TBH I don’t like FreeCAD - I fell like it’s like recommending Gimp as a serious alternative to Photoshop. With enough effort and deep knowledge you can almost achieve similar results but you have to invest multiple times as much time. The saving in licencing cost is very quickly eastern up by the increased labour cost.

There is an alternative that has come a long way IMHO, though: BlenderBIM. They are still not quite as good as ArchiCAD and such but it runs natively on Linux and is very neat so far.

Agreed, but it still is the only device that can run GrapheneOS.

Signal seem to be the least compromising messenger app out there with their privacy policy and open source code base. It’s only natural they are frequent victims of FUD.

…and at the same time supporting racist and anti-migrant narratives to “fight” the fascist AfD. Which, obviously, just strengthens that narrative and hence the AfD.

Although it’s important to point out that those two are vastly different.

Sovereign citizens deliberately misinterpret US laws to (in their minds) escape jurisdiction. Reichsbürger are actively planning a coup to overthrow the government, install an actual emperor and go back to feudalism.

Sounds ridiculous but they are connected and prepared surprisingly well wich make them a real threat, not just a funny curiosity.

I’ll probably stick to 5e and switch to a different game once Hasbro forces DnDbeyond to disable 5e content. The only answer to enshittification is complete boycott.

Sehr wichtiger Punkt, danke. Zum Teil sind Rechts und Links da wo sie sind weil die Linken sich lieber gegenseitig angreifen als gegen Rechts vorzugehen.

Also nochmal zum Mitschreiben: Es ist scheißegal ob Links, Mitte, Marxist, Keynesianer, Christ, Atheist, Herero, Queer, Fleischfresser, Veganer oder was auch immer. Es gibt genug Ansätze, die Gesellschaft zu spalten und sie funktionieren. Keine Toleranz für Intolerante, der Rest ist erstmal egal.

And how is that determined? I found the shit that I took this morning immensely creative.

Dude, those are nice programs but if you need professional work done those are of very limited use. The only thing that is almost as useful as Adobe is Affinity and that’s also not running on Linux.

I’m in the same boat - can’t wait to have a fully integrated alternative to Obsidian in my Proton suite. They are certainly working on a step by step integration, although in Proton speed. So maybe in a few years or so.

As far as I know those services are barely breaking even, using the few remaining old sleeper wagons. Growth of them is not likely because new wagons cost a lot and profitability is low.

MAGArine?

It might work together if the real cost would be reflected in every product. Like, if cost of pollution, emission, all consequences of everything at every step in every country would be priced in and equalized. But that’s so unlikely to happen that we might as well set the whole thing on fire.

If I remember correctly, it was identified that institutions traded then to be able to better control prices without intervention from retail. Makes cost more predictable. This would make sense to utilise if you have to roll big positions.

This photo is way older than any AI project.

Nope, it’s not even the executives, they are straw people for the most part.

Most corporations are owned by investors who can cash out any time and threaten to plunge the stock into oblivion by doing so. They go where short term profits are highest, squeeze out every bit they can get and prodeed to the next investment afterwards, demanding enshittification there.

I love Linux but Programs like CAD and professional graphics software don’t run. Still Linux is only an option for programming and gaming.

Ich bin auch für Klarnamenpflicht auf Nummernschildern.

All of them are dumb. And any architect or planner involved has to have realised that within hours. That leaves no morally sound room for their involvement and must be the main reason most of them deleted any reference of their involvement they could.

Also, it’s not that there are no alternatives. Vertical farming, for example, is developing extremely fast as an environmental friendly way to produce food. Demands are changing and like every serious business they should strive to adapt instead of clinging to an aging business model.
