I’ve started using FreeCAD for CAD work, I’ve used Fusion 360 for 5 years before trying FreeCAD (again, I tried it a few years ago) and it works pretty good.

It’s different and it’s taking some getting used to but it’s working out quite nicely so far.

Slavery never ended in the US, it just got better PR.

“Only prisoners can be sentenced to slave labor.”

Makes a while bunch of stuff punishable by prison time and makes prison sentences longer.

And not just memes and shitposts you find elsewhere

Make things and share

It ain’t gonna be perfect but that’s half the fun

I’d say there’s also some corners of Lemmy that feel like the slightest provocation leads to an absolute dog pile of people being super angry looking for a fight.

That aspect blows but it’s usually helped by making sure that the instance your account is on is federated (or specifically NOT federated) with specific other instances.

Though this place is so much more chill than Reddit it’s fucking mindblowing

Holy fuck!

That’s fucking awful!

How I’d do it is basically

72 * (10+3)

(72 * 10) + (72 * 3)

(720) + (3*(70+2))

(720) + (210+6)

(720) + (216)

936

Basically I break the numbers apart into easier chunks and then add them together.

On the note of “keeping your phone in airplane mode”:

No Bluetooth enabled devices is a good point too.

Those devices broadcast identifiable data whenever Bluetooth is enabled, and that data can be logged very easily. If an app has Bluetooth permissions it has the capability of logging that info. Or a simple device that logs nearby Bluetooth devices. About 2 years ago I placed a device in my apartment next to a road and within a week I had the habits of my neighbors logged with accurate timestamps. I took that device apart after that, it’s a macropad now.

So for the sake of privacy, no Bluetooth headphones, watches, etc near your “Go bag” phone when it has a battery in it. IMO avoid such devices in general.

I’m liking Linux Mint and Kubuntu personally.

Especially Kubuntu for my main desktop PC, Linux Mint for my little clunker PC I use to run my 3D printers.

Keep talking about it abroad

Drinking soap makes my stomach upset and drinking alcohol makes me upset, that means I’m a human right?

Basically Lightroom is for editing photos in a specific format, there’s a couple alternatives that work well on Linux. Primarily Darktable and RawTherapee.

It’s really good at what it does and is basically an industry standard.

But Adobe being Adobe I really want to stop giving them money but I need to replace it first.

Mine that’s still on Windows is while I’m transitioning away from Lightroom.

It’s the only thing left at this point that’s holding me there.

I would just dual boot a system for when I need to use it but I really wanna stop using Adobe software for a number of reasons.

I’ve already switched my mom and grandma to Linux, and I’ve personally only got 1 PC still on Windows. Its days are numbered though.

I’m shocked!

Shocked I tell you!

Only 60%‽

Blows my mind that it’s so low.

Basically there was a huge amount of porn spam posts being made and comments to a bunch of threads in this community

I had completely forgotten about those movies!

Cheesy action flicks that I remember loving, I’ve got to watch them again

Thank you for reminding me that they exist!

Yeah this community is getting blasted with porn

Report, block, and hope it’s not too many accounts

I’m definitely happy I didn’t open Lemmy until I got home from work today

Edit: And even this thread it seems.

God the fear of accidentally sleeping through the alarm would probably keep me from sleeping at all

“When you hear the beeping you need to swap out the battery because if you don’t you’ll die. Goodnight.”

It feels more human over here (if that makes sense lol)

And yeah after my initial break from Reddit it definitely feels more insufferable over there.

This is also one of my alts, I’ve a few but none are used as much as this one by a long shot.

I think since coming over here I’ve done like 2 dozen comments and a handful of posts (on Reddit), but considering I used to post and comment as much as I do here but over there I’d say that’s a lot of progress.

I’ve done over 3k comments and over 3 hundred posts here since joining in June of 2023.
