I recently discovered Dune3D for simple cad. Very fun to use, and easy to learn.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects
6·8 days agoI can still barely understand the dialect where I have now lived for ~4 years. I can just about follow the topic of the conversation if I focus hard enough. And this is in the same country that I grew up in (Scotland).
It’s a very isolated place, which has allowed the old language to survive till now, though it’s only the older people that still speak it, and even then it’s likely still closer to english than their parents spoke.
In the larger towns nearby, the dialects have turned into an accent, with a few “cool” or useful words sprinkled in. The dialect here however, has different vowel and consonant sounds, maybe 30-50% different words (I’m just guessing), and a slightly different word order. Sadly it will die out in the next decade or so.
I guess this is pretty normal in some parts of the world, but quite rare in english.
And you can hide the close button by adding
.tabbrowser-tab .tab-close-button { visibility: collapse !important; }to your userChrome.css file. Works with vertical tabs too.
In Firefox you can also middle click the reload button to duplicate the tab.
Edit: other things you can middle click:
- The back and forwards buttons: does, what the buttons do in a new tab, while duplicating the tab history.
- The new tab button: open a new tab directly after the current tab (and in the same container as the current tab).
- Items in the URL bar (such as autocomplete suggestions, the thing you just typed, or your frequent pages): opens them in a new tab (at the end though for some reason)
You can also Ctrl+click all of these for the same result.
Some pages try to re-implement links in javascript, but forget about anything other than left-click.
Edit: Don’t forget Ctrl+click. Works the same as middle click in most cases.
Yes, this is also the only implementation of this I could find. I’m not sure if the cinnamon js api is capable of something similar.

Bicycles@lemmy.ca•Bicycle trailers are underrated. You can never have too many.
5·3 months agoYou’re right, there are not many hills here. Only 1 small one I had to climb. I do think that with low enough gears and enough time, hills won’t be much of a problem.
You could also do the hill in multiple trips, temporarily leaving one of the trailers behind.

Bicycles@lemmy.ca•Bicycle trailers are underrated. You can never have too many.
3·3 months agoYes… I’d love to make one myself. I have an idea for one with swappable wheels: small wheels which don’t stick up above the trailer bed (for carrying wide things), and large wheels for a less bumpy journey.
The hand cart which I have at the front is great for carrying large/wide things, but the wheels can’t handle cattle grids or rabbit holes…




Not sure what’s up with the website, but my computer was unable to handle it. Had to restart. Maybe cut down on the constant animations? A version that works without JS would be nice as well. Sounds interesting otherwise.
