Don’t you dare suggest FreeCAD.

I have a Hope/Hate relationship with FreeCAD. Sometimes I can get it to do something useful and I get hopeful. Then I try to do something simple and ruin the entire design and have to start from scratch and I curse the developers lineage for all of time. I want it to be great, and it is closer than it has ever been. But it isn’t a replacement for professional design suites.

You’ve convinced me that we need more users given the high number of current posters who like to criticize others with insults reminiscent of a bratty 5th grader. We need to dilute that voice.

That’s a very capitalist take. Remember how good things used to be? That’s how good the Fediverse is now. We don’t want it to grow or die. If it grows, great. If it doesn’t, great. Quality over quantity, imo.

Especially in games with a single player campaign. Left click, left click, R, reloading, aaand I’m dead.miscle memory is a bitch.

We just spent way too much on a new couch and we had three requirements:

1. It had to fit our space.
2. It had to be easily cleanable.
3. Tennis balls could not fit under it.

Those last two were specifically because our dogs belong on the couch with us. They are partners in our life’s journey.

(Warning: gets dark from here)

If you’ve ever had to hold your dog as it was dying and have any ounce of humanity, every dog you meet from then on will be treated like the precious gift they are. There will be no doubt when my dogs pass that they were loved and had the best life I could give them. Dirty couch be damned.

Excuse me, I have to go aggressively snuggle my doodle.

OpenAI marketing > MIT analysis, apparently

And someone being proven objectively wrong has always led to an amicable resolution.

You’re right. I’m just saying that doesn’t matter.

I think that those who would tolerate the additional “effort” of solving the puzzle of joining Lemmy have already done so. Reddit may drive more people away but unless Lemmy becomes somehow more accessible there won’t be an influx, IMO.

That said, I think it is a good thing. I know I don’t want Lemmy to be a clone of Reddit. I like the smaller communities and the higher quality interactions I get with Lemmy users. The Reddit “circle jerk” meta was fun but got tiresome and felt like it was spiraling to a lowest common denominator.

Not sure why you’re getting down voted… These things are true. Maybe amended to “way too complex for most people to easily understand” would be less controversial.

The vast majority of people’s relationship with technology ends with an email address and a credit card. Here on Lemmy there tends to be a more sophisticated understanding of social media and the underlying social and technical aspects. But the idea that you have to do anything more than decide to join something and at most you need an email and a credit card would be a significant barrier to entry for most.

“I think if I had a million dollars I could hook that up.”

All useless stats. I want to know my rank in those categories. Or maybe percentile. Maybe that’s my boomer toxic trait, but I want to know how I stack up.

The other thing that continually surprises me is how they get away with accusing others of the things they are doing. No creativity, no strategy, no actual sleuthing to find hidden skeletons. Just “Nuh uh, you’re the one doing the bad thing we just did.”

The fact that it works blows my mind and is a big part of how I know we’re well and truly fucked as a country.

And disabled by default. You’re not consumer friendly until it is opt-in.

I’m hearing a lot about zero trust infrastructure lately and I wonder if this is the reason - the desire to eliminate VPNs. I honestly don’t know enough about IT to know if that even makes sense but it wouldn’t surprise me if these big corpos see the writing on the wall and are figuring out how to work sans VPN.

Is the woman on the right Daria all grown up? I didn’t realize how bad I want that until now.

You convinced me. Have an internet point.

I can’t even click onto the article. Anyone who puts any stock in polls is living in a fantasy world. The activity is as flawed as the system it is looking to measure. We might as well be asking oracles or soothsayers. If the polls had any credibility we wouldn’t be living in the Trump dystopia, several times over.

Do I know the song automatically? Or like, do I have to defeat someone in single combat to get to learn the song?

I can teleport instantly to any location I have previously visited.
