So, work and home.
Work, therefore Windows: has to be a tie between (new) Outlook and VMWare workstation. New outlook is absolute crap, just like all new windows app, I guess it must be Electron-based as it crashes or fails to load sometimes when you open it without connecting to the internet, and displays a blank window. VMware is such crap with poor performance, hang-ups and their fucking "this VM is already in use, take ownership?" dialogs that never work.
Home: I'd say FreeCAD. I mean, I love that they're developing it, I donated and I hope it'll have a similar trajectory to Blender, but right now it's really frustrating to use. Frequent crashes, solving errors, even adding a simple bevel is often a challenge, many simple things require complex procedures that make little sense to new users. It's crazy how, when you add a feature it can't solve, your model just disappears, and you have to open up the diagnostic buffer to find out why.

How Hackers Use NPMSCan.com to Hack Web Apps (Next.js, Nuxt.js, React, Bun)
- Writeup on how attackers can abuse npmscan-style scanners and public npm metadata to map vulnerable dependencies in typical Next.js / Nuxt.js / React apps, then turn that insight into real exploits in production.
- Walkthrough of a sample audit, showing how weak dependency hygiene, risky postinstall scripts, and misconfigured CI/CD pipelines combine into an easy supply‑chain entry point for web applications.
- Includes a checklist for web devs on safer dependency management, from scanning package.json before installs to hardening build pipelines so npm supply‑chain attacks are harder to pull off.

Under Blockade, Gaza’s Doctors to Unveil the First-Ever Locally Made 3D-printed External Fixator, Built with Solar Power and Recycled Materials
Gaza Strip, Palestine/London, Ontario, Canada – In an unprecedented breakthrough for medical innovation under siege, Glia, a medical solidarity organization, has developed and deployed the first external fixator (a critical orthopedic device for severe fractures) ever designed and manufactured entirely inside the Gaza Strip. Created using local materials, 3D printing, recycled plastics, and solar power, the device has already saved three patients from possible amputation or permanent disability amid the near-total collapse of Gaza’s healthcare infrastructure and blockade on medical imports.
This achievement comes as over 90% of Gaza’s health facilities are damaged or destroyed, and conventional external fixators — costing upwards of $500 and requiring specialized imports — have become unobtainable due to the Israeli blockade. With hospitals overwhelmed, electricity scarce, and supply chains severed, Glia’s fixator represents a lifeline born from necessity.

Filament splicing? Do any of you guys do it?
I was getting rid of some spool ends the other day by manually feeding them in while printing. That way I was able to push all these ends past any sensors and into the extruder for uninterrupted printing. It came out fine but was quite tedious.
So this got me thinking: Do any of you guys splice filaments? Not only would this allow for more efficient material use, but I suspect a print made from a bunch of small segments of different colors could look kinda cool.
I'm primarily printing with PETG, so my question is specifically about that, but I'm sure the concept should work for other filaments too.
You still waste some filament, to be precise the length from the MMU unit inlet gates to the extruder, but whatever.

Trump’s 20-point plan has been endorsed by an assortment of Arab and Islamic states and Mahmoud Abbas, the deeply unpopular 90-year old head of the Palestinian Authority (PA), but it has been rejected by a wide cross section of other Palestinian political factions and parties.“It’s an Israeli plan that has been rebranded as a Trump plan,” said Diana Buttu, a human rights lawyer who previously served as an advisor to Palestinian negotiators. “All of the guarantees are being given to Israel, but there’s no guarantees that are given to Palestinians. The fact [is] that all of the control rests in the hands of Israel. No control is ceded to anybody else; it looks to me entirely like an Israeli plan that was rebranded as a Trump plan—not the other way around,” Buttu told Drop Site. “It was a plan that was designed to ease the pressure off of Israel and, at the same time, let Israel continue to kill Palestinians—let them try to ethnically cleanse Gaza. It exactly matches what Israel said from the beginning.”

