TBH I don’t like FreeCAD - I fell like it’s like recommending Gimp as a serious alternative to Photoshop. With enough effort and deep knowledge you can almost achieve similar results but you have to invest multiple times as much time. The saving in licencing cost is very quickly eastern up by the increased labour cost.

There is an alternative that has come a long way IMHO, though: BlenderBIM. They are still not quite as good as ArchiCAD and such but it runs natively on Linux and is very neat so far.

Signal seem to be the least compromising messenger app out there with their privacy policy and open source code base. It’s only natural they are frequent victims of FUD.

And how is that determined? I found the shit that I took this morning immensely creative.

Dude, those are nice programs but if you need professional work done those are of very limited use. The only thing that is almost as useful as Adobe is Affinity and that’s also not running on Linux.

MAGArine?

I love Linux but Programs like CAD and professional graphics software don’t run. Still Linux is only an option for programming and gaming.

Ich bin auch für Klarnamenpflicht auf Nummernschildern.

And the Screenshot is made in the underdark, right west of the entrance below the goblin camp. This game deserves all of it praise.

Have not used Standard Notes yet. How does it compare to Obsidian?

I wanted to fully switch to Linux and FOSS for a while now but specialised software like CAD and image editing are either non existent or completely useless for professional purposes in their FOSS versions. What angers me most is that most is them could run on wine easily if the developers did some minor changes so it seems intentional.

Some of the tech they developed and use is open source. But the core tech is closed. For me, that’s good enough as long as they keep up acting with integrity they do.

Been using them for a while before switching to their paid version. Of course they are closed source and a business, so any hype and over the top praise is misplaced. That said they are indeed one of max a handful companies that never did anything to make me feel that my trust is misplaced. Their service is great, the products are well polished and reliable. Development is slow and they aren’t cheap. Their target audience is very security and privacy aware so any betrayal of trust would be punished incredibly hard. In that light, their own self interest should be a good insurance, should you be uncertain.

Das durchschnittliche Politiky aus Bayern hat auch sicher nie etwas von Phettberg gehört.

MacOS, iOS and stock Android, too for that matter. Dark times.

Wie wäre es, diese Energie gegen AfDP und CXU zu investieren anstatt gegen eine ohnehin zerfallende, aussterbende Partei, die nur nicht links genug ist?

Auch wenn ich in manchen Punkten zustimme, geht es mir maßlos auf den Sender, dass Linke sich untereinander gegenseitig angreifen, selbst wenn gefahren wie NSDAP oder AfD vor der Tür stehen. DAS ist Protofaschismus wenn man so argumentieren will.

I’m so proud of the polish people to manage to get out of the claws of that more and more dictatorship-like regime by purely democratic means. I never thought such a thing possible but it inspires hope.

Es ist nicht zu bezweifeln, dass es auch in diesem Fall so ist. Genau das ist der Grund warum der Beamte, der das meldete so zu loben ist. Deswegen heißt es ZivilCOURAGE.

Endlich wird die Idee mal in diesen Kreisen laut ausgesprochen.

This is a good and valid point but in the case of X, the real shit show started after our during the renaming period. Do if you want to point out the idiotic bullshit, I think X is the way to go. Nevertheless, that’s hard to pronounce, like “I re-X-ed your X” sounds like a messed up relationship issue.
