  • Huge congrats to the team and my condolences on the loss.

    FreeCAD is a huge part of my engineering toolkit and your work is greatly appreciated.

    I expect that the 1.0 will be in the Debian repos by about 2026 and I’m looking forward to it. Stable distros be stable distros. :-p







  • They learned from our local high-profile crooks that if you can delay proceeding for a couple years, the process ends.

    Just fucking wild man

    Yeah, we US Americans know. We’re despairing that our justice system has finally failed after decades of active undermining be the right wing to install unqualified and ideological judges instead of people interested in a rule of law.

    The delay delay delay tactics mostly work here if you have the money and connections for it.

    I’m hopefully that Romania actually uses this case to prove their nation has a functional legal system when it counts, especially with such a high profile case. These brothers publicly derided, insulted, ignored, and put down Romania to their millions of followers. Go get them and make them pay for crimes and the insults. Show us all that Romania will enforce the law when it counts because the US barely is.



  • I didn’t say it was easy. I know how much it costs and it’s not an easy proposition. Given the alternative of living in a state where a woman denied her body autonomy I feel that it should put some serious pressure on finding a way to get out of the state when they can.

    I, too, have moved states before (on a grad student shoestring budget), and also have have opportunities to move to Europe, so we did the math on the move cost. I’ve also got adult children who have moved with little more than a packed car trunk and a low paying job at the destination.

    The US has such low wages that we don’t have “fuck you money”. That’s enough money on hand to just quit a job and/or move when things go wrong where you’re at. The more the rich depress our take home pay the harder it becomes to drop a job or fight against oppression by moving away from it. We’re in a bad spot as a nation in many aspects and having too few resources to move when society decides to own your uterus is just one of those problems.
