Article note: The Gnome folk's "Let's break the ecosystem to support oUr ViSiOn, then act condescending to anyone who complains" behavior has been going on for over a decade. I essentially stopped using xfce as my daily driver because of trickle-down brain damage, and they just keep breaking more things. At least KDE has been generally good lately.

Article note: Interesting. OpenCASCADE geometry with SolveSpace's constraint solver, glued together by the HorizonEDA guy. FreeCAD >0.19 isn't _as_ horrible as people like to act, but I always like to see reasonable options in the FOSS CAD space. I compiled and made a quick NEMA17 mount plate just to jam a dimensioned thing in to it, it has some quirks about commit vs. cancel and not entering input fields when I expect, but the basic experience seems pretty decent.
