Yeah, I was involved in injection moulding profesionally - on a customer side, just like Destin. Situation in Europe is very similar. While you can produce competitevly in Europe, to produce a mould most people go to China. Cheaper, faster, and just as good quality.

My work mandates Edge as a browser on the company PC. With Edge on Linux I can have a "work" browser on my private PC with bookmark sync etc.

I am using StarLite V with N200, which is very similar to N150. I find out perfectly acceptable. It is no speed demon but as my main daily PC for web, GIMP or minor gaming works great.

In EU from 2027 as per law (removable, not necessarily thick)

Windows will not allow me to attach a file to an email because it is opened in Word 🤷

This just proves that US tariff policies are unstable.

Why would any company move production to US based on tariff then? Imagine spending money to move a factory from China to America, and the next month tariffs flip flop and your competitor laughs at you all the way to the back counting earnings from their Chinese imports.

American anschluss of Canada to expand their lebensraum, because they feel they deserve it.

Musk does not hide how he feels about it, we wouldn't either.

I must say I am impressed with Organic maps already. OsmAnd, and Google maps for that matter, are much slower.

Good contents and ideas - which are actually implemented in Open Research Europe system. Minimal checks and balances, peer review as public comments after publication.

However I don't fully agree that peer review as we have today is worse than nothing. I published a bit and reviewed a bit more. I have marked for rejection probably a third of published papers for basic methodology errors that fully invalidate results. Those papers would just add to the noise that already exists via thousands of papers published...

Shipping is slow, but customer support is great actually

Rotation works for me flawlessly on Fedora Silver blue.

Send me a PM and I'll buy you a coffee ;)

Remember, for every paid SaaS, there is a free open-source self-hosted alternative

CAD. Free solutions compared to commercial ones (SolidWorks, Inventor, Fusion360, Onshape) are like comparing Photoshop to an open source Paint clone.

I think they dont care on purpose. Dual boot is a gateway drug, so the more problems with it the better for Microsoft.

I think you may like Expeditionary Force series, there is quite a bit of what you are looking for.

I guess Asimov Foundation series would also be a good candidate for world building.

Is this the Lemmy that is said to be less toxic than Reddit? Maybe it wasn't Subway, maybe it was something different. It was 10years ago, I may be misremembering the details.

Did I remember everything correctly? Dunno. Are you being a dick? That's 100%.

Damn it! Last year I upgraded to blockchain PC since my original Cloud-Native one was a disappointment.

I remember my first meal on my first visit to the US 10 years ago. It was Subway I think. I see a price advertised, but to my shock I paid almost double that. Fee for dining in, sales tax, too.

Crypto as currency = good.

Crypto as investment = bad.

First one is technological progress, the other is a Ponzi scheme.

The architecture can easily be open source - as long as repo is missing just the training data. Just like there are Doom engines that are open source, even though they do not provide WAD files, which are still copyrighted. The code is there, but it is somewhat useless without the data. Analogy is not perfect, but let's assume it compiles to a single binary containing everything, maps included.

If ID Software gives you a compiled Doom with maps free to use it is freeware. If they open source the engine (they actually did), but do not release the WAD files as open source, the compiled game is not open source - it is still freeware.

It is not complicated really.

Yesterday I've spent an hour to figure out how to make Cities Skylines use my RTX 2070 instead of the integrated one on PopOS. For me this is the main issue I face with games. Is having a dedicated AMD card instead better?
