  • The execs take perverse delight in the ways they rob the workers of their wealth, make them suffer, and leave them to die. They are cruel and oppressive. They aren’t simply lap dogs, and not all of then are beholden to hire ups. Many of them like Bezos and Musk are the ones in charge.

    If you work at a company, did you elect the execs of that company? Do you have any way within the system of the company to hold said execs in check when they abuse their power? Did you vote for the pay scale of the company? Did you vote on benefits packages?

    The answer to all these is almost certainly no. The execs are the business equivalent of dictators. They are tyrants, even if “benevolent” or controlled by a higher up tyrant.

    And we see the same thing happen on a country level on the world stage. Big powers will topple or influence small countries and install a dictator that is beholden to the big power. That doesn’t make the dictator any less of a dictator just because they themselves are owned.






  • This is exactly the thing I’ve been looking for. It saves everything as a sqlite db, and has csv export options. So you’re not fucked over if you need to switch to something else. It’s compatible for linux/windows.

    And the import options seem pretty good too.

    Congrats, you’ve made me spend the whole day switching everything over to that lol.

    The only real issue is that one of my banks deals with more than one type of currency. So I’ve had to write a custom script to handle that. But all in all, this is a massive upgrade for me. Thank you for this recommendation.







  • I’m very sorry for your bad user experience! What you’ve described, sounds like some basic user errors which would’ve been easily solved by sticking to good modeling practices

    The most egregious issue I had was in trying to loft between two faces, such that the curve between the faces was a 3D one.

    In Fusion360, it’s pretty damn simple, you click the first face, ctrl+ click the second, then select the loft option. Then it’s pretty much done.

    In FreeCad/Ondsel, in trying to look up a tutorial to see how such an operation is normally done, the only tutorial that got me remotely close was this one.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv53D00KdGQ

    Following the tutorial would lead to errors, crashes, and even if it had worked, it is such a painful way to do this operation.

    So this isn’t simply an issue with bad modeling practices. Maybe it’s a terrible tutorial and there is better options out there. But the ease in which it is possible to do this task in Fusion360 should be the gold standard.


  • They fundamentally solve the Topo-Naming-Problem I propose to try again after the next release.

    I’m not super familiar with that problem, as it has been a minute. But I might try to give it another go at some point.

    I don`t know the #Onsel fork. In what way does it differ from #Freecad or Freecad from #realthunder?

    From a user perspective, it has a much more friendly UI in my opinion. When you click on an object, it displays a list of all possible actions you can take with said object. That to me was a huge upgrade over the base FreeCad implementation.







  • AgainstHateSubreddits deem anything and everything they don’t agree with a hate sub.

    Isn’t that kinda the purpose of the subreddit by definition? The things they disagree with is bigotry, so I don’t see why it’s a surprise that the things they call out are things they disagree with.

    But even if I did agree with you here, them being wrong about something doesn’t automatically mean that they’re doing damage.

    but there’s little to no evidence of this. I wouldn’t put it past them though…

    If there is little to no evidence, why bring it up?

    It’s the kind of crap that has turned Reddit into a partisan hellhole and not the bastion of open discussion that was originally envisioned.

    Is that doing that really the cause? Because it seems that political polarization is happening everywhere online.

    Can’t find the specific Reddit comment but Yishan Wong (Reddit’s former CEO) has gone on record to say that that they were at one point doxxing and harassing Reddit employees, yet nobody on the team had the nerve to actually ban them from the site.

    I tend not to put too much belief into the word of reddit admins. Just look at the current drama between /u/spez and the Apollo dev Christian.

    I completely agree that he needed to go but not with how he was basically doxxed

    Did this actually have anything to do with /r/againsthatesubreddits?
