I've started using FreeCAD for CAD work, I've used Fusion 360 for 5 years before trying FreeCAD (again, I tried it a few years ago) and it works pretty good.
It's different and it's taking some getting used to but it's working out quite nicely so far.
I'd say there's also some corners of Lemmy that feel like the slightest provocation leads to an absolute dog pile of people being super angry looking for a fight.
That aspect blows but it's usually helped by making sure that the instance your account is on is federated (or specifically NOT federated) with specific other instances.
Though this place is so much more chill than Reddit it's fucking mindblowing
On the note of "keeping your phone in airplane mode":
No Bluetooth enabled devices is a good point too.
Those devices broadcast identifiable data whenever Bluetooth is enabled, and that data can be logged very easily. If an app has Bluetooth permissions it has the capability of logging that info. Or a simple device that logs nearby Bluetooth devices. About 2 years ago I placed a device in my apartment next to a road and within a week I had the habits of my neighbors logged with accurate timestamps. I took that device apart after that, it's a macropad now.
So for the sake of privacy, no Bluetooth headphones, watches, etc near your "Go bag" phone when it has a battery in it. IMO avoid such devices in general.
Basically Lightroom is for editing photos in a specific format, there's a couple alternatives that work well on Linux. Primarily Darktable and RawTherapee.
It's really good at what it does and is basically an industry standard.
But Adobe being Adobe I really want to stop giving them money but I need to replace it first.
I'm just trying to play a game 😭
