Greetings, fellow dynes! Our newsletter has emerged from its small hiatus with news from the free software mountain range.

This edition visits Gestalt, frei0r’s refreshed website and effects collection, and Dynebolic IV, with version V already inviting testers. We also look at Autistici/Inventati and why privacy and free expression depend on infrastructure that people can keep running.

There’s a funding appeal too. Without new support, Dyne.org won’t be able to keep its developers on the payroll beyond Q1 2027. If these tools have helped you create, communicate, or protect your work, please consider supporting their continued development.

Sharing the issue helps too. And we’d love to hear which Dyne tools have found a place in your own corner of the galaxy.
