       like, that's exactly mirrored as to what it looks like on the front. that's not good. not good at all.

       @cmb if you put it on the back side of course it mirrors it (as seen from the front). that's how you make it properly oriented.Or is it failing to do so?

       @azonenberg nevermind, the footprint was bad.

       @cmb Aaand this is why I don't use third party footprints.At least if I screw up I can blame myself for messing up :PI see third party footprints as the same kind of productivity risk as LLM slop (though slightly less likely) - there's a temptation to just ship it and call it good, but doing a proper job of vetting takes almost as much time as just making it from scratch yourself in a way you can trust
