Hell, I’d rather use Blender than FreeCAD. FOSS devs really need to get some UI and UX designers involved. Or at least someone with the skill set to know how to make not-ass UIs and UXs

Every time I’ve used FreeCAD it felt miserable to use. Idk if I was doing something wrong, but it felt horrendous

So about 25,000 peoples minimum drinking water per day per bouy. Not too bad there.

Or the overall average water usage of ~13.2 people (went with the first number cause I ain’t researching things rn)

Yeah, cause the rank and file have to work overtime to fix that shit when it breaks

The US isn’t on the hook for it’s own war crimes, terrorism, or assassinations, so that wouldn’t matter

What is an Anzus?

Lol, you’re good

This is a Beehaw post, not Hexbear. Heaxbear is filled with sorry ass tankies

Hey, American here browsing all…

What the absolute hell is this talking about?

Agreed. I don’t have 90s Internet memories like a lot of here, but I do have some early 2000a Internet memories, which I honestly think was better than the 90s Internet cause we’d worked out a lot of the kinks.

Forums were a great place to chat with people about whatever and in 99% of cases, people were polite enough. People talked about this and that. I and others shared their discoveries in video games on sites like GameFAQs (rest in peace, I put up so many Mario Kart DD tips).

People treated interactive sites like they were neighborhoods. Sure, a ton of drama would pop up, same as any neighborhood, and sometimes that drama made modernTwitter drama seem tame, but it stayed within the community the majority of the time and it either got resolved or ended up killing the site. Either way people got over it and moved on.

Nowadays, just keeping up with memes and drama is a full time job. Just 5 years ago I could stay on top of things, now it feels like what’s funny changes the second I see it, and I’m not even old (I was just on the Internet at way too young). Hell, rage comics and impact memes were a think for over a decade.

Lemmy has so far felt like a nice middle ground between the old days of things lasting more than five minutes and people not just immediately being dicks (as long as you block everything LG and Hexbear) plus modern comforts in technology.

Fair enough, but it when most people hear the name, they expect what they see in media and not what it is in real life

“Silencer” is the older and frankly BS term. Silencers don’t silence anything outside of video games and movies. They more “suppress” the noise and muffle it a bit.

Basically it’s the difference of firing it outside and having your ears ring forever or just for a long time

Oh THATS why it’s called Gentoo!

I knew it was a penguin and I knew about the distro, but I never put the two together

Exactly. And while we shouldn’t swoop to their level at all, we need some kind of marketing to counteract all their bullshit

Us leftists need to step tf up and hire some marketing people or something. People seem to be getting fed up with spineless liberals promising a lot and delivering nothing of substance. Conservatives keep promising them easy solutions, while leftists require you to read 10,000 pages of theory to understand the basics.

While you can’t bundle leftist ideology into the political equivalent of a get rich quick scheme like conservatives, there has to be a better way to market our concepts

Man, I miss Disney Infinity. The toy requirement was stupid, but the building was a ton of fun

I mean, they’re right as well. Especially here in the South. Until recently where small, local barbershops have become almost a thing of the past. The guy I used to see as a kid (when I had no choice) would chase black people out of his shop with a shotgun while shouting slurs.

His shop only closed when he died in 2010. Racist fucker was almost 100.

Every barbershop where I am used to be like that.

I definitely read the headline and thought “please don’t be my state again”
