Hakuna matata :) no need to get riled up. Use what you want, I use Linux and macOS at home and windows at work.
- Comment on Fuck Microsoft 1 week ago:
Fair point! In the end, everyone needs to use what works best for them. I do concede that I’m not really familiar with accessibility issues and I perceive the accessibility options to be lacking in the distros I know. Maybe it will change in the future and I hope it does :) thank you for your contribution!

Oh, I get that, it was more of a retro rival question because I read all those headlines about the shit Microsoft constantly tries to pull. I get comfortable and I’m sure there are some problems and growing pains but if you’re ready to get out of the comfort zone I think it is worth it.
I had the opposite issue where canon decided to stop supporting a scanner with incompatible drivers for windows 10. Linux and macOS were able to use it OOTB without me having to tinker with it. Swings and roundabouts I guess.
I’m not a lemming and am not shoving anything down anyone’s throat, but I guess people are apparently really triggered when someone merely brings it up.

Oh I also use windows on my work machine and not anywhere else. The enterprise version is not full of crap and doesn’t force AI down your throat.
- Comment on Fuck Microsoft 1 week ago:
I mean at this point why stick with Microsoft? I get needing a particular software only able to run in windows but other than that there’s really no need.

Or - and this is a wild theory - just cripple the ones using a-series chips and keep the m-series the same but charge more.

Thanks, i got used to Not having One since having surgery for phimosis when I was little. Good to know there’s an option for people who want to have it restored. Options are always good:)

Oh for fucks sake… I wanted to expand my NAS… Crypto was (is still responsible) for the shit state of the GPU Market and now it’s the next scam.

I hope they’re not using dihydrogen monoxide for this. Literally anyone that consumes it dies.

- Comment on And what car did you learn in? 4 weeks ago:
My driving school had 2002 Corollas. Had a lot of problems to get the „feel“ for the clutch and after I mastered that the most challenging thing for me was starting on a hill using the handbrake. Auto-Hold these days is truly a blessing :)

- Comment on Affinity’s new design platform combines everything into one app | The Verge 5 weeks ago:
Tried using GIMP and Gimpshop (I don’t know if it’s still a thing) and never really got warm with it. Not for a lack of trying. I just use Affinity designer 2 and Photo 2 along with Inkscape (from which GIMP could learn a thing or two in terms of usability IMO).
- Comment on Affinity’s new design platform combines everything into one app | The Verge 5 weeks ago:
I have affinity designer 2 and photo 2. It does everything I need (except for bitmap tracing, for which I use Inkscape). I won’t be bothering with anything else in this respect as I’m used to working with the tools I have . Also I don’t need the AI stuff so it’s a hard pass. Bummer on the acquisition though…

As someone with small kids, this would be my preferred way of working. Even with a dedicated room I can’t help myself losing focus and entering magic adventures with unicorns and building equipment.

I sadly don’t need it, but I remember seeing these things when they came out and I lusted for one so badly. Amazing tech for the time. Thank you very much for sharing this with us.
- Comment on Touch sensor part ID? 1 month ago:
It looks to me like the through-hole Plating is gone. Could be worth soldering a wire from the top pad, through the hole directly to the “grid” on the back side. Need to scratch a bit of solder mask off the grid fill first.

- Comment on Anyone had any luck running Fusion 360 on Linux? 2 months ago:
I used to work as a mechanical engineer, so I am used to CAD Systems since I started with Autocad, went on to Pro/E Wildfire 2, had a stint with NX and Inventor. All of them used productively within the context of professional work.
Fusion was the first CAD I used for my hobby (3D printing) and it is seriously powerful.
Freecad the way it is now (and I tried 1.0 as soon as it got out) is akin to the old days where it wouldn’t let you work with a partially defined sketch or implied confinements by hovering/snapping to the line. I feel like I have to get out a piece of paper and plan out my model before I begin modeling, while using fusion I feel I can just pick it up and develop whatever idea I have right then and there.
It has gotten a lot better - really came a long way since the previous versions where I tried easel as well for the better workflow before 1.0. I never managed to get the same efficiency and usability I get from fusion, despite really trying.
