Comment on Weird đ¤
ImpossibilityBox@lemmy.world â¨7⊠â¨months⊠agoCurious, Iâve seen it all over lemmy. Iâve got a couple different accounts for⌠reasons, and on one I tried to make the point that for some demographics, like my parents/grandparents, Windows is the best OS. I was immediately berated for MANY reasons including, being a failure for not educating my family, not caring about my familyâs safety, personally signing them up for the FasTrack to identity theft and scammers, and that Linux is ACTuaLLY simpler and easier to use.
This is pretty tame compared to the piracy guys as well.

Yeah youâre pretty much objectively wrong there. With OSX you couldâve had a point but Windows is a nightmare if you have to administer a box for family.
âŚdonât tell me your parents and grandparents absolutely have to use 3ds Max. And if they were using AutoCAD I very much doubt youâd have to administer the machine.

How do you literally, literally run head-first into the point and still miss it?
barsoap@lemm.ee â¨7⊠â¨months⊠ago
I didnât miss it. Itâs rule 386.

Whatâs the 3dsmax bit from ?
barsoap@lemm.ee â¨7⊠â¨months⊠ago
Itâs random software that indeed only runs on Windows. Thereâs not even a Mac version.
âŚbut itâs also software that people generally donât use privately, and for which FLOSS alternatives exist (Blender), arguably better software and because free also used by hobbyists, and even more insanely powerful commercial software that also runs on Linux (Houdini). Frankly speaking Iâm surprised that a DOS 3d software package even made it into currentyear with all that IRIX competition.

I am familiar with it, I was just wondering where you pulled that from ? I didnât see it mentioned in the OP
Some studios depend on it because they have a whole pipeline&talent revolving around it, but hobbyists ? indeed thatâs weird
