FreeCAD needs contributions to help it reach 1.0.

A barbaric nation with devilish monarchy that other nations support just because of their oil money. Anybody whose government supports them should feel ashamed.

Is that a DSRV (Deep submersible rescue vessel)?

The problem isn't that FOSS projects are getting abandoned. The problem is the consumer mindset where FOSS projects are considered as the free (gratis) equivalent of proprietary software - a well packaged and eternally maintained ware that you just install and run. This is a convention that bigtech cultivated in order to get free labor and support.

The original free (libre) software philosophy was designed with sharing in mind. Somebody writes software to scratch an itch - i.e solve their own or someone else's problem. And then they leave the source code for others to adapt and use. You found a software that you like, but is abandoned? No problem! Just take it, update it and use it. I have done this. Don't know how to code? Ask someone else to do it for you - perhaps for a price.

People rarely use them in real life, but ISO 8601 and RFC 3339 (both are almost identical) are the most natural ways of writing date and time. Just like how we write numbers, their components are written from left to right in the decreasing order of significance: yyyy-mm-ddTHH:MM:SS. I like it by default for precisely the reason you mentioned - sorting. It even helps quick visual comparisons.

My clock says the time is 45:09:00. Should feel so natural to anyone in the US, right?

Google has kicked up such a revolt that I find it easy to convince everyone to use Firefox. If they think they can keep abusing their userbase like this, then they are in for a surprise.

Hey! Don't let them know that they're doing the world a favor! You know - the 'don't be evil' thing.

Oh! come on! How hard is it to social distance in a tetrahedron?
