i need to draw a couple very simple floor plans, to scale.

anyone have some simple software recommendations? preferably open source with open formats, but web-based would be okay too.

"We have the $270 Brother MFC-L2750DW, which adds a sheet-fed scanner, because my wife is a lawyer and scans things for judges or whatever she does with it. It doesn’t matter."

this is probably the best article i've ever read on the verge

Watching a season 1 TNG episode, who the fuck are these people!?

@yuvipanda ha. we rewatched a TON of TNG during the early pandemic (also: the original law & order! so good.) ... it definitely felt weird

hello fedimortals, what are the most beautiful computer things to you — whether in the realm of #software, #hardware, #networks, #distsys, etc.?

what pleases your aesthetic senses? what feels poetic? what fills you with awe, wonder, or excitement?

serious answers preferred 🖤

@shortridge anything by justine tunney … her code is nuts but it’s also hilarious and art and it works AND often contains manually constructed justified width comments.

Has anyone done a mapping of various open non-profit-community-corporate structrural models? I realize I don’t have terminology to talk about my intuitions/experiences in this space.

eg, some foundations are minimalist, focused on IP. Others provide no(at?)-cost SaaS, while partners/community-members provide for-profit services. Historically many provided hosting, but GitHub has mostly obsoleted that for new orgs. LF centers corporate memberships, with strict(ish) neutrality among them.

@luis_in_brief i just have a talk two days ago with the world’s most unscientific slide on this topic. if you find yourself creating a mapping you’re happy with, i’d love to see it published.

this is such a difficult thing to describe to people without visuals … and my visuals tend to involve a lot of fabrications (“maybe the mozilla foundation works like…this? i dunno, i don’t work there.”)
