“tracking” of users, which makes it sound slightly more ominous than what it really is.

No, it makes it sound like exactly what it is.

I used uGet on windows, and it was fairly smooth. Not google, but an equally annoying large download. I believe it’s on Linux as well.

it looks like Fusion 360 runs fine on Linux

I can assure you, it does not.

Do not switch to Linux and expect this project to save you, it is NOT beginner friendly.

It’s great, and I’m sure someone smarter than me could probably get it working, but personally, I failed miserably and switched to OnShape.

I’d like to see stats on that, because there are equally many 2nd language speakers in English speaking spaces as well. Not to mention the brits, irish, aussies, kiwis, canadians, etc, and that’s before we get into this list of places with a non majority first language population, like many countries in Africa.

I think the percentage of Americans on the internet will be higher, but still not a majority

What I wouldn’t give to be able to use that last line in a professional setting sometimes.

Lol, I’m not sure I’d describe it as anime, but I understand what you mean. Personally I quite like the aesthetic of it. It makes them feel just the right amount of fake to me that I won’t feel bad deleting the pool ladder. I can totally see how it would bug you though. Hopefully it’ll be easy to mod out, or at least turn down.

I still have hope for Paralives

Have a look at Paralives

I feel like it’s app dependent. We use discord, and I feel like I get 1 notification per channel, but then other apps like LinkedIn (for shame!) are fucking incessant, and will REnotify me multiple times for things I’ve already dismissed. It’s infuriating.

Psh, I’m already doing that! I’m using smoke signals to write this right now!

Serious response: How would a movement like that spread awareness of itself?

Margaret Elaine Hamilton (née Heafield; born August 17, 1936) is an American computer scientist, systems engineer, and business owner. She was director of the Software Engineering Division of the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory, which developed on-board flight software for NASA’s Apollo program. She later founded two software companies—Higher Order Software in 1976 and Hamilton Technologies in 1986, both in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Hamilton has published more than 130 papers, proceedings, and reports, about sixty projects, and six major programs. She invented the term “software engineering”, stating “I began to use the term ‘software engineering’ to distinguish it from hardware and other kinds of engineering, yet treat each type of engineering as part of the overall systems engineering process.”

On November 22, 2016, Hamilton received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from president Barack Obama for her work leading to the development of on-board flight software for NASA’s Apollo Moon missions.

Huh, didn’t know about her! She sounds like a badass lady!

“VR in the 80s” is my go to analogy. Sooo many promises, such tantalizing potential… and zero follow through

My idea is essentially to match the official stand that ships with it, but flip it and put a stand on the “bottom.” I think it’ll be really nice aesthetically but unfortunately it seems like it’s not as simple as just mirroring it. To tell the truth, I’m probably going to end up going this route anyway, but I feel like I have to at least try the hard way first

Thanks, that gives me something to go on! I realise I’m probably taking the hard road but, eh. Worst case scenario is a little wasted time and filament. No one ever learnt doing it the easy way anyway. If I get anywhere I’ll report back

Did you even read the article? That’s literally what they’re calling for. The removal of subsidies.

As for everyone needing to pitch in, just no. The vast majority of emissions come from sources outside public control. The “everyone needs to pitch in” and “watch your personal carbon footprint” crap is just effective marketing from BP.

Not saying cutting down personal emissions is bad, every little helps…

but it’s not a solution. We need to be holding the big emmiters accountable.

The only realistic way to doing that is through inconvenient protests like blocking roads and making sure we can’t be ignored. How else do you force governments to turn on their benefactors?

It’s been over 50 years now, and we’ve seen very little real movement on this. it’s been mostly token and empty gestures, and pandering. It’s time we stepped up our game.

Soooo she’s got the right idea imo
