    Back to work today. Signed into my windows machine. Had to agree to 3 privacy policies to read my emails/use Edge.

    Have the XKCD as a wallpaper to remind me of ‘home’.

    “Ima install windows server edition since I like the C API and I can learn regedit stuff”

    (The most undocumented nightmare imaginable)

    “Never again”

    Seriously how did I have harder time connecting to my home wifi than I did connecting to PEAP encrypted university wifi on open fucking bsd.

    Did she really do that? I’m flabbergasted she brought a pamphlet for her upcoming tour and a little flower to hold in front of the camera. This is the first and possibly last time you’re going to space, Katy. How vain do you have to be to be holding things in front of a camera? I would be glued to the windows and savoring the sensation of weightlessness.

      She did it and so did Gale King. The only good thing about this whole narcissistic, class-based, photo op ordeal was this meme. The best part is that they trained together for what, 8 months? They spend almost 3 minutes of their 4 minutes in space taking selfies of each other and playing with their devices. I guess they got their $100k a piece worth of PR.

      When you’re convinced that the world revolves around you, you probably won’t have much appreciation for the universe.

      There may not come another time where she’s in all the news, worldwide. Gotta use every second to promote the upcoming tour with that amount of exposition, i guess.

    I use fusion 360 on windows 11 for work. Then i come home to my linux and it feels right

    Windows 11 is awful i hate the UI the ADS and spyware. I debloated as much as i can but i need fusion for CAM/CAD. I bring my lenovo laptop with debian 12 incase i need to do something other than CAD. Why cant autodesk port the POS to Linux

      Home users doing it is bad enough, but why the fuck is any business tolerating ads and spyware distracting their employees‽

        Its like asking would you rather be hit in the knee with lead pipe or a baseball bat. At least on the business side, you have macbooks that can run fusion 360 that are uber expensive and the hardware is soon obsolete. Or windows with adware and enshitafaction. I really hope large software companys pull there heads out of there ass’s. I do alot of laser cutting in my free time and it hurt when lightburn (a commercial product and great software) supported linux. I installed rocky linux and installed lightburn and havent had to deal with it since. They gave it the axe because they were remaking the software and linux wasnt large enough for development.

        Which really sucks, im forever stuck on version 1.7 as its the last lightburn version. I wish autodesk would just make a native linux version! I love purpose built software, have a watch, it tells the time. Have a thin client that runs the laser. Any they all do it so well, i know the opensource community is working really hard for freeCAD. But coming from fusion 360 is such a steep curve from workflows. I wish there was a better modeler for FOSS.

        And i feel like the demand will grow, i mean windows 10 is EOL soon. And i have converted 4 people from windows to linux. I spend some more time teaching them about its underworkings and how to fix things. I feel that 4 more to the pile of linux users will be good for the long term.

      Why cant autodesk port the POS to Linux

      Out of curiosity have you tried running it in a Wine/Proton environment? I’ve been able to utilize Steams “add non-steam game to library” feature to then enable proton compatibility on simple windows programs.

      Only gripe I have is with file-browsing in this scenario.

        People to some point have gotten fusion working in a half baked state. Bottles has an installer for it. But all the mini windows float over windows regardless of tab. And gpu acell doesnt work for the most part. I wish it did work because i very easily could switch to linux at work but fusion 360 is the bread and butter of my job. (Yes ive tried freecad, i find it hard to use compared to fusion)

    So people most familiar with a system have an affinity to it? Colour me shocked. I expect Windows users would want to return to Windows for their own reasons.

    It works on so many levels because there is a non-trivial amount of Linux elitists who are just as insufferable as Katy Perry!
