⚽ Day 36 of building my football/soccer game solo in Unreal Engine 5.
We made major UI/UX enhancements to the 3D match engine last night:
🏟️ 3D Stadium added to the match engine
🖥️ Optimized match engine to 1440p (2K)
🐛 Squashed a rendering bug and gained ~45 fps
My focus for next week will be on additional player animations. 🎮

THIS IS INSANE. 🤯
India gave GitHub THREE HOURS to delete BitChat.
By the time the deadline hit, the app was already back. On a network with no company to send the order to.
Here's what happened:
• India orders GitHub to remove BitChat, citing "unlawful communication"
• GitHub has 3 hours to comply or face legal action
• Within hours, a developer mirrors the entire codebase on Radicle
• Radicle has no central server. No company. No CEO to subpoena. No app store to pressure.
• The instructions go out: clone it, seed it, keep it alive
• Every person who seeds it becomes another copy the government can't touch
The part nobody's saying out loud: this is the exact scenario BitChat was built for.
It runs on pure Bluetooth. No internet. No SIM. No phone number. It was already unkillable at the app layer, that's why protesters in Nepal, Iran, and Madagascar used it to route around government shutdowns.
Now the SOURCE CODE is unkillable too.
India didn't delete BitChat. It just handed the entire internet a live demo of why decentralized infrastructure exists.
You can order a company to take something down. You can't order a network that isn't owned by anyone.
Command to mirror it yourself is already public. People are seeding it right now.
Disgusting behaviour by the Argentinians at the end, especially Paredes.
Just a bunch of nasty violent thugs, and a disgrace to football. Never been so happy to see a team lose.
