  You buying a house as an “investment” drives up property prices and is what makes it harder for people to own a home. Just because you worked to get to the point where you could afford to bug a second house, doesn’t justify buying that second house.

  Not usually a fan of Churchill, but that was great

  It could’ve also been a snap issue (we’ve seen an issue recently with the VSCode Snap eating up storage) and IIRC Firefox on Ubuntu is a Snap (by default, obviously you can install it any other way as well but you shouldn’t be expected to).

  I’ve been on Fedora for 3 or so years and it has pretty much worked flawlessly (the only exception to that is it used to sometimes have issues with automatically sleeping correctly when I closed the laptop lid, but that hasn’t been an issue for about a year)

  Every article needs to read “Elon Musk, who’s name repeatedly appeared in the Epstein files”

  Not all leftists are supportive of China, anarchists certainly aren’t.

  I tend to find Lemmy to be pretty good at being critical of the US

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone use Bambu Lab Cool Plate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Generally I put tall models on a high adhesion plate and short models on lower adhesion plates. It’s a good enough rule of thumb

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could there be a social media ban for children in the UK?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But to implement it would require age verification… Which we already know is a horrible idea

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No worries at all!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Might be worth looking at BricsCAD (but honestly as an engineer who has professionally used a number of different CAD packages, FreeCAD honestly isn’t that bad and I happily use it at home, it just has a different workflow)

  Tbf even solidworks crashes when designing complex assemblies

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vibe coding has turned senior devs into ‘AI babysitters,’ but they say it’s worth it | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a junior and even I feel the same way, reading and understanding someone else’s code not only takes me longer but is far less rewarding than just writing it myself. There’s also the issue as a junior that if I read AI code with issues that maybe I don’t notice or recognise, but it compiles fine, it could teach or reinforce poor practices that I may then put into my own work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there no good inexpensive CAD software?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  BricsCAD is pretty good on Linux

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netanyahu slams army over delay in building Gaza concentration camp⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Three countries with proud histories of genocide helping another genocidal country… Honestly not that surprising (although it is incredibly disappointing)

  I’m not sure, reading the article it very much seems like they are targeting them.

  Okay that’s actually really cool

  Or two USB C ports, I don’t really mind using a USB to audio jack converter but it would be nice to be able to easily charge and listen to wired headphones at the same time

  Unfortunately Graphene have said they will only use pixels (or potentially their own phone in the future) because no other phones have the Titan M2 security chip.

  It’s a shame though, because I’d love to have Graphene on it.

  I think it’s important to remember that the price is higher because they pay their factory workers a living wage and use a combination of recycled and fair materials.

  It looks expensive because other phones are cheap, and other phones are cheap because they are exploiting people to make them.

  I’m on an S10e with only 6GB of RAM and it’s still running smoothly. If it was still getting security updates I would keep it for way longer, but alas it’s not so I’m going to upgrade to the new fairphone (not thrilled about losing the headphone jack and getting a larger phone, but I support their overall goals so it seems like the best choice for me)

  Not so sure about that… Seems pretty racist, homophobic, and sexist.

  I mean it depends whether you were conflating being Jewish with supporting genocide, because I can understand why that would get you a ban.

  Obviously, criticizing Israel for committing genocide is something that we all should do, but someone being Jewish doesn’t mean they support Israel.
