Mesh2Motion is a free, open-source web app that lets you easily animate 3D models, including humans, four-legged animals, and birds. You upload a GLB/GLTF model, choose a skeleton type, adjust it to fit your model, test animations, and then export your animated model. It supports multiple animations and works well for web or game projects. You can run it online or locally using Node.js or Docker. The open-source nature means it can grow with community help, and animators can contribute new animations. This tool offers a flexible, cost-free way to bring 3D models to life without needing expensive software.

#Policy_Brief: Coercion Over Consent: #Ethiopia’s dangerous mandatory Digital ID experiment
In this policy brief, Mohamed A. argues that Ethiopia's mandatory Digital ID (#Fayda) is a "flawed and dangerous policy," not because identification itself is problematic, but because enforcement lacks legal safeguards. He emphasizes that centralizing sensitive data risks turning governance into a tool of "surveillance, control, and exclusion."
According to him, Ethiopia is "importing the concept as if it were a proven model." In Ethiopia's fragile institutional context, this amounts to "recklessness disguised as modernization," especially with foreign funding raising unresolved questions about "who controls the data."
The author urges authorities to "pause enforcement" until trust and oversight are established, arguing that without them, mandatory ID is "not progress—it is a poorly designed and dangerous policy."
