In my opinion the other dev involved stepping down was inevitable, I read their recent blog posts and it seems like more burnout and this being the final straw.

Sounds very interesting. Im not sure how open it will actually be, if they just mean its using RISC-V's open design and its just lost in translation or if they are actually trying to make an open hardware ecosystem.

edit: I read a bit more, it seems to be a apache-like licensed software only processor that one needs to implement first, so basically something inbetween pre RISC-V and an actual chip. Still cool, but I was hoping it was a finished chip.

New Rose Hotel. Featuring Willem Dafoe and Christopher Walken! Story by William Gibson! I may be mistaken, but I think he even wrote the screenplay, like in Johnny Mnemonic. But sadly not a very good movie. Its painfully slow. The original short story clearly did not have enough content for a movie. However, if you were to cut it down, there is a really good Cyberpunk movie hidden there. Maybe someday it gets the fancut it deserves...

They ran out of money. After realising that their original idea wasnt really that realistic and building a cargo airship is really really hard.

also, see CargoLifter for a similar project around the year 2000 which raised crazy amounts of money and then failed completely because of fundamental problems.

I suppose. But I think, minetest as a project was strengthend by its proximity to minecraft. The big reason you pick up luanti is that its like minecraft, but free and with more modding freedom. I dont think this is bad thing to be reflected in a name. But good luck to them, maybe they can pull the name change off without hurting their public recognition too much.

Im always sceptical of name changes, because you trade a somewhat widespread known project name in for ....nothing.

I think they are great. Yes, they are a little expensive, but I am really happy with mine, and I've heard only good things about the Stellaris from a friend who owns one.

As long as the right concept wins - yes.

For example GNU Taler could be used for the digital euro. Its anonymous for the buyer, backed by banks and traditional banking infrastructure and fast.

Its also somewhat unlikely to win. Lets hope the people in brussels make the right decision.
