Good. I need one of those and make it wearable for the people wearing smart glasses.

Stop, orange man, you’re making me blush :)

Wasn’t there an article a couple of days ago that they were giving up on going for-profit and will remain non-profit?

Easily tonight tonight tonight :)

I guess I will be cuttting my SAP stock out of my portfolio by requirement of my conscience. It’s so little that they won’t care, but it would leave a sour taste in my mouth. Truly disappointing.

Either they elected a new pope or they are burning coolant, meaning the papal headgasket has blown.

… and possibly your customers. But taking things into your own hands is always worth it in the end. Pore power to you!

I read the headline in the article preview and my first thought was “why is DOS used in windows deployment services?!”

Agreed. I actually prefer Kicad to Altium. For the things I do it is more than sufficient.

Microsoft built their HQ in Munich as part of the “deal” as far as I remember. Something along those lines. The secret ingredient is corruption.

CAD is a huge pain point for me as well. I used all sorts of packages from PTC when it was still called Pro/E to the Autodesk 3D solutions with a stint of NX in between. Nothing that works on Linux that isn’t o shape is usable for me. I genuinely tried working with freecad but it doesn’t fit me.

It won’t be a big bang, but a gradual change. It has already started.

Religious symbols of any shouldn’t have a place in public office. States are secular and include people from all background and religious beliefs. Everyone should have the right to display the symbols of their faith in private. There was this quote once that likened religion to a penis - it’s ok to have one and to be proud of it but don’t shove it down other people’s throats.

Maybe a wave hit it.

Is this the first step towards becoming flaming dragon?

Amen! I remember the good old days of speciality community forums based on VB or even phpBB or in some cases Woltlab. I miss the simpler times.

Blink blink. Bigly winning the art of the deal!

I find the switch to hosting communities on proprietary closed platforms kind of bad in terms of access to the vast knowledge and archiving it for future generations. When discord will go full enshittified, it will just charge a subscription fee to access the “servers”. Also they will sure as hell comply with anything if it threatens the bottom line.
