all intents are not very functional or even abandoned (ShareNix (early alpha), ShareXin (archived)....). It's better to use Screenshot tools for Linux, even if they all aren't so complete like ShareX. Architecture differences between Windows and Linux are very big.

                                          This is not open source software, it's licenced under the Anti Capitalist Software Licence.

                                          I still appreciate it in this list, but the caveat is important

                                          TIL about the ACS Licence. Thanks.

                                          I thought that if the source code was available on github, it would count as open-source whatevery the licence, my bad.
