I had no idea what I was going to create with Blender and also because of that I never knew how to use this software, even though this is a free and open-source. Rather than eating up storage I just uninstalled it. I'm not a graphic designer right, so thank you.

You know, Blender was one of the first programmes I installed on my sister's laptop not long after my mother and I bought it, it was in April 2023. Well, I thought I might use it later but it seems I never used it until I uninstalled it in April 2026.

It is soooo satisfying to continue ditching/purging enshittified Microsoft, Adobe, etc. products for high quality open-source software without missing a beat. Things like LibreOffice, Gimp, OmniTools, etc.

And to be clear, I’m a LaTeX person. I’ve never seriously used that weird thing called Word.

Ten simple rules for good model-sharing practices

Computational models are complex scientific constructs that have become essential for us to better understand the world. Many models are valuable for peers within and beyond disciplinary boundaries. However, there are no widely agreed-upon standards for sharing models. This paper suggests 10 simple rules for you to both (i) ensure you share models in a way that is at least “good enough,” and (ii) enable others to lead the change towards better model-sharing practices.

I am looking to improve my use of #brew on #osX - having installed #Ventura on a 2012 #macpro unibody

In the past, I would search the #CLI or happen to know/find out that an application I use was on Brew.

I tried installing some Brew #GUI tools this evening, but none were that great (TBH). I could search for packages or casks, but ones I knew are out there were not listed in the results - very frustrating.

How do folks find things in the Brew ecosystem, Is there an easier way to find applications within the Brew ecosystem?

Is there a way to script or automate my normal application installs with Brew?
