I used to model in openSCAD and do tool paths in fusion. Good combo for the most part, but there were some issues like cutting slots that never worked well; the slot always had to be wider than the tool. Fusion works better on its own proprietary models than on STLs.

OpenSCAD is super fun and I have built things in it too. It is just for the modeling and doesn’t do tool path stuff like fusion360; but I think you could import models into freeCAD and do tool paths there.

to me the main difference was having to use a different package manager. so no biggie really. and arch has an awesome wiki. the documentation made things too easy so now I use nixos BTW

for xmonad commands. also windows-p is dmenu.

Age 57 here. We kind of blobbed up a bit during the pandemic. About a 18 months ago we started walking every day at lunch, about 2.5 miles. Not huge distance but just being consistent with it I think has helped us a lot. We did a few hikes this year that I don’t think we could have done (or not without more injury risk) without the consistent walking.

For me tendonitis has been a thing. Got my first case of it in my late 20s and have had several bouts of it since - achilles, hip flexors, wrist, etc. Learning to recognize that as a problem and what to do to recover is important, as repetitive stress injuries can keep you from doing a lot of things.

maybe could filter the comments based on tag as well.

What I think would be interesting would be to have communities be tags rather than exclusive categories. So if you make a post, you can add more than one tag to it, provided you are a ‘member’ of those tags.

Tags would have moderators much like communities have moderators now, to preserve the meaning of the tag. So you could have a tag like ‘billionaire media’, and members could slap that tag on all nyt, wapo, etc articles. Moderators would boot members who misapplied the tag.

Then what would be interesting would be to use the tags for searches, like ‘news’ minus ‘billiionaire media’.

Pretty significant changes from what lemmy is today, so would be either a fork of lemmy or a from scratch new program.

services not protocols

I dunno about ‘friendly’, but my setup is minimal configuration and about as stable and unchanging as the terminal. Its xmonad with xfce in no-desktop mode. My xmonad configuration is extremely minimal because I mostly don’t care about customization. I set terminal=alacritty and the thickness and color of the outline around the focus window, and that’s it.

Because I have xfce backing me up, I get the benefit of monitor layout, mouse settings, the xfce session logout window, etc etc.

As for using xmonad itself. You’re just going to have to pull up the keyboard reference on your phone until you can get around ok, there’s no help and no explanation. When you boot into it you get a blank screen lol.

For launching programs, you windows-p and you get the dmenu program launcher at the top of the screen. Type the first few letters of whatever program and hit enter.

I’m with you, I never heard of nova launcher until now, and not sure why I would want it.

contracting and consulting. house painting for instance, computer programming, landscaping, etc.

There’s no such thing as a “dating league”. People are selective, but the nature of that selectivity depends on the individual. For some social status is of primary importance. If you don’t boost their social status they’ll move on. For others, its do you get along, do your personalities mesh well. For others, its life goals - want kids yesterday, or don’t want any ever? For others, its dating someone who is self supporting and not an abusive psycho. It can feel like a rigid classification if a lot of girls seem to have similar values.

a little USB box that you plug the phone into, made it into an audio device. needed windows drivers and I no longer use windows.

very solid, built to last. I used to use it to talk on skype.

One of these telephones. Was my grandfather’s.

maybe search for system76 too. I found one on my local craigslist.

loving my recently acquired T480. not the fastest by any means, but solid and great keyboard. plus non-soldered memory allows for upgrades. got mine off craigslist for 120, a steal.

Lately I’ve been watching videos from twoodfrd on youtube. Guitar luthiery. Gets me napping like no other. Found another that seems promising “Machinery Restorer”. Turn on subtitles if you need to be quiet.

when someone tailgates me, I slow down.
