This @kicad -> @blender plugin by @bobbe is absolutely amazing!

It allows you to import your KiCad design into Blender with textures, shaders, and even solder blobs in like 5 clicks!

Now if only I had the slightest idea how to use Blender 😭

OoooOooh i found a cool driveway rock!

Canadian media & govt personalities are launching an "I deserve better" campaign in response to the hate they receive from the public.
It kinda comes off as "you can't talk to us like this" in an environment where they regularly talk down to the public about anything and everything.
People in all kinds of positions of authority seem to forget that respect is a two-way street.

Constitutional Conservatives can't wrap their heads around the fact that the "founding fathers" had no authority to bind the people alive at the time to their political whims with some made up document, let alone the generations that follow.

No understanding of consent or authority.

The State could put them in an iron cage for something they didn't do, and they'll continue to go on about how "the Constitution is the greatest document ever, we must support it!"

welcome to democracy
you may vote for war or war

Not a crazy idea...

Can anymany tell me how I'm "supposed" to use end-to-end encryption with XMPP?

As far as I can tell there are three totally different ways to do E2EE:

a)OTR : "[https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0364.html](Not intended to be a current standard), or technical specification, as better (albeit, newer and less well tested) methods of end-to-end encryption exist for XMPP. "


b)OpenPGP: There are at least two different XEPs about it. XEP-0027 is obsolete, while XEP-0373 is "experimental" but hasn't been updated in almost three years.

c)OMEMO: "Experimental" and hasn't been updated in over two years.

Is there a way to do E2EE in XMPP which is neither deprecated nor experimental? What's the "Current stable" way to do it?

The outcome of what happens to Julian is one of the most important markers for freedom in our lifetimes.

It pisses me off that the our government here in Australia has let him languish for a decade and not even done anything until just recently. Then all they did was “vote” on what they think they should do. Then the vote wasn’t even unanimous.

All the ministers who voted no to repatriating Julian to Australia need to be identified and voted out. They are puppets of the empire.

@coin@asimon.org @jrballesteros05@social.linux.pizza Man, Drew's still upset at Vaxry? Last year he wrote about burning out, yet he keeps on doing his best to be involved in as much drama as he can, it makes little sense to me.

As for Vaxry being banned by #CoC misuse, that's kind of the entire goal of having a CoC. Never trust a project that has a CoC, and always assume bad faith from anyone pushing for it. A CoC has never improved any community in any situation, and it never will.

You only think the other side is more brainwashed than your side because you pay more attention to them.
