Solidworks not being supported.

The solution I’m working on is to connect to a Windows computer via moonlight for their solidworks stuff, hopefully freeing up the potential to do Linux on their main machine

Are we really going to start enlightened centrist memes over Linux?

I say this as someone who daily drives Linux on their framework laptop, who self hosts jellyfin, home assistant, searxng, ollama, etc.

For a lot of folks, their lives don’t revolve around computers. I know that folks on Lemmy tend to skew more towards that computer lifecycle, but we gotta recognize that we’re out of the norm in that regard.

I feel like they’re saying that what you described doesn’t equate to do getting hit in the face by your boyfriend, which is subjective.

How this same conversation can sound to non-technical folks:

“my boyfriend left his dirty socks in the living room AGAIN.”

“Well maybe you should switch boyfriends”

“…what?”

Damn, that actually was a wonderful talk, thank you for sharing.

To anyone who bristled at my earlier comment - if you’re looking for a solution, this video lays out a foundation for the different types of conversations folks can have, goes over why it’s important to differentiate between them, and gives concrete action items to take. It’s also just a well paced, riveting ted talk, to boot.

Ah, I understood your earlier comment to mean to find some FOSS alternative.

It now sounds like you meant “who cares if Autodesk is not performant if work forces you to use it”, which I’m down with, and is honestly mentioned in the original post itself as a reason why folks complain without switching.

I know this sounds like a grand stand but it’s just going to get your ass fired lol. Autodesk is an industry standard.

ITT: people who have never had to learn that sometimes when someone complains to you they are not solution oriented, and it genuinely just feels good to share something wry/ridiculous to bond over.

It’s a good skill to pick up, folks. Definitely comes into play in relationships.

If you recognize there’s a problem, and the problem disturbs you, and you CAN fix it, why not fix it?

Because if the fix for any particular problem is to learn a new OS, that’s a steep cost for things that can just be minor annoyances. If you’re in Lemmy, chances are you’re comfortable with nerdy shit, and not everyone is.

On top of that, Linux has its own quirks, so it’s not a panacea. There’s no easy way for me to change scroll speed on a track pad in fedora/gnome, for example.

Some more context, from the CEO:

So we did actually ask AMD about this the first time they told us about Strix Halo. It was literally our first question: ‘How do we get modular memory? We are Framework after all.’ And they didn’t say no actually, they did assign one of their technical architects to really really go deep on this—they ran simulations, they ran studies, and they just determined it’s not possible with Strix Halo to do LPCAMM. The signal integrity doesn’t work out because of how that memory’s fanning out over the 256-bit bus.

I wonder what a SIM modem expansion card would look like

Makes sense!

To be fair though, if you’re hooking up an Ethernet cord you’ve already lost in the “ugly and cumbersome” department.

‘sudo’ is another contender

wouldn’t it be impossible to unmix any pigment color combo? And wtf does that sort of metaphor even mean?

It’s an example of a situation where it’s easier to start fresh than undo past actions, which by your point you show you understand.

I don’t think it’s acceptable to call the planet an unfixable mess.

Let’s differentiate between OUR planet, and the planet depicted in the movie. Are you saying that there are no ways in which a fictional future earth is unsalvageable?

Do you also rally against movies set in, for example, a dystopian cyberpunk setting due to not liking the scene it was set in?

There is no real response because we’re talking about a fictional future, with unknown ailments, established by maybe 20 minutes of film as a backdrop. They wanted to tell a story titled “interstellar”, not “terrestrial”.

Given all those unknowns, it stands that there are times when starting fresh is easier than undoing. Trying to unmix brown pigments comes to mind.

You asked:

If earth is in a climate apocalypse, and we have extremely advanced technology that lets us bring life to far out planets, then why are we leaving earth? Can’t those same technologies be applied to saving the earth people?

This is a potential answer, given the lack of established truths in this fictional universe.

It can be easier to start with a fresh slate than it is to salvage a mess.

That is coincidentally exactly what meta is arguing in their lawsuit.

I wouldn’t expect folks working on Linux to be discouraged by the sweat equity of something as small as running the installer for an OS. I definitely read “just work” to mean having all components supported by the OS, regular updates available, etc.
