  • OnShape is my go-to. It’s what I taught my students when I was a TA for an introductory engineering class at college, and they could pick it up in about a day.

    Can do just about anything a “professional” cad suite does, but it’s free, works in a browser, and is generally so much better designed so you don’t have to fight against the UI to get anything done.




  • If I see a URL like this, I, and… polling my coworkers here… All 52 coworkers on my group chat would say these are highly suspicious and would not click on them. I imagine this is the general consensus for internet-savvy people.

    • I’m happily reading a post on Reddit, and see a link like that: clearly dangerous.
    • I’m happily reading a post on Lemmy, and see a link like that: probably dangerous, but possibly a Lemmy instance? Impossible to tell. I want to read Lemmy, not whatever “stoneclub” is.

    It would be great if links to remote Lemmy instances had some kind of styling applied; a little icon, etc., that would make it clear this link is within the fediverse.
