  • 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.


  • 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)

    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

    No! No! It cant be that way. I want to spend hours screaming at my computer. Because fusion 360 is having problems finding my licence key!

    Thats too easy, give me more difficultly Make canceling a painful process. Only 14 more emails and a USPS certified mail letter to go! Thanks adobe i love spending hours doing a simple task! (This is satirical)








  • Honestly a month ago me and my friend were looking at microsoft forums. One of which was somebody asking why tiktok was preinstalled in windows 11. Forum admin replied that it was bloat from a manufacturer of the hardware. It was a homebuilt computer and fresh copy of windows 11 home.

    28 more people said windows 11 did this by default, the admin eventually realized it was not accidental or a fluke. Which he previously eluded to.

    Shows the current state of windows 11




  • Honestly for saying it deanonizes people is a bit of a fibracation. Yes theoretically a threat actor could figure out what clould flare DNS sever it is. But that really doesnt do much realistically. For example qouting the researcher “i live in new york and my closest data center is in new Jersey”. Realistically what can a hacker do with that, other than know you live somewhere near new Jersey. The threat actor would gain very little and the information they supposedly gained isnt verifiable. You live near NJ but to the threat actor they would assume you live in NJ. Which is a red hairing, and thats not even bring up VPN’s or TOR into the equations. Which 99% of journalist use all the time for amenity. So in conclusion the information they gain is about the same as saying “i may or may not be near this cloudflare server”


  • "What do you mean mr computer man? I just turned on my chrome book and am watching tiktok while writting this comment. Mr computer man why cant i just unlock everything. Stop using fancy techno bable like TCIP and AES? I just want a sticky note with the master key, i also want the key to narinia and the ability to teleport. Mr techno man, please and thank you. Mr robit give me the master key like in 1995 hackers with the shitty ass mini glasses and the random terminal output "

    Some people speak of things they dont comprehend and try to give advice beyond there intelligence.
