@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. forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?…

@NovaTechie_Y2K Thanks for the feedback. Perhaps @oshcfii could weigh-in here?

@FreeCADNews it was a huge disappoint for me to know that I can't run cfd in mac. The installation process is not straight forward, if anything exists, and fails! Anyone out there who knows how to do this?

@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.

@SebDominguez Hey @oshcfii how do you get around this on macOS?

@FreeCADNews is there a way to make the constraints icons bigger without affecting the font size? The icons are stupidly small on Retina displays…

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”

@flying_briann It’s the rocking chairs.

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. archive.org/details/ArmyTa… h/t @HC_Richardson

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.

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

@SameOldShane Feel Better, my friend!

So bad case of covid (and still have it) a week before my birthday. Take out delivery birthday meal gave me food poisoning. Changed a light in the ceiling, coughing fit and the glass cover fell n caught the corner of my eye. I was a gift receipt from fate, I don't like her gifts.

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 thegrio.com/2024/10/22/dow…

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 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

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

The blue site is popping off so I’ll probably be more active there @themitch22.bsky.social (there’s no political ads and crypto junk so far)

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!

@Mainly_Mark @ChuckHellebuyck @Delta Possibly repositioning between Delta hubs for MSP int’l departure.

@ChuckHellebuyck @Delta Was it full? Why the heck are they flying a wide body on a domestic route?

Flew on big @Delta Airbus A350. Huge plane but worst seats I’ve ever had. Like sitting on a sheet of plywood with almost no cushion. Wifi didn’t work. Landing gear sounded like it had issues. Landing was really rough. Glad to be off this thing.
