Suck overflow confirmed?

True. But a better base is still a better base. And this is excellent to see regardless.

Possible. In free cads defense I started learning blender in 1996. Didn’t really get proficient till 2012 lol. Though I have used AutoCAD fine. But that was way back in 1994 under DOS.

Yes, I would like to use freecad. And for reference I love blender and use it almost daily. The freecad interface and work flow just kind of bounce me off them so far. I can sculpt, model, paint, rig and edit video in blender. Right now getting started making a basic part in freecad seems like black magic.

Yep, all over the local BBS and fidonet.

People are being born every day. Not everyone has been around since the 60s and 70s or nerdy AF.

Honestly with the way meta is playing the states with this. I could easily see them paying someone to do this. Just look at all the ignorant reactionary people this is stirring up. Attacking projects made of volunteer devs. It’s a good way to possibly hobble or even kill some projects. As the devs aren’t being paid enough to handle the BS from either end.

I can synpathize with the devs as they are simply taking the minimal steps they can. To avoid being targeted by these failing states. But yeah, what’s this guys story. Someone suddenly contributing so narrowly to such a broad slate of projects isn’t common.

Yep, only in my 50s but this is correct. All the shit under Reagan, Nixon etc, decades of meddling in the middle east before that. A century of oppressing South America. All the labor struggles. It’s like the increase in the diagnosed cases of autism. The number of cases didn’t increase. Only our awareness.

There were some decent games. What killed it for me was the layout. Constantly bumping the power switch mid game. It happened so often.

Krita is awesome. Tablet options not so much. Many Intel based tablets are rather heavy and clunky comparatively, or have poor digitization. Touch screens aren’t the same as digitizer pen support. Some like the surface tablets are proprietary enough that you have to jump through many tech hoops just to set it up. And then there’s the cost. You can do it but its expensive in money and time. It has to be something you want to do for yourself. Because it will not make monetary or otherwise.

Android tablets are again loaded down with tech hurdles. Can they be unlocked? How hard is it? And what special hardware might you need to do it? Then you have to consider how hard is it to flash a different operating system onto it. And finally, how much of the proprietary hardware is just not going to work, and is that a deal breaker.

There is a version of Krita for Android. But the few devices I have that can launch it. The UI is unusable. Everything else works. You just have to fight the UI hard.

I got an older ARM based chrome tab for about 40 dollars. Went through the hoops to put postmarket is on it. Only the camera doesn’t work. But the 4GB of ram is the biggest bottleneck. CPU cores are fine. But just sitting idle at the desktop a little under 1/8 of the ram is already used up. Open Firefox or chrome and you are already swapping hard likely. Krita works well with the USF pen support. But the ram again is a heavy limit on document size. It’s definitely not for most people.

I desperately would love a good affordable Linux tablet platform. KDE plasma’s touch experience has been really good. Not perfect, but most of the hitches are edge enough cases in daily use. If someone would make a shell with just a full HD screen and pen support capable of using a compute module SOC. Raspberry pi or other compatible SOC. That would almost be ideal as long as they could meet a decent price point. Which is always the thing that tends to kill these concepts.

Not in Mexico, but similar incidents led to the labor movement in the United States. But it doesn’t matter where on earth you are. If the bourgeoisie thinks you’re a threat, they’ll handle you similarly.

Sadly we’ve seen it before. And we’ll see it again. Just little bits of history repeating.

Echo chambers and social media have laid bare the hubris of human nature. He just went from being a private pos to a public one. There are good icons. You can spot them because they’ve always been open with their politics. Not just finding their voice in support of rising fascism.

Cenk Uygur’s nephew? Yeah, he’s privileged. And definitely has held some stupid positions. Though looking at Cenk it may run in the family.

But he can’t compete with Asmon. Hasan whether or not I agree with him, is consistent and often on the right side of many issues. Asmon can’t claim that.

It’s a hierarchy of hate. Asmeinkamph gobbles up conspiracy theories of all stripes. He’s a parrot. He parrots antisemitism, but he hates Muslims more. Viewing Israel as token “good ones” basically cheering them on. There’s no consistency or logic to it.

Some of the most fun I ever had playing video games was on Grindy, Korean MMOs run by horrible companies with limited content and bugs out the ass. Emergent gameplay can trump almost everything.

It was bewildering to me that he was a popular WoW streamer. But at least he had some basic knowledge there. His turn to politics, something he has never studied and personally asserts he doesn’t need to study. Because he’s somehow an expert in human behavior. Despite never seeing a psychology or sociology text. Basically just projecting his own behavior on everyone else. It’s just baffling

Are young men really this hard up for role models?

And even that was only the most visible yet surface level one of their problems.

I’m sure Mojtaba’s father will be glad to hear that.
