Very different. I haven't used FreeCAD much but it is far more visual and full-featured (I believe it even has some simulation features for moving parts) where OpenSCAD is really just primitive shapes and scripting but for my workflows (mostly creating 3D printed parts) it works well
OpenSCAD and Gitlab. I can quickly iterate on designs through code, push it to my Gitlab instance, and have my CI/CD pipelines pick it up, render it, and automatically slice it in some common profiles to send to Octoprint
And they were right, it's fucking dope. Doubt they'll recoup costs given Vegas as a whole is dying in favor of online gambling / sports betting and more local entertainment options
I'm well aware - as a public university things are a bit different as they are agents of the state so this becomes a free speech issue. Also, if a university's student internet is the same network containing PII systems like their student records, there are much bigger problems. That's why I mentioned that this action without any legislation that would curtail Bytedance's data collection presents a student rights conundrum. The app does not (as far as we are aware) inject or capture information from the users network but rather the user themselves which they have consented to. The larger issue is whether or not the US should allow foreign entities to collect this info and that's not something the university should be able to decide but rather the state and federal regulatory agencies and legislatures
Clemson isn't private, it's public. It is certainly their prerogative to secure their network and their users' data but there are definitely concerns over government censorship. I don't think this issue is as black and white as people ITT are making it out to be and absent a larger policy stance that would van TikTok or it's practices, I'm not sure this is the right move though I understand their position given the inaction of state and national legislatures in banning foreign spyware
Seems to be much ado about nothing currently. Even in the release notes it clarified that this feature is not yet included and the quarantine list will be shared once ready (and will at first be mostly test domains). The blog seems to be wildly speculating on its intended use and possible impacts given the knowledge currently available
Are you surprised? After SA continued doing business with Russia after much of the west had imposed sanctions this type of inconvenience is expected. It's petty and exactly the type of thing delegates are used to
