Came a long way since pre 2.8

Just because there is no better open source browser doesn't mean it fits the description of OP's list

I just started making some headway into using it and I've found it way less intuitive than Fusion. It also seems to be more finnicky about constraints and such. Like I wasn't able to extrude something because I had lines intersecting each other. Just have to be more methodical and use more sketches I guess. Im still on my first project with it though and haven't gotten to the point of printing anything yet though so take that with a grain of salt.

Same can be said about the Linux Kernel.

OpenTTD is the pinnacle of open source software. They should have stopped there

Reminds me a local youtuber saying something similar about non-profit companies.

They said it's human nature to be driven by profit, so non-profits are profiting in some other way. Hence he prefers to give business to for profit companies as you know their intentions.

Oh the irony

People at the heads of nonprofits are often highly compensated, and it's rare that any of them solve the underlying problem or even make meaningful headway. It's why there is so much "awareness" and short term band aids involved. A nonprofit that solves the problem it's supposedly trying to solve has no reason to exist and will cost people well paying jobs managing it.

I'd doing something that makes you happy is a kind of profiting then he is right. But he is probably not that wholesome.

This article goes over the git diff when it happened. This blog post from Mozilla themselves is them not removing the ML tools, but giving users a "kill switch" option for the tools.

Well unfortunately he's right. Most non-profit companies are profiting off of things like your donations and such like that. You look at the Susan g Komen foundation for breast cancer awareness. Something like 5% maybe 10% of all donated funds actually go to breast cancer research. The rest of the funds are used to fund the staff including those that are in charge of the board. And they have massive paydays.

🪟: absolutely atrocious. let's do for-profit low quality software instead 😡

Find the rhino pics!

I wouldn't call a lot if those "high quality"

IDK, but I'd rather be the beta tester for some open source project, or even contribute code to it (I fixed a language server this way), than to pay premium for a software, which I won't "own", has a bunch of microtransactions, and becomes lower and lower in quality.

Like which ones?

Ngl if those are "bad quality" I don't know what my personal projects are.
Even accounting for how self-critical I am with my old code.

Blender is abso-freaking-great, I just wish they would have been less pokey pokey with the UI over the years.

Search: how do i do X in blender

Answer: Ctrl-Alt-Shift-_

Me: Doesn't work

Answer: bobbit menu, right pane, third box down

Me: Not there

Answer: Rightclick from x mode and press Y

Me: Not there

We're always on some ancient Kali version and Windows XP to 10, and once we used some Linux Distro I'd never heard of in my life. The software is Autopsy, OSForensics, ProDiscover Basic 64, Hex Workshop, and more, a bonus one being IceWeasel (now known as GNU IceCat?). I genuinely want to gouge my eyes out when looking at the old Kali.

There are tons of alternative ways for you to sync notes. I have used it for so long without spending a dime.

I mean, there's no such thing as a good copy of Microsoft's ribbon interface.

What method are you using? I have Nextcloud running but it's not great on android and I can only sync notes from my PC not create them on the phone. I've heard syncthing works well but their android app is sketchy too last I saw.

Librowolf is not a fork, just a set of patches on top of Firefox stable.

I think you misread "only office" as "open office". Though, you typed both in your reply... 🤔

Aw. Thanks. I honestly think there is tons of potential for Linux nerds to understand the problems with capitalist modes of production because of their direct exposure to its massive contradictions.

I mean, when I worked for Cisco and they sold the exact same hardware as an "upgrade" to older hardware I saw this first hand.

We literally had sections in the code that would check the EEPROM for a flag to enable the upgrade through software. Literally the same hardware with a single bit in the EEPROM being swapped from a 1 to a 0. So we could sell the same hardware twice.

If that doesn't make you realize something is fundamentally wrong with how software is used under capitalist modes of production. Well, nothing will.

I used to just use a cloud service like you years ago, but try sync them through GitHub, there is a 1gb limit on private repositories though, but it should be fine as long as you don't put videos and sounds in there.

I'd say so! I made some 3D-printed pipes to connect my snake's terrarium extension as my first real project and they turned out pretty good. But I have no comparisons to other CAD software haha

Tux, FF and VLC have been dailies in my life for over a decade. Many MANY thanks to them, and to ALL those pipple.

ah shit. you're right. sr moment. what the fuck is only office?

Tbf I haven't used either extensively (or at least the features I've used in either have been very basic one), but I haven't had any issues with OpenOffice. What are some of the issues you're referring to in OpenOffice? Personally I tend to prefer it because I just think it looks nicer, but clearly there are some issues with it I'm unaware of.

Edit: Nvm, I'm mixing up OnlyOffice and OpenOffice. Never even heard of OpenOffice before...

Haha classic.

Good info in this comment

It's been over 10 years since I tried it, but at that time it was common for OpenOffice to have compatibility issues with MS office formats, but those issues were already fixed in LibreOffice.

Intuition is based on experience i guess. Blender was the first non-CAD modelling software i used, and i quickly learned that the search tool in blender is the primary UI gateway. Made everything really quick and easy to find, and any questions I have had was answered by the great community around Blender.

If you are insinuating that the last time a phone was made with a replaceable battery was 2015, that's factually wrong, there aren't many but there are still a few. Not sure why everyone is so annoyed at me asking a simple question. :)

Are you talking about the bugs or the delay? For the delay I just tried last week actually. I always run a few browsers side by side out of necessity, and watching how much longer I wait for spinning loading icons on Firefox made me real sad. I can't afford the small but real delay. Life is too short for that. Anyone who can stomach the slowdown, I praise you for your ideals, genuine respect.

I do have a git server, I didn't even think of that. I'll check it out. Thanks.

Isn't that sort of an issue with LibreOffice today though? At least in the sense that there are features in for example Microsoft Word where, if you use them in a document, and then open that document in LibreOffice Writer, it won't render correctly/won't function? I struggle to give you an example because it was a along time since I tried to do that, but I have definitely run into some compatibility issues there, on the side of LibreOffice. Maybe you're referring to something else though?

Edit: Nvm, I'm mixing up OnlyOffice with OpenOffice. Never used OpenOffice, don't even know what it is.

Talking about delays. For Mozilla products, yea, they have bugs, I trust you on this and have experienced it haha

What websites? Some are optimized for specific browser types and probably shouldn’t be accounted for as it’s not really the browser's fault: TikTok on web for example

I’ve used both Brave and Firefox and apart from specific websites, I’ve never really seen a difference. But if it’s still slower that’s good to know, but most people seem to disagree with you.

Frankly, anyways I personally prefer wasting a few minutes of my life every day and life my life the way I want it to be, supporting better software and protecting my privacy and anonymity rather than going all Google or the easy route. That’s why I use FOSS software.

If accessibility is a part of quality, I think we have not much to be proud
We're losing visually impaired people

Thank you!!
