Alright, not very original but I’ll take it. Now do a)!

I am unsure how to express myself any clearer. Please proceed.

I’m actually interested in both ways your narration is going to go. Please describe both paths:

a) No, I had one but then we married.

b) No, I don’t.

Various comment sections on German IT news sites. Cesspit of incels and horny old men that complain about the ass they’ll have to stare at not being plump enough.

Most people don’t hate CEOs. They don’t care about CEOs. They have bigger issues to care about.

“…and that’s a good thing, so we’ll see to it that it remains that way. Divide and conquer.”

Snaps also can’t be mirrored locally or lifecycle controlled in an enterprise environment, as the server portion isn’t open source.

The point is: With OnShape, I’m able to wing it. Scan something, load the STL, define a few planes throughout the whole thing, freehand a few lines, extrude, offset here and there for clearance, print, forget. With FreeCAD I need to do it correctly and, as I just need a physical thing, I just don’t have the patience to find out what correctly would mean.

In my experience I have two possible decision paths: Do something using a commercial solution, OnShape in my case or try to do something using FreeCAD, get nowhere, look up tutorials, get somewhere but nowhere near what I need, give up, everything collects dust in the corner.

I get the free software idea and spirit, but I’d rather actually be able to just draw and print things I need. Between work, having a house, friends, voluntary firefighting, building automation for tasks in our little village and everything else the day only has about 24 hours and I can’t just cut sleep anymore as I did in my twenties.

I don’t think they like to be talked to that directly.

People won’t even rise up for their own sake. gestures in every general direction

Nah, I’m living outside the US, my home is made from proper bricks and concrete. A bit slower to build but rather good when it comes to sound insulation. I could imagine with those strand board walls that might be a problem though.

Ah, the sound of turning on the SCSI storage tower.

KA-TSCHONK. WeeeeeeeeEEEEEIIIIIII… skrrrt, skrrrt, clack.

Either that or KA-TSCHONK, silence, if there were already too many boxes on that circuit at a lan party 😁

I’ve found that the only thing you can hear through a closed basement door are noisy high speed fans, e.g. from used 19" servers, disks produce much less noise.

So, wait, your only network connected computing device is a mobile phone running iOS?
