Why in the hell is there a Facebook link on my Lemmy feed

I might learn other cad software eventually, but I already have 4 years experience with solidworks and will basically have to use it for college anyways so I won't get any benefit at the moment. As for gaming, I have gamed on Linux and know it works fine, it is just overall more of a hassle and needs more time than I can commit to right now, at some point I intend on fully switching over as much as I can and properly learning how to maintain Linux.

Im pretty sure Inventor is the other main industry cad software, and considering they are both Autodesk it may also work ok.

I've used OpenScad a little, definitely agree it's only good for small things.

I have the exact same list for power metal lol, only thing I'd add is twilight force.

I also like chiptune stuff, a great artist that kinda crosses over chiptune and metal is rainbowdragoneyes, he has done remixes of gloryhammer and alestorm, and has a whole EP of remixed and OC pirate metal chiptune.

Mint, because it's what my dad put on my first laptop when I was like 10 or something. I remember playing minetest and FTL on it.

Personally I'll just use windows since I don't mind it that much, although even in my few weeks using it on the laptop I got windows 11 is significantly worse than 10, been having some goofy audio mixing issues. I do kinda want to try it on wine tho just for the hell of it and see what happens.

I've heard mostly good things about onshape besides assemblies being weird. Haven't tried it out yet but I also have ~4 years experience in Solidworks already from using it for robotics club in HS and like it well

Yeah my main PC is dual-booted Linux mint and Windows 10, I used Windows more over time both because gaming is slightly easier but also the way my dad set it up there were time controls on Linux and not on windows so as soon as I figured out or was given the windows password it all went downhill.

I want to get back into using Linux more but I'm worried it won't be until after college

Same way all the posts about solar and wind are. It's about bringing a technology back to the US too

I'm betting stuff like Factorio or Satisfactory where excel spreadsheets and such are actually useful for playing the game properly.

I don't remember where but I remember seeing something that literally just needed a bunch of RFID chips or something on the road, honestly just making a standard chip and then making them pay for it would work great. It's way safer and more reliable than current systems.

yeah that does seem pretty nice. definitely looking forward to it on any future cars i own!

I'm on Android and have seen similar things happen on low data connections where images will very slowly load top down lines at a time, even occasionally on my laptop. I think it's because there is no automatic compression or small max size on pictures like reddit so you get high quality images trying to load. It might be something else too tho idk

Thanks, that seems pretty cool! Not a whole lot more than what I can currently do with my phone on a holder, assuming it isn't using Android auto for the Bluetooth connection and I just don't know. it already reads texts aloud and can do calls from the car screen, and music can be controlled through it too. I think there is a way to speak back to it too but we've never bothered to do the voice recognition training on it

Can someone explain what exactly carplay/Android auto do? I've seen a lot about them recently but have yet to fully understand what they are, besides that they are for interfacing with a car.

My experience with connecting phones to my (parent's) cars is just using Bluetooth to connect and play music from the car speakers and receive calls and texts over it but that's about it. The cars are both Toyota RAV4s, one fully ICE one hybrid.

This posting by op is ironic based on their replies, but unfortunately it was probably created unironically, there are a lot of people who actually think like this

"i want to be a toxic asshole to people with different understandings and values than me about the platform we all share" - you, pretty much,

you can still be civil and accept that people have differing opinions even when you have such strongly held beliefs. there may be a 'correct' answer but not everyone will immediately see that, and about already commiting to doing nothing, they literally cannot take any action on the matter yet because threads has no federation or defederation connections yet, and we have plenty of time to disuss it and come to a reasonable decision.

as a firm part of the "new reddit crowd" (been on reddit for about 2 years) lemmy is certainly better, but i also miss some aspects of reddit, but the thing is the whole reason i moved here is because the reddit went to shit and is no longer like it was. i still occasionally look at some of the smaller communities i was in but the larger ones are either partially destroyed or are just better here.

im not coming from the exact perspective of who you replied to, but unironically i would say none have "worked". and most likely none ever will, at least for a very long time. no system can ever work perfectly as intended, there will always be problems an ways to improve it. there may be some that are significantly better than others (personally, i like some form of democratic socialism) but it will always be a game of tradeoffs and slowly improving

Im somewhat similar, also younger and have a fair amount of big tech/google stuff. i am fairly aware of the dangers and try to compromise safety and security with convenience. my dad is MUCH more serious about security and privacy than me or the rest of my family, and does IT stuff for all the linux computers at a univerity near me. he of course has all linux stuff, buys the dumbest tech possible, etc. I wont sign up for threads purely because of how much data they want to collect, and would rather interface with it over the fediverse.

There is a lot of simple things you can do that wil greatly increase privacy/security without sacrificing ease of use or UX. firefox + ublock origin will eliminate 99% of tracking, data collection, and ads on the internet. that is most of the actual software stuff i do, other than just not signing up for an excessive number of things and giving too many people my data (even this i dont do super hardcore.)
