I guess there's an interesting contrast with today where in the 90s trying to Make The Computer Work was sort of an exercise in collaboration, like you and the computer were together trying to make compute happen. Whereas today it feels like the computer is your enemy. You are fighting it.

Question: when using BrickLink Studio and importing LDR files, is there a way to have the main file reference custom external LDR files? I tried several ways that works with other tools and they fail or get stuck with Studio, and I found no answer on the internet. Thanks! #Lego

Hey, #ruby folks! I've been one of the #RubyGems maintainers for the last decade.

Ruby Central has forcefully taken control of the RubyGems organization on GitHub, the `rubygems-update` and `bundler` gems on rubygems[.]org, and more.
