Nothing says love like surprise LFS.

It is, but MasterCAM is also the primary workhorse for a large global industry, so I wouldn’t say that it is insignificant by any means.

MasterCAM blows absolutely every open-source solution out of the water. It isn’t even a competition. In this case, it is actually cheaper to buy their really expensive and restrictive license, because in the end you save a near immeasurable amount of time in modeling, drafting, programming, and production. The fee CAD programs that can even support a postprocessing operation (becoming closer to a real CAM solution) are really bad at it and the toolpaths are far from ideal.

This makes so little sense to me. One would think that an app would have a wider user base as well as being easier to take down. All they would need to do is run the app and see where it phones home to, then send a C&D to the distribution platform(s).

Learning to learn:

AutoCAD does need to die, but there absolutely is no real substitute for MasterCAM. I have a windows PC just for running that software, because nothing comes even kinda close. That license is expensive though, holy shit.

The old skullet.

I’m not a hoarder by any means, but my external 2TB drive is finally getting full. I just recently learned just how cheap storage is on a laptop with the 2.5" bays. I’m likely gong to use the new 4TB drive for general storage, then wipe the 2TB drive and move all of my content there.

Totally unbodacious

It’s just cool to see Lemmy in any search result. It kind of reinforces that what we are doing here matters. Downside is that if an instance goes down, only a potential archive is there.

Ah, the Dashboard Confessional special.

OK this hilarious. Guess who owns this domain. It is Sky UK

I’ve started a few communities. I have to admit that attempting to be the one dedicated poster has burned me out of a hobby and made me not want to post anything anymore. It certainly isn’t for everyone.

I absolutely love Children of Morta. I’ve got 3 saves at this point.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down a highway.

Had to? No. Should have, especially when extracting unknown files with a weird structure? Absolutely. BSD malware very much exists, which means Mac malware exists. You may have not felt the need to worry, but you very much should have been careful.

I second this. Scan everything before unzipping, and if you can know what the target files should contain beforehand.

Those fucks forcing money into their pockets from science are the absolute dregs of society. I actually respect angel investors more since maybe they made a good decision with their money (that feels gross to just type, even!). The fact that a select few companies are able to make science pay to win is absolutely sickening.

This is coming from someone that never even graduated college, let alone spending time in academia.

AT Launcher for Minecraft has a native Linux package. I know that isn’t the particular launcher you asked for, but it works great.

I mean, yeah. That isn’t necessarily the point here, though. There’s a lot of frustration surrounding the need for private trackers and we could maybe solve that here.
