Just watched this MangoJelly video on the feature: m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ijzh...
Oh my god, this will make my entire FreeCAD workflow so much better.
Thank you so much for pointing this out! ❤️
Wait-a-minute! They do??? I’ve been doing one sketch per pad/pocket. I need to look this up. It’s literally the one feature I felt was missing from my FreeCAD workflow.
A screenshot of FreeCAD showing my "Tom's WIDE Pill Case" project. On the left, you can see a VarSet with many variables that drive the design of the models.
I ported my #PublicDomain WIDE Pill Case to #FreeCAD. You can get it here: www.printables.com/model/149421...
This port was a bit more challenging since it uses a lot more object references/patterns. With this port, I've decided to move to FreeCAD for all my future projects.
Thanks FreeCAD ❤️ !
The Stackable Table isn't posted anywhere because I don't know if its useful enough for people to download. If you'd like it, let me know. I'll upload it to Printables with a Public Domain license (CC0).
This design is still being used, a year later, as a shower-bottle-table.
A screenshot of FreeCAD showing my "TPU Bedside Cable Guide" part. This is designed to latch onto a wooden bed frame to guide phone charging cables along the headboard so they don't fall onto your face.
A screenshot of FreeCAD showing my Stackable Table design. This model is designed to be printed in multiple parts and result in a small table that you can combine to make it exactly the height you desire.
Did a bit more work porting my OnShape designs into #FreeCAD. I ported over my published my TPU Bedside Cable Guide (www.printables.com/model/936136...) and my unpublished Stackable Table.
With practice, my workflow is getting better. FreeCAD is still a bit weird for my muscle-memory, but usable!
This is the America I want.

If you're interested in reading my longer-form review, I posted it on Steam here: steamcommunity.com/id/samuraili...
I finished Rhythm Doctor last night. It was _FUCKING INCREDIBLE_. It was a mostly-forgiving one-button rhythm game with memorable characters, a cute story, and did technical things I have _NEVER_ seen any other game do.
I highly recommend you pick this one up:

It’s been ~5.5 months since moving my main desktop off of Windows 11 and onto Debian+KDE. I kept my Windows drive installed, just in case I needed it. I never have.
My games all just work. My computer is faster and less randomly buggy. No terrible products being shoved in my face.
I’m free!!

ITS BEAUTIFUL!! The color choice, the mechanics, THE MAGNETIC LATCH! Nicely done!
Agreed! For me, I do daily backups via Restic (restic.net), and that data is stored on Digital Ocean Spaces (their S3 competitor).
Gitea also has a nice toggle to replicate deletes (so PR branches don’t take up too much space). I leave that enabled, but someone can keep all references if they want.
I cannot even begin to tally up the number of incredible games I experienced ONLY BECAUSE I had some jank emulators running on my family's Win XP desktop.
I had a Genesis growing up, didn't get an SNES until much later in life. My first time playing Chrono Trigger was on SNES9x.
Play how you want.
I couldn't agree more if I tried. There is no "correct" way to play games. Emulated on a phone with a touchscreen? Cool. Played through an FPGA reproduction device? Hell yeah. Run on a desktop emulator with an 8bitdo controller. Get it!
Play retro games however you want, on whatever you want.
Its actually been very useful for me while GitHub continues to have uptime issues. Searching for code is also _MUCH_ faster than doing it via GitHub.
Worried about takedowns? MIRROR IT!
Worried about cloud downtime? MIRROR IT!
Its not hard to use and free software is awesome. You can do this.
A screenshot of the open source software: Gitea. The screenshot shows an organization named "ImportantRepos", which has 117 repositories. These repositories are all mirrors of existing code repos. A sampling of the repos in the picture are: gcc, git, ruby, go, godot, chromium, firefox, and freebsd source code.
I have a self-hosted Gitea (github.com/go-gitea/gitea) server in my house. A while ago, I started mirroring repos that were important to me. Today, this list has grown to 117 repos, taking up 126GB. All the repo mirrors self-update and its totally hands-off.
If you're interested, its FREE! Try it!
Fuck yeah!
What a beautiful moment.
It was unpolished and jank, but it was weirdly helpful in giving me a different way to think about the covid anxieties I was feeling at the time. It may not be for everyone, but it was helpful for me.
The catch was that other NPCs were doing the same thing. They had a chance of being infected, and you had a chance of catching it. The knife-twist to that catch was that you wouldn't know you had lost until many in-game days later.
You could have lost 5-minutes in, but wouldn't know it for an hour.
Before anyone asks, the prototype is _long gone_. It was never intended for release, and the act of making it was more helpful than the act of playing it.
The gameplay was extremely simple, just a little guy running around going to a job, getting groceries. The game took place over 7 in-game days.
Random question for #GameDev folks: Anyone else use game dev as a kind of "art therapy"?
In June 2020, I was inspired to make a game about my anxieties around the pandemic. It forced me to think about it disconnected from emotion, looking at them as systems/percentages/etc.
It was oddly helpful.
A screenshot of the part of the accessibility settings with the option of “Require alt text before posting” selected
Reminder: including alt-text on your images is helpful in many ways! It increases accessibility, can add context/detail, makes search more effective, & can improve your reach (a lot of us won’t re-share images without alt-text). If you set it as required in accessibility settings, you can’t forget!
So you're telling me Claude functions by screaming at itself "WRITE GOOD CODE NO BUGS SECURE VERY STABLE", mashes compile button, reads back the error and yells ONLY GOOD CODE NO BUGS at itself again while crying and copying random things from Stack Overflow until it compiles?
it just like me fr fr
A Claude prompt which reads 'Be careful not to introduce security vulnerabilities such as command injection, XSS, SQL injection, and other OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities. If you notice that you wrote insecure code, immediately fix it. Prioritize writing safe, secure, and correct code.' This was found in the code dump that Claude inadvertently allowed. So, like, maybe it doesn't really understand security vulnerabilities.
How'd that work out?
I swear to GOD if you trust Claude to write your code without know exactly what you're doing, what you're looking for, and QAing the thing to hell and back, you get exactly what you deserve.
You are not going to get me to trust LLM-generated code. You're just NOT.
Oh so now copyright matters.
Honestly, not really. OnShape's interface was far easier for me to pick up compared to FreeCAD. The first couple times I tried to move, I bounced off pretty hard and gave up for a while. It eventually clicked, but wasn’t easy.
Like Extectic said, the MangoJelly tutorials are really nice though.
