I’ll go with FreeCAD. I’ve known about it for a while and tried it about 5-10 years ago but have given it another look as I try to get back into CAD stuff and hate the restrictive licenses of commercial products. It has come a LONG way and is far more intuitive to use than it used to be.

I would actually rather like a Steam Deck without a display but with at least one full USB4 port and the ability to split it similar to a switch.

If it could use apple’s messages.app then i would be so happy.

That’s an Apple problem, not a Steam Deck or Linux problem. Apple refuses to allow support on non-Apple hardware.

You’ve received a lot of great advice that I’ve seen. Definitely getting labs would be a good first step. I’d suggest working with your therapist on this, honestly. Supposing that you’re not dealing with a deficiency or medication issue, it might be important to figure out how long you’ve been feeling this way, what way it is exactly that you’re feeling, and figuring out what to do about it.

And it has a pretty excellent stdlib.

I like Fira Code w/ Nerd Font patch.

Yes. They all have serial numbers, likely sequential so if a roll has serials 0005 through 00150 and some are stolen it should be very easy to tell. If the inventory records show 5 sales and only 00142 through 00150 are remaining, all cards from 00011 to 00141 can be safely assumed stolen and invalidated.

Always the former. It’s a short form of regular expression, not rejular expression. But I don’t really judge others for their chosen pronunciation, as long as it’s understandable.

I enjoy your pronunciation! I’ve been using Linux primary for nearly 20 years now. Here’s my list:

No, this is Linux. Oh. B. D. S… Nevermind.

Might be worth doing some file analysis. The big CO2 laser at my Makerspace has a “proprietary” format that is really just PostScript. Working around that stuff should be doable.

In the US, property owners do indeed have some degree of rights over low-altitude airspace. The FAA states that one should have permission before intentionally flying over private property. In addition, a large number of states and municipalities have drone-specific surveillance, harassment, and privacy laws, so, it’s a fair change that those may apply. Any commercial drone operator that violates local laws in course of their flight is likely to run into trouble with the FAA too.

What FOSS alternatives exist? This is exactly the reason not to rely on closed-source for hardware support.

If the drones are flying over private property without explicit authorization, the FAA may be a good place to start.

This is nothing but rent-seeking.

Depends on your priorities and DE preference. I’m using it as a baremetal hypervisor so, stability and maturity are my priorities. This made Silverblue my choice. If you want KDE, Kinoite would be a good place to start.

nix has a unique way of doing the underlying the logic which as is own benefits.

Honestly, this is what I like least about it. I do not like unique, single-purpose Domain Specific Languages. To me, requiring use of a DSL that is not like common languages used for similar purposes is a major detractor.

Yeah. I had a similar experience. My first successful install, following the docs, didn’t have a network stack. It turns out that the docs are not representative of what’s considered best practices at this point. I also don’t care for needing a new DSL for a single use case.

So, for me, it’s a non-starter. Fedora Atomic is meeting my needs nicely at this point. NixOS has brought some excellent ideas to the forefront and is a great match for some people. I’ll pass until I can use my JSON/YAML/TOML and the docs are useable.

I’d recommend trying out a Fedora Atomic distro. Similar idea but without the extremely niche DSL.

Perhaps there’s been some changes - that would make me extremely happy. I had generally good experiences initially but saw more and more attacking of users not from Hexbear or .ml instances, frequently over nothing but misunderstanding or miscommunication with no quarter or space for clearing up misunderstanding given even to other anticapitalists. It got to the point where I blocked the instance due to the negative impact on my own well-being that I noticed from the unnecessary strife and aggression that I saw and experienced. To be fair, some of it could be misperception and/or RSD on my part as one who is neurodivergent and frequently concerned about being misinterpreted or unintentionally phrasing something incorrectly.

At least, that’s my personal experience, as a recovering debate-bro.

That’s awesome. There are some great and chill comms there - maybe I might to reconsider the instance block and be more judicious in blocking only comms where I find problematic behavior. The only other instance that I have blocked is that sports one that was clogging up my feed with stuff that I find boring.
