  • not sure about the majority of the software but I'd recommend FreeCad as an alt to Solidworks

    • I've heard they're about to hit their 1.0 release sometime in the near future
  • Personal favorite: Eggplant.show

    Candid conversations with game creators that dive deep into the art, craft, and process of making games.

  • vicariously watching others play is our only solution now unfortunately

  • one of the best games of all time🙏

    if you haven't played please don't spoil yourself as The Outer Wilds is an incredible and enjoyable journey that many and I wish to experience for the first time again

    this is a game classified in the legendary status

    fellow mods; if possible I'd like to personally request a pin for silverchase's post

  • Fair enough
    although I asked as I didn't want to flood this thread from the back and forth but thinking again maybe it's ok?

    @hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone I've got a couple of questions:

    1. What's your approximate budget?
    2. What will this primarily be used for? [Work, school, personal] <- could be specialized or a mix of any.
    3. What's your experience with Operating Systems? (Windows, Linux, Mac) <- (asking here as you stated wanted something "easy to use").
    4. From your previous comment above what do you mean by "scrolling and playing"? I'm assuming web browsing and gaming? If this is correct what kinds of games do you typically play?

    Please read the section below before replying with answers for the above


    As you can see, some of these questions I typically ask can get a bit personal hence why I ask that I have private conversations unless the person in question consents and acknowledges that they're ok with sharing potentially private information (like even writing this out makes me sketched out as mishandling any type of private information can be a serious legal risk)

    In the end what matters most to me is helping people figuring out what they want/need

  • Fuck CN with that binding arbitration

    Power to Teamsters!✊

  • As a freelance IT consultant I could help you choose a laptop if you'd like as this was something I used to do back before the Reddit implosion

  • who would use it when Linux just works in addition to Microsoft's continued enshitification of Windows?

  • I'm glad that you were able to get your tmux problem solved!🤗

  • oh what the hell ✨NATIVE ANDROID SUPPORT✨ it looks like???

    damn this year's looking great for FOSS software dev🥳🤌

  • oh for sure

    I vote based on what a party has previously done cause we all know that promises at this point are equivalent to PR hype right?

  • I really hope Ontarians remember this as they're voting, otherwise the cycle will repeat :/

  • I can't help as I don't have exp with tmux or brew;
    but I do know that if you crosspost your post/question into c/linux you'll have a better time finding someone that knows how to help!🤗

  • Voting NDP seems better

    the CFP is portraying themselves as centrist but their policies and strategy is right learning
    alrighty then🥱

    Edit:
    ok after rereading I actually like one of their policy "planks":

    increasing competition in the airline, telecommunications and agricultural sectors.

    • although the agricultural sector here doesn't really make too much sense as it's not the fault of the farmers that produce and goods are expensive, it's our supermarkets like Loblaws that needs an increase in competitors
  • A barchart might be better as the comparison of instances with the most subscribed accounts doesn't mean much I feel

    we have some users that register but are inactive and/or are infrequently active which could be a sign of lurkers or bots but empty accounts don't mean much when it comes to the health of an instance.

    However; if we look at each community's active monthly and daily users it can tell another story and that data compared against Reddit's could be useful for anyone seeking alternatives

    I'm rambling with little sleep but hopefully what I've said make a little bit of sense
