Comment on Rebalancing the price to represent the value...
helenslunch@feddit.nl 1 year agoThis is the modern “choice”:
-
Paid software that exploits their own paying customers’ data and pushes regular ads for their own or for other products.
-
FOSS software that respects it’s users but also is nearly incapable of doing the job it’s supposed to.

The FOSS stuff can do the job. You just need to tweak these 10 config files because it doesn’t come with sensible defaults. Oh, and it’s built against a different version of those libraries. Better downgrade two and upgrade that third one. Actually, just fork and modify the source. Much easier. What were we trying to do again?

Ten year must have passed from the last time I had problems with library versions

I mean, Flatpaks exist for FreeCAD.
surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, but that’s less funny ;-)

Not when ruining someone else’s fun is my fun ;p

What’s flatpak and why in the world would I need to know about it in order to use a cad program? Do you see why people don’t use this stuff?

Just get the dockers image and run it in a vm…
Oh and if you’re a Mac user go fuck your self. We’d never change the keyboard shortcuts, native mouse/trackpad gestures, or use any of the menu conventions that you use in all your native apps.

You mean when people just ask someone else instead of heading to the single best information resource that’s ever existed in human history for an immediate answer?
No. I don’t see why people do that.
