Never got down with FreeCAD. BricsCAD has a native Linux version and works well for me, but it's expensive. Recently, I've moved over to OpenSCAD. Works very well for me, but it might be hit or miss, depending on what UX you like, and what functions you need.

On the one hand, sure. On the other hand, if you're saying you bought from brand A, not B, specifically because the big boss of B is a shithead, I feel like it's valid to point out the ways the big boss of A is shit too.

Since everyone is shit, I dunno, buy used, I guess.

BMW lobbies against non-car based infrastructure and car industry regulation here in Germany. Biggest shareholder is the Quandt family, who are descendant from literal Nazis, and now use part of their billions to fund the conservatives (at least they aren't giving it to the far-right. Yet.)

So yeah, fuck Elon, but fuck BMW too.

"Bitch", I assume. Fits the context, and I think it's on lemmy.ml's forbidden word list.

Gave me flashbacks about receiving emails from them about connecting to friends of mine on their platform long before I ever interacted with any of said platforms in any way.

With a properly packaged python app, you shouldn't even notice you're running a python app. But yeah, for some reason there's a lot of them that ... aren't.

I cancelled Spotify when they started pushing podcasts in my music app, with no way to turn it off.

Why pay for a service that actively pushes you towards stuff you don't want? Especially if there's alternatives that cost the same and ... don't do that.

Sounds like a win win. Maybe I should work on getting more flexible.

I want to buy the whole of Switzerland.

At the moment, LLMs just aren't very good at writing anything that is interesting. I experimented with it a bit for shits and giggles, and tried out several different local Models and online Services.

I'm not saying that it's impossible it'll improve, but for me as someone who enjoys writing, having your writing done by a tool just misses the point. I like to write because it allows me to express myself, and off loading parts of that process to a tool makes it less personal, less me.

I won't judge anyone with a different opinion, but for me, part of the enjoyment of reading also comes from seeing how the author and their experiences colour their writing, which usage of such a tool, in a way, also diminishes. At the moment, I just can't see an avenue to the prevalence of LLMs making creative writing better.

That's why I stopped using it. They require a phone number, phone numbers require kyc with an ID around here, and there's just too much illegal shit on there.

It's of course possible to get a more pseudonymous experience, but honestly, what they offer isn't worth the hastle.

Is the VR streaming in the Local net (PC to Headset)? Just run the WiFi router without plugging it into the wall. Connect only the pc and the headset.

Also, appart from that, to use more wired devices, maybe use an unmanaged switch. Don't think that does anything forbidden here.
