@s_bergmann I think there are already way too many surfaces that have been saturated with that sort of thing to want to also put it directly into the terminal
On a related note: it feels really good to get the FreeCAD port (the source of truth going forward, shifting over from @ErinRose's excellent efforts in Fusion) done with reference PCBs, fittings, and fixings, with the technical drawings (to make sure the tolerances are dialled in) the only important part still in flight.
Tired: Closing issues with "won't fix"

First: Sexual assault survivor asks Thomas not to use the word "rape" to refer to what big tech companies do to people's privacy
Second: Thomas asserts that the word "rape" has meanings besides literal sexual assault (an odd assertion to make in response to a request that is predicated on the existence of multiple possible meanings for the word "rape")
There are two possible explanations for why Thomas chose that as a response:
Either Thomas is very bad at reading comprehension
Or
Thomas is a condescending dickwad who chose to be a jerk to sexual assault victims on purpose just so he could make a point about privacy in tech
Which is it, Thomas?
ETA: in case it's not clear, I am also a sexual assault survivor. We're everywhere! And we don't always agree on everything but I think everyone thinks that dismissing our objections and pretending nothing was ever said is a shitty response to us bringing up our preferences vis-a-vis the language used on our timelines.
Upcoming feature freeze and UI freeze for FreeCAD 1.0
During the planned online developers meeting today, we agreed on the following plan towards FreeCAD 1.0.
The development branch will enter feature freeze on June 3, at the PR merge meeting. Here is what it means to contributors:
satisfying brain-scratching noodling from the weekend + earlier:
(I am very new at these, and am going to keep devouring whatever reference material and examples I can scrounge. Also, you 1st Angle vs 3rd Angle culture war people need to take a chill pill.)
I posted about brain cancer and hope to find people to pick up the torch on my accessibility projects that I think could help make the web better. I have a major surgery May 29th and time is short. I will only become less able.
I'm happy to answer any questions, or just discuss things, but I do ask that kind words on cancer not be posted here, despite my appreciation for them.
It was a couple days ago, but I recently passed 12 years on HRT. It doesn't feel like a big deal to me, but that in itself feels a bit like a big deal. I wish I could show my teenage self me today. It would have meant so much to me to see even one older trans masc person back then. But also, this is almost exactly how I dreamt of looking. You can just be who you want to be. I did it. I want to tell myself back then that we did it. We made it.
The http://alt-text.org alt text library project needs a new leader, because I have brain cancer.
I would like to connect with the #accessibility dev community, something I have never figured out, probably in part for neurodivergence reasons. I want to hand the project off to a team or a leader if anyone is willing to take it over.
they should do an international arrest warrant for Netanyahu and open it up to world's most eccentric bounty hunters. just an absolute freak show of weirdos and operators, all trying to take him down for a payday like it's Wacky Races.
like a guy from Texas with tight jeans and a sun baked squint. another guy with twin pet panthers. some lady gymnast who is a master of disguise. a former astronaut that lost custody of his kids and has nothing to lose. Steven Segal. y'know.
