@FreeCADNews @NovaTechie_Y2K I’ve not tried the CFD workbench myself, but this FreeCAD forum thread (with posts as recent as a couple of weeks ago) discusses installation on macOS. https://t.co/wgm9QOIEEW

@FreeCADNews @SebDominguez I don’t know of a way around it. I just increase the font size and the size of the constraints is increased too. I suppose it could be feature request to separate out the sizing of the constraint symbols. Overall, the Retina/HighDPI differences across FreeCAD needs thought.

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.

While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.

And they’re right.

Actor Harrison Ford endorsed VP Harris:

“I’ve been voting for 64 years but I never wanted to talk about it..but –when dozens of former members of the Trump Admin are sounding alarms, saying for God's sake don't do it again, you have to pay attention”

In March 1945, a few weeks before we defeated Nazi Germany, the regular informational pamphlet Army Talks, sent to all U.S. soldiers and officers in Europe, was a primer on fascism. It’s remarkable to read now. For obvious reasons. https://t.co/Ge7nEhUDlm

It's important to note that Trump supporters (and Trump) have the mindset and insults of 1980s middle schoolers, but with the guns and hate of failed adults.

I am extremely displeased to see Amazon Business now marketing to AWS account emails (that have marketing preferences all set to opt-out).

I promise you, AWS does not want customers to start viewing all communication from them as spam.

[JohnOCFII @oshcfii]

@QuinnyPig So THAT’s why I’ve been getting those recent emails - AND PHONE CALLS! Super annoying.

My weekly "Downballot" series looks at the election deniers w/ election oversight, including:

180 candidates for Congress
7 Governors
11 AGs
5 Sec of State
100s of local election board supervisors
& Donald Trump

The REAL "threat to Democracy" is local

Why does Trump *seem* refreshingly honest to many Americans? In this pod w/ @Jamie_Weinstein, @davidfrum explains. To summarize: Most pols try not to outright lie, so their answers sound evasive; Trump is willing to lie, so his answers don’t sound evasive https://t.co/ZivYtKNyPL

@themitch22 I wish more Makers and 3D printing folks were active on Mastodon.

This man did more to hold Donald accountable than the media has in the last eight years.

I supervised a school lunchroom for 20+ years. It’s pretty simple: kids can’t learn on an empty stomach.

That’s why I signed a bill making school meals free for Minnesota students, no questions asked.

Instead of banning books, let’s ban hunger. Happy National School Lunch Week!
