Both of mine are software support. At home, things at damn near perfect. Really the only issues are software for my peripherals, my mouse software only works on windows for max support, but I have a windows machine for written, so it’s ok for now. At work, most industrial CAD packages only work on windows too. If I could get solidworks on linux, I’d be linux only.

That’s cool! If it were me, I’d have broken all be edges with a rasp or file, but that’s just my preference

I saw a clip of that yesterday, and I genuinely do not know how anyone in that audience could take that seriously. It take seems like satire. I hate this timeline.

You’re right, there currently is, but there doesn’t have to be. I agree that weening off will take a while, but that could be a boat load better with incentives

We have the technology to do that all right now with renewables. Excluding raw materials for steel etc, we can mine with electric tools/machines (in fairness I don’t know if these exist as of now, but it’s not a crazy idea to just make an electric version of what exists already), we can farm with electric machines, shipping with electric vehicles, there are electric forges for glass/steel making etc. Once you electrify things, it can all be done with renewables and battery tech.

The biggest problem (in the US) is adoption. We could have better technology and more of it if we gave a single shit about it.

In fairness, in the prominent religions "everyone* is sick and needs the doctor

Why the fuck is trump censored?

Did he have a stroke typing that or am I out of the loop with wrestling lingo and it makes sense to people?

If the screen is too small, I think your only options are returning it and getting a bigger laptop or just sticking with that and using a dock with a monitor

I think LT = laptop

Finally one of those drag Queens I’ve been hearing about! Oh wait

In the past I used CAD 95% of the time in the form of Solidworks, so I had to use windows. The other 5% of the time I used excel, so i probably could have dual booted, but I never bothered. Fortunately (kinda) my current job uses it a lot less, so I main Linux and for small prototypes I use FreeCAD on Linux and dual boot windows for the bigger projects that demand the speed in Solidworks

It’s far from perfect, but it’s really digestible (for me at least) but starting with Wikipedia articles on socialism, marxism, communism, and go on a few of the standard wiki link rabbit trails. Once you get a good understanding of the overviews you’ll likely come up with some questions that drive more learning sessions. At some point it’s worth reading the original theories, but I would save that for much later personally

If you’re concerned about losing focus per “session”, I would take it in small doses. Start with the big picture ideas first, then narrow the scope each time you study to add more and more understanding and nuance.

If you’re concerned about losing focus long term akin to losing interest in the topic, I’m not sure I can help much other than read the news and watch interviews and discussions and debates around the topic and focus the inevitable anger that arises from everyone misunderstanding the topic into learning it so you can push back against the “socialism is when government does things” drivel

Preventative maintenance is always cheaper than fixing things after it gets fucked up

This is awesome! I’ve been meaning to journal for a couple years now, but didn’t know the medium to do it in, I think this is the push I needed

That’s true. I’m not l just annoyed that I’ve been hearing that “its so close to making everything better” for a decade it feels like.
