I live in the second one. On purpose. I’ll never wear my debian tshirt.

If.

Wow, you’ve tried nothing and are all out of ideas!

I’ll happily supply the hacksaw to keep you occupied.

How else would you know it was doing anything?

Maybe I’ve always just felt a Roblox-shaped hole in my heart.

That’s easier to boycott than diapers, my friend.

Buying cat litter when you also need diapers and have to shop with a baby in tow? I’ll be anti-consumer next year.

It was just a dude answering questions he was asked. I don’t want to hang out with the guy.

I get a little worried about calling something like that “sexual assault”. It plays into the “can’t say anything anymore” crowd’s hands.

That wasn’t sexual assault. If you want a lesson to take away for what he actually did wrong here: he attacked the reason for rejection. It’s a natural thing to do. But that’s really the only thing wrong here.

Going in for a peck is fine. Planting one before they react wouldn’t be. But taking rejection gracefully is nearly impossible. Let’s try to be better.

Ever used photoshop with an undo history? It’s particularly nice for text based commands.

y? omg

Is that a gender? It’s almost a state.

Actually that’s a great place for some “I want to help but I don’t know computers” people to jump in.

That makes total sense. I was on my way to mechanical engineering when I was learning autocad and autodesk mechanical desktop if you remember that. Now it’s just in autocad. (I guess that’s an example of how things used to unshittify. I bet adobe would bring back MD as a separate product nowadays.)

So if you try to enter woodworking after that experience, it feels right to model projects like that. I had learned a lot of coding by this point. So adding the code into parts for flexibility felt great.

This is going to sound complicated. That’s because I bet you can do this with one click. But I thought it was cool I model a compound mitre angle for a cut using numbers I calc’d on Octave (matlab-like foss). Since I’m just a tinkerer, I could only imagine how powerful that could be for pros. Lots of “where was this when I needed it” thoughts.

I tried qcad around 2010 or so and found the UI horrible compared to autocad that I was used to. At this point in my life, drafting was pretty useless. So I had no reason to have cad unless it was free.

I found OpenScad in Y2020 and was amazed at how far it had come. It felt much more like the commercial stuff, at least to me, who was behind the times anyway.

I was disappointed not to see one. That’s not a ‘no’, but I did look for one.

I just thought in hindsight, my response to you plugging freecad is funny.

It’s like you took me into your workshop with all these benches, and I just point at the openscad bench like a caveman and grunt “scad”.

And they write it all down and charge a reasonable price.

Ok, I’m joking, but only kinda. Those things are pretty neat to thumb through. I don’t know if the money goes to some wack-job. It’s almost certain due to the invisible hand.

inb4 woosh …bah bah-dah … bah dah pah dum

I got a good deal on a laptop and removed the hard drive with the preinstalled windows almost immediately. I say “almost” because I did actually set up a work space and installed software on in. It was a just-in-case system.

My laptop has been running linux-only for a while. But my wife needs my lappy for a thing. And it’s a windows-only thing. So I remove my hard drive. Put in the pre-installed one I had sitting on a shelf. And it didn’t boot. I got a windows error screen saying I had better start rounding up boot recovery material. So fuck.

Put my linux hard drive back in. BIOS can’t find a bootable drive. Fuck.

I was able to fix the problem. I kinda hate to admit that it was kinda fun to fix. (If you haven’t chrooted, you haven’t lived.) But I’m just pissed off at that whole #!
