I dunno why you say FreeCAD is bad. When I got my 3d printer I picked it because I knew fusion would rug pull eventually, and fusion doesn't run on Linux without jumping through a bunch of hoops.

It takes a bit to learn, just like any app. But it's just as powerful. I really like the spreadsheet usage in FreeCAD to keep all my dimensions in one place.

Because rebase is fraught with peril, if you also push rebased branches upstream and someone else works off that branch.

If you stick to the rule of only using rebase on local branches that have never been pushed upstream, it's an awesome tool. If you don't, you're eventually going to cause someone to have a bad day.

I wonder how much of the 15% who were dissatisfied with the academic instruction were dissatisfied due to it not having religious instruction, but didn't want to indicate it outright by choosing the specific choice for that.

Of course not all homeschooling is bad. But these days it does seem that homeschooling tends to skew towards the ultra-conservative MAGA Jesus crowd.

I think it's very much a "you get what you pay for" thing. Cheap Dells are cheap. The XPS line is not cheap. I've had two XPS 13s now, and the build quality is top notch. And easy to open up and work on.

I see them in vintage EVA suits from TOS!

When I built my latest Plex server, I chose to put ECC RAM into it. But it was a pain getting all the hardware, due to the silly rules AMD has for ECC support and iGPU support in its chips.

Yeah I'm in the same boat. Watching them blush and be awkward was super cute and now I just want them to figure it out. She's a catch Rutherford, go for it!

There's a bunch of different package managers too. It all just kinda works.

Flatpack isn't without its own quirks and flaws. There is no One True Way. Being open-source, there shouldn't be one.

It is definitely slow though, mostly on first run.

PWAs still lock you into the Chrome ecosystem since Firefox doesn't support them (without plugins and pain).

Chicken tax is an example.

True, but didn't Starshield happen after this stuff? I guess I need to relook at the timeline. But as I remember things, he started tossing starlink access at Ukraine, tried to get DoD to pay, they chose not to. Then he started to these games, and after that DoD started paying up. Starshield was announced a little bit after that.

Not what you wish to hear, but for web browsing, use Firefox. The Android version still supports plugin like uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger. Ad blockers are effectively dead in Chrome with the advent of manifest v3.

Firefox accounts work very much like your Google account in chrome, so it was relatively straightforward to migrate. Just install firefox on your desktop, get your Mozilla account set up, and use the desktop tools to migrate from chrome to firefox. Then once it's good on your desktop, install firefox on your android devices and sign in to your Mozilla account, everything should sync.

Passwords I'd recommend not using any browser solution and instead use something like bitwarden.

Breaking the Google chains are tedious but doable!

I am skeptical of the quality of audio on YouTube. And of full album tracks running together properly.

Am I wrong?

Curious why you keep the arrs internal only, when there are things like Authelia that could secure access to them?

Vast majority are obese, close enough to infirm.

I think the public perception would sway considerably when weapon grade material is no longer a possibly byproduct

This is unfortunately something that a layperson who's unfamiliar with the tech will always have a hard time understanding. I don't think any reactor built in the US for power generation could ever be used to make weapons grade plutonium. From what I've read we only build light water reactors here, which aren't good for such things. But how many regular folks take the time to learn about all the different types of reactors and how they work and what they're good for? I only did it because the history of nuclear tech intrigues me.

and the worst case scenario drops from a quarantine zone several square miles to power plant just going into lockdown for a few weeks

Similar to above. These new reactors coming online are Gen III reactors, and have passive cooling features, so Fukushima-like events shouldn't be able to happen anymore. But again, few people I think take the time to learn about this stuff at all.

It doesn't help either that regulatory capture has caused old Gen II designs without the passive cooling backups continue to get their licenses extended. Accidents will continue to be bad until we retire the ancient reactors, and start replacing the with new ones that have the benefit of half a century of operational experience and manufacturing advancements to inform their designs to be safer.

Part of me is intrigued to dig out my N7 and install LoS 20 on it. But I have to imagine that it is slooooooooooooow.

Not much to say beyond this episode was amazing. I love how this crew can do it all - lighthearted comedy, to dark, emotional drama. The scars that Ortegas, Chapel, and M'Benga wore in this episode felt real. When Chapel hesitated at knocking the one guy out of the pattern buffer, and M'Benga just cooly smacked the button, it was a clear reminder that war is hell and it breaks people.
