I’m a mechanical engineer and have spent literal years in front of Creo and SolidWorks. Trying to use FreeCAD felt like flying a Cessna 172 after being accustomed to a business jet; they can ostensibly get you where you need to go, but the cost in effort to use the tool is not worth the cost saved in buying the commercial tool.

Do we just want a reasonable subscription price?

Yay, basically. I paid for premium when I could afford it because I want the platform to keep working and I hate ads.

Premium prices went up without a lot of value for me so I quit paying. Technically premium offers a lot but the core feature that I actually cared about (YouTube without ads) never changed in value. If I had the option of only paying for that, I’d do it. To me, YT is a higher priority than any other streaming service. But they don’t provide a way for me to only pay for the stuff I care about

My mom told me that she was made fun of for having a book of hand written account credentials related to running her business (6 people total). I told her it was the best way to do it that wasn’t massively overcomplicated for her situation and to keep it up. The only recommendation I made is that she use different long passwords for every site since she’s already not memorizing them.

Personally I’m not convinced this isn’t the best way unless you’re being targeted by physical bad actors

In my experience Perl is a write-only language. Coming in behind someone else and fixing or writing their code is often slower than just rewriting it

I’ve written a million lines of powershell in the past few years for stupid business reasons. I fucking hate the language and I don’t see why anyone would write anything serious in it

I can get my dick sucked every few hours all week.

Caveat: by men

Plot twist: I’m bi

Double twist: I’m married

Final twist: I’m lying

What’s the efficiency for turning jet fuel into mechanical work? I’d suspect the efficiency is somewhere around 45% for liquid fuel where it’s nearly 100% for electric. So you’re really trying to reach the equivalent of 5500 Wh/kg.

I’ve literally never seen or heard of porn being on Twitter/X. This is news to me.

Nah, just zig zag away from where you plugged it in and it’s never a problem.

I mowed my grass with a corded mower for a decade until the motor bearing finally disintegrated. Cost me $100 and one blade replacement. No small gas engine was ever that reliable for me

Japan has 1/3 the population vs the US so that means that nearly every man, woman, and child has Twitter in Japan vs 30% of US people.

I disabled my TPM in BIOS so Windows would never upgrade

Medication meaning the epilepsy is now effectively treated and he hasn’t had a seizure since.

He got medicated

I believe it. A childhood friend of mine had totaled like 7 (very cheap) cars by the time he turned 25.

After a particularly brutal crash, he was diagnosed with epilepsy after having an absence seizure in the presence of an ER nurse.

Hasn’t wrecked since.

Basically Blizzard’s story.

I bought a projector not too long ago. I’ll never go back.

The difference is that, for Windows, a million other people have seen your problem most of the time, so there’s usually some kind of support article that can point you in the right direction on how to fix your problem without having to dive into the docs.

Linux just doesn’t have that luxury. If I were getting paid to solve the problem, sure, I’d probably have figured it out in a day or so as a Linux noob. But I’m not. My free time is limited. I don’t need to know much about Windows because it works pretty much all the time (ymmv).

One time I used the store UI thing in Ubuntu to install a package and it made it so that every subsequent time I opened it it would just freeze. I couldn’t figure out how to uninstall it via the command line because it had some kind of lock on it. After awhile I gave up and reinstalled windows.

Got a link to that?
