Now that version 1.0 has been released, FreeCAD is a great opensouce CAD program for Windows, Mac & Linux.

I'm looking for the "remove program remnants" video. I lost the instructions and I need to find remnants for a couple of programs. It would be nice if there was a list of the system changing programs that are in your videos. Thanks

3rd Base? I didn't know you rolled like that.

Great video Brett, I'm definitely familiar with Blender and have used it on a couple of occasions. I also have Plex Media Server and have some friends that use it as well.

I like Panopreter Basic, for text to speech conversion or just reading out text, in various languages. Very useful for finding out what your written attempts at (in my case) Russian ought to sound like. Well, it won't match a proper teacher, but it's bound to be a lot better than what I could do myself …

Recent versions of Libre's IU are much improved.

Blender is the goat 🐐 of open source softwares

Brackets is indeed great, but it was discontinued in late 2023 and nowadays has been replaced by Phoenix Code editor….the two UIs are pretty much identical, but with Brackets you will no longer get any bug fixes or new features.

Thanks, this is exactly what I was thinking? But I found on Reddit ... "Considering the magnitude of the changes we are doing, we will be keeping Brackets 2.x(legacy) separate in maintenance and security support mode till we iron out all the workflows with phcode IDE (over the year 2024)." "In summary, this year, if you are a web developer or designer seeking advanced features such as HTML/JS/TS language support, editable Live previews, testing frameworks, terminal and Git integration, AI and sophisticated workflows, you should transition to the phcode IDE as soon as it becomes available. However, if your needs are more quick and simple HTML/CSS/JS editing, wait for the new, lightweight Brackets editor, which is expected to be available next year. Both will co exist and suit different needs." I wish someone at Brackets or PHCode would make this clear on the front page of the website what is it's current state? Because I'm confused as an outsider? For me this now sounds like, 1. Has Brackets been discontinued? 2. But there is a Brackets continued fork on GitHub? 3. I thought phCode would replace Brackets? 4. But this comment is implying that a new lightweight Brackets editor will be released alongside phCode in 24/25? 🙃😄

Does anyone know an alternative for ublock origin for chrome?

[@GTSilvano]

Ghostery

[@Ptaaruonn]

@@GTSilvano Thank you.

[@TehPlayground]

google is changing how the api works so most of the adblocks will break or not work as originally intended. the developer of ublock origin made a compatible version to this new api "ublock origin lite". i would suggest using it or switching to firefox... where ublock origin still works perfectly.

[@Plaseebo]

ublock origin lite is specially designed for chrome by same ubo team

[@Ptaaruonn]

@@Plaseebo Thank you.
