While not exactly the same, there is also https://www.freeciv.org/


Also worth mentioning is C-evo, even if it's not being developed further afaik

http://c-evo.org/


C-evo development shifted to forks, New Horizons and Distant Horizon.

> C-evo development shifted to forks, New Horizons and Distant Horizon.

What was the reason for this?


The forks built with Lazarus in instead of Delphi, and are cross platform, Linux as well as Windows.


- civ 1 --> OpenCiv1

- civ 2 --> FreeCiv

- civ 3 --> OpenCiv3

- civ 4 --> ???

- civ 5 --> UnCiv


I really wish the FreeCiv team would focus on their SDL build instead of all these fiddly and very fickle UI toolkits. They have an incredibly cool hex-based hybridized Civ 2/3 ruleset that might be the best of all worlds, IF it could actually start consistently on all systems. Drop GTK and Qt, clean it up, add some modern quality of life keybinds and UI info, make it the universal target.

Of course, there is https://koeln.ccc.de/ in Cologne.


While not discrediting your observation, what would be an example that could be investigated by a small team?

I was thinking about an electronic toothbrush, or a kettle?


Definitely something with parts that fall. I wouldn't do a kettle because those are toaster simple.

An electric toothbrush would be good. There are a few parts that could fall, the battery in particular.


I typed in "nazi". Only UK has the word appear over it.


Based on previous discussions during a review with higher ups, there need to be some options as to how the week numbers are counted. Can you action that by KW10.3 and report back. I will create a JIRA ticket for tracking. Many thanks for your support.


Sorry, Jira is a bit slow today.


Does anyone know if there is a Car Play option / workaround available from the Apple Watch? I have not been able to find an alternative.


CarPlay runs on the phone and streams video to you in vehicle display. Even the Apple Watch Ultra does not have the compute or battery to run apps, render the display image and wirelessly send it to your car.


And you can play game of snake while you are idling... :-)


When I was younger, a senior told me that If all you have is a hammer to solve the problem, all problems will start to look like a nail.
