Please Please stop the madness! Stop using Java-script for Unix/Linux tutorials !!

As an intensive Unix and Linux user, I love to use a command-line browser. As a rule, these are links, elinks or lynx for me.

So far, they have guided me to my goal at lightning speed, are resource-saving, require little bandwidth, do not distract with unnecessary bells and whistles and, above all, they work even if the X-system fails and I have to boot without a desktop !

For me, commandline or text-based browsers are part of the Linux fire brigade and are the salvation of many users in need. But it doesn't help at all if manuals, help pages and other tutorials use Java-script!

In the example below, you can see a search query in the links browser with the parameters: "Linux close all windows commandline"

Of the 10 websites shown in the search results, 7 (!) could not be displayed at all because of Javascript, 2 did not really correspond to the parameters and only one (the github page) had a corresponding readable answer.

Does that make sense?
Absolutely not!!

Therefore, an anxious request:

Dear Tutorial Content Creators, Dear OS Developers please stop using Javascript or at least provide a plain text or html option, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Design for 3D Printing, An Excellent Article
It's wonderful when people take the time to share the expertise they've developed. Even more so when the resulting article is filled with FreeCAD screenshots.

Fabulous FreeCAD user Rahix has put together this impressive long read (80 mins) over on their blog. It's a collection of knowledge relating to various areas of 3D printing and it's an amazing read! Thanks @rahix blog.freecad.org/2025/05/08/de

I was manually looking for #OCL #courses (via a classical Google search, yes, some of us still do it from time to time) to complement the info we got from our hashtag#teaching #ocl online form ⬇️

📋modeling-languages.com/teachin You still have the time to fill it! ✍️

And my overall impression is that:

❌ Very few institutions teach OCL.
❌ Even worse, I feel there are less and less. Indeed, when searching online, I get quite a lot of old results from courses that were offered at some point (many around 15-20 years ago) but have since then disappeared (I guess replaced by, among others, sexier AI related topics).
❌ The tooling situation is one of the key factors (as reported also in the comments of the post linked above).
✅ I'm hoping that our online OCL tool (see github.com/BESSER-PEARL/B-OCL-, led by Fitash Ul Haq, PhD and now part of our #web #modeling #editor editor.besser-pearl.org/ ) and free #tutorials can be useful if any of you wants to give OCL a second chance.

Because if not OCL, then what? 🤔