Details of Premier’s ties to businessman underscore need for public probe, Alberta NDP says
The Globe and Mail's Carrie Tait, Tom Cardoso, and Matthew Scace, reveal that Sam Mraiche, an alleged central figure in the CorruptCare scandals, had deeper ties to Premier Smith than previously acknowledged. I'll include the highlights from the article, but it's worth a read.
The Globe’s investigation, published Saturday, revealed that Mr. Mraiche’s connections to the governing United Conservative Party are more extensive than previously reported.
...
Ms. Smith, speaking to reporters at the United Conservative Party’s annual meeting in Edmonton on Saturday, maintained that she treated Mr. Mraiche just as she would any other executive.“I have always said that I have seen him socially a handful of times, as I have with many, many individuals who want to do business with our government.”
...
In a letter MHCare sent to the government in April, it said: “The unspectacular truth is that Mr. Mraiche’s interactions with government, those in elected office and senior staff fit entirely within the established parameters of typical government relations for the CEO of a commercial entity.”
...
The investigation, for example, found that Mr. Mraiche joined Ms. Smith’s inner circle in a hotel suite to watch the provincial election results in May, 2023.“When you are waiting for the results to come in, especially in a close race like it was in 2023, you are surrounded only by [your] absolute closest advisers,” Mr. Nenshi said in an interview Sunday. Calgarians elected Mr. Nenshi as their mayor three times before he became leader of the NDP last year.
...
The Globe’s story on Saturday revealed that Ms. Smith’s schedule included a dinner at Mr. Mraiche’s home and a Zoom call with him and a former Alberta Health Services procurement official before she became Premier.Further, newly obtained photos show Ms. Smith, five cabinet ministers, and senior political staff with Mr. Mraiche in a box suite during the Edmonton Oilers playoff run in 2024.

Fears grow inside military over illegal orders after Hegseth authorized follow-up boat strike
There is an increasing apprehension among service members that they may be asked to carry out an illegal order, amid reports Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered troops to “kill everybody” in a boat strike in September.
The concerns, reflected in an uptick in calls to the Orders Project — which provides free legal advice to military personnel — come from the likes of staff officers involved in planning the strikes on supposed drug-carrying boats and those in charge of designating those on the vessels as a threat in order to carry out such attacks.
Even as a reported Justice Department classified memo from this summer preemptively argued that U.S. troops involved in the strikes would not be in legal jeopardy, service members appear far more concerned than usual that the U.S. military may be opening them up to legal harm, according to Frank Rosenblatt, president of the National Institute of Military Justice, which runs the Orders Project.

Linus Tech Tips Embraces Kiwi Farms
Hot off the heels of a colaboration with Linus Torvalds, we have tech youtube's favorite butterfingers... telling kiwi farms to use more slurs
reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/com…
and confirmed by mister tech tips himself reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/com…
So… he has been a pretty mask off piece of shit for years. But… damned if this isn’t a new world record for a collaboration to age into sour milk
And for those unaware of kiwi farms (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Far…), they are a website that spun out of the people who were too evil for 8chan. They have a long history of targeted harassment, doxxing, and torture of individuals (generally socially progressive and/or LGBTQIA+) until their victims commit suicide. And members often will approach their targets, or their loved ones, in public to directly deliver threats and make it clear that they have their current location. Also they have links to the Christchurch mosque shooting.
Kinda borderline for this board but if we can laugh at Marques Brownlee's nonsense then it feels fitting to let people know the guy they go to for really poorly researched videos nad error filled reviews is rubbing the proverbial hair of a bunch of murderers and terrorists For The Lulz.
And... if you are someone that kiwi farms fairly prominently attacks... maybe keep your head down until this blows over. Or don't. But as someone who has seen that level of hatred and evil in action towards one of their best friends... I get it.
- This feel out of scope for this community.
- It sounds like it was done by Linus in his personal capacity and not Linus Tech Tips channel.
Since original post on Reddit is now deleted, I'm locking this instead of removing to keep a public record.

During the Biden presidency, it was short-handed the “hug Bibi” strategy — the idea that smothering Mr. Netanyahu with unconditional support would give the U.S. leverage to influence his actions. Over the final 15 months of the Biden presidency, this approach led the White House to provide a flood of weapons for Israel’s bombardment of Palestinians, veto United Nations Security Council resolutions calling for a cease-fire, attack the International Criminal Court for pursuing charges against Mr. Netanyahu, ignore its own policies about supporting military units credibly accused of war crimes and blame Hamas for not accepting cease-fire terms that the Israeli government was also rejecting.

Testing in Fennec browser, in the little kebab menu, I see an option to sign in, but that's not what I want. I don't see anything related to profiles. When I browse to the page for the multi-account containers extension, it says not compatible w/ Android.

multitab video play pause [userscript] [OC]
I made this userscript to play multiple videos from pirate streaming sites in sync (play/pause them at the same time)
usecase:
You want to watch dubbed version of a movie (most people here probably watch in english, but may have friends or family members who don't). You find dubbed version, but in poor quality. Finding high quality english version is easy. You play the english version muted in foreground, and the dubbed version with audio in the background. With this userscript, you can play or pause them at the same time.
Not sure if anyone else finds it useful, but it' super useful for me, so I figured I'll share it here.
