Are they going to rewrite Back Orifice in Rust? :-D

I'm going to try with an awful language so I can better criticise it in future.

and could be handled as exceptions.

Indeed. The original comment was

the point should be to force public institutions to use FOSS

So it sounds like you agree with me that that is dumb. Use of FOSS should be strongly encouraged, but to force it is masochistic.

Ok first impressions:

  1. Rotate is Shift-Right-Click?? Very weird default choice. Most programs use middle-click.
  2. I created a simple sketch with a couple of slots. Surprisingly smooth! Vastly improved from when I last tried it. Still not quite as good as SolveSpace for sketch creation, but to be fair SolveSpace was originally created to demo of a state of the art sketch solver... I couldn't find the Dimension tool, but guessed the shortcut was D, which was correct.
  3. Extrude is misnamed as "Pad". Why?
  4. Clone icon is a sheep :-D - actually the icons are all pretty great.
  5. Cut is called "Pocket"?? Actually the icon for this is not great. Minor issue though.

I only made a very simple part, but I am impressed. This is significantly better than when I last tried it, when it basically didn't work at all. I haven't tried assemblies or anything complex (e.g. extruding up to a non-flat surface, degenerate geometry etc.), but definitely for simple tasks you could use it.

A phonetic spelling would also only be more digestible to readers who know the language the phonetic spelling is tailored at

Indeed, it would be digestible to 1.5 billion people instead of 100k.

Gitea is a fork of Gogs.

An invented language that hardly anyone uses. More people speak Welsh then Esperanto and it's exactly as useful.

I tried FreeCAD years ago and it sucked balls. The best FOSS CAD software that I currently know of is SolveSpace.

However it has been a few years. Maybe they discovered UX... I will give it another try and report back!

I pronounce it "that gogs fork with a dumb name".

They are recording what the police do and say. It clearly doesn't make a difference that the camera is technically pointing away from them. Do you think this person would have been ok with wearing a corporate bodycam because it isn't pointing at her? No obviously not.

The thing that is different is that police have control of it, and they generally only use it in public where there's no expectation of privacy, and they're the bloody police and have guns and kill people!

Yes that is a good rule but the problem is he doesn't just respectfully criticise behaviour, he rudely attacks it. "This code doesn't meet the standards we require" is ok. "Your code is garbage. Again!" is absolutely not.

Imagine if you said that at work. That's a trip to HR anywhere I've worked.
