- Comment on I liked Fusion 360, I like Onshape - but I'd rather like something that I won't lose over the whims of one company. So, what? 4 months ago:
I really hope that FreeCAD will get better with time, and the Blender story will be the same for FreeCAD. Just a few years back, Blender was really bad compared with Maya, now Autodesk lost a huge market because Blender is powerful enough for professional work, probably even better than Maya
- Comment on PSA: Nova Launcher has been owned by analytics company Branch since 2022 6 months ago:
Yeah, I bought it for 10ct
- Comment on Users ditch Glassdoor, stunned by site adding real names without consent 8 months ago:
All of scandinavia. There are public registers where you can look up the salary of everyone for norway, sweden and finland. When these registers were introduced, the salaries were normalized across the whole population
- Comment on I managed to finished my project thanks to a 3D printed router copying guide 8 months ago:
I use my 3d printer sooo often to print templates for the router. A handheld router and a 3d printer are a combination made in heaven, I love it so much!
- Comment on How I cannot be worry?? 10 months ago:
I try to tell myself that I can’t do anything about it to calm down, then I find a solution and I can do something about it
- Comment on GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles 11 months ago:
GTA V was 2 years later and it even came out after the next-gen release. But I waited patiently, I skipped any spoilers for 2 years and it was well worth it. Also, GTA has such a long lifespan that the wait really doesn’t matter
- Comment on I've been working on a lighting and camera boom for the workshop 11 months ago:
Did you by any change get inspired by Marius Hornberger? :)

He did something very similar, your’s looks a bit better with the lighting
- Comment on Hold 11 months ago:
to be fair, if you want something which you would buy for the normal price, it still makes sense to wait for Black Friday in the hope that it’s reduced. If it isn’t you haven’t lost out on anything and if it is reduced, you won a few bucks
- Comment on China begins building underwater data center with performance equal to 6 million PCs — aims to save 122 million KWh of electricity and nearly ten soccer fields of land | Data centers find refuge at... 11 months ago:
From one Datacenter? Yes. If you put all datacenters into the sea? Definitely not. And if the Bitcoin scumbags decide that this is a good idea and built huge mining farms underwarer it’s even worse. Datacenters are one of the biggest contributors to energy need already, taking up 1-1.3% of global energy demand. That’s no joke
- Comment on Bing loses search market share to Google despite ChatGPT integration 1 year ago:
Why would they keep it on? Sure, they will continue to collect data for their AI, but I’m pretty sure they are happy that they don’t want to keep it on if it might drive you to use other search engines. And turn it back on after a few versions of optimization
- Comment on Hikers rescued after following non-existent trail on Google Maps 1 year ago:
Was the same for me this vacation. Gladly we were on a smaller mountain which was completely surrounded by villages, so we knew that just going down the mountain would lead to a bus that could bring us to the hotel, so we didnt care that much.
- Comment on Show me a better text format for serializing 1 year ago:
JSON would be perfect if it allowed for comments. But it doesn’t and that alone is enough for me to prefer YAML over JSON. Yes, JSON is understandable without any learning curve, but having a learning curve is not always bad. YAML provides a major benefit that is worth the learning curve and doesn’t have the issues that XML has (which is that there is no way to understand an XML without also having the XSD for it)
- Comment on LinkedIn user data leaked: Database shows emails, profile data, phones, full names, and more confidential info. 1 year ago:
No sarcasm, I never got an E-Mail before from a Headhunter, only LinkedIn Messages. Not gonna lie, I hated it.
- Comment on LinkedIn user data leaked: Database shows emails, profile data, phones, full names, and more confidential info. 1 year ago:
That’s why today I got an email from a headhunter that used Data from my LinkedIn profile. Fuck this.

- Comment on Spotify re-invented the radio 1 year ago:
Why do companies feel compelled to punish people who use their free product?
Companies don’t exist out of generosity. When Spotify looses money from non-premium users, they obviously want to encourage you to buy premium. They probably had to make the decision to play more ads or do this and decided that this makes more sense
- Comment on Which software do you mostly use for programming, and why? 1 year ago:
My work laptop has Windows installed, but I use VSCode and WSL or EC2 Linux instances solely for my work. VSCodium would not work with that workflow because it lacks the Remote amd WSL functionality
- Comment on Smartphone sales down 22 percent in Q2, the worst performance in a decade 1 year ago:
Exactly, price is higher of course but specs are midrange. But buying a phone for 700€ and then using it for 5 years is a lot better than buying one for 400€ for 2 years
- Comment on Smartphone sales down 22 percent in Q2, the worst performance in a decade 1 year ago:
I think thats whats going to happen. Fairphones are mid-range, but a midrange phone is enough for everything nowadays. The only reason I want to switch my phone right now is because the fingerprint sensor is broken
- Comment on Desalination system could produce freshwater that is cheaper than tap water 1 year ago:
Sounds so easy for you but what to do with the excess salt is the only real problem with desalination that we have for decades now. It’s not easy to solve.
- Comment on Keeping cats indoors is a rare solution where everybody wins 1 year ago:
When I adopted my cats the shelter and foster people asked if the cats will stay inside or go outside and when I said inside they all made a sigh of releave and the shelter workers said “thank god, thats definitely the best for them”. I build them a small cage that I put up at the window in my old flat, now I have a balcony where they can roam and when I live in a house with a garden at some point they will get a big catio.
I think that them being able to safely go outside a little bit is important, the outside world gives them so much different experiences. Wind, fresh air, outside noices, smells from neighbors barbecuing. But yeah, leaving them completely outside is not good
- Comment on Report: Potential NYT lawsuit could force OpenAI to wipe ChatGPT and start over 1 year ago:
It doesn’t matter. For it to be fair use under American law they would need to give full credit, which they obviously don’t.
- Comment on Report: Potential NYT lawsuit could force OpenAI to wipe ChatGPT and start over 1 year ago:
Yeah I don’t get it. ChatGPT is not “Fair use” and there is no credit given to anyone, it’s a solid case against them
- Comment on Student project consumes 17% of energy of traditional desalination plants 1 year ago:
Yeah it was just something I came up with. We can only hope that someone will find a good solution on what to do with it
- Comment on Student project consumes 17% of energy of traditional desalination plants 1 year ago:
I don’t know if that works with brine. But what I know is that many regions fill old mines with salt and heat it up with excess energy from solar in the summer to use as general energy storage and for heat in the winter. That might be a good way to repurpose the brine
- Comment on Yesterday, my Prusa made a loud beep and turned off and never on again 1 year ago:
Root cause analysis was done, but the priority of the causes analysed was not as efficient as it could be 😀 at least i didnt order new fuses
