    I know there are other options. It was just hypothetical.

    But no way. Just building the prusa mini was way harder than I thought. Took me days and I messed up many things. I wouldn’t try something even harder. Not that I have any way of having a 3d printer anymore… I’m trying to sell my prusa because of that. But I’ll stop trying to convince people to buy prusa.


  • There’s the choice of not selling this. It’s not like it will be crucial to them.

    I’m sure there are a lot of areas in spying software, for instance, that israel offer unique and lucrative products. But I have the choice to invest on something else instead.

    We’re talking about genocidal maniacs here. There’s not a lot of excuses to support them.

    The vast majority of their population doesn’t care about the genocide, the vast majority served in the military, there are almost no civilians in that invasion.

    Why would you, if you have any ethics, partner with people with a massive chance of being pro genocide unless there is no other option in the world?

    Also if it’s money going to their economy, to be converted directly into dead bodies.

    I had noticed how their ethical standard seemed to be going down from the kind of spam from them I’ve been getting. But I held then to such high regard for their old open source contributions that I refused to believe.

    Thanks a lot for that into. I think I’m convinced now. No one with any ethics would partner with any Israeli company unless there was literally no other choice in the world.

    I’d rather use proprietary products.


  • Yeah, I don’t know. I know that there are softwares specific for invoicing but I’ve never used one, nor did I use to send too many invoices. Most of the time I was an employee, doing some other freelances, so it wasn’t too much to keep track.

    I used Inkscape because I was more used to it, working with graphics most of my life. LibreOffice is probably easier. But I don’t know how that’s supposed to be done with proprietary softwares either.

    Hopefully someone with more experience on this can help him.


  • What software do you use?

    I worked with 3D for decades and Blender replaced almost everything. The performance is actually better on Linux. I personally use Linux mint, but regarding software it barely matters what distro you use nowadays.

    But support, compatibility, ease of use can vary a lot. I haven’t used another distro for many years so I can’t say much.

    If you rely on autodesk and adobe stuff you will probably suffer. But personally I would say it’s deserved because there are not a lot of companies more evil than them. The sooner you start trying alternatives the better.

    Invoicing I just used inkscape but it’s not great. Be prepared to make some sacrifices, but it’s all worthy to get rid of microsoft.
