Fusion is cloud-only, as well, annoyingly.

I'd love to have a Linux-based 3D CAD program, but the open source ones just aren't up to scratch.

I've tried using FreeCAD, but it still scrambles things topologically (for example: adjust an underlying object and your fillets may get totally hosed).

Fusion is especially frustrating as they have a macOS version. A Linux version really shouldn't be much different.

Ah open source 3D CAD is a topic on its own... Personally I like to use Dune3D and solve space, but those only do 3D modeling.

Yep, this aligns with my experience. I’ve yet to take the plunge into cross compiling with rust though, might have to try that.

It's been a comfortable journey for me. There's a support library for the arm cortex I'm using so it was very easy to get some LEDs to blink. Obviously we had to implement some drivers manually (UART for example) and there's lots of unsafe code, but overall the language makes a lot of things very nice on bare metal.

If you tools are not updated that isn't the fault of C++. You will feel the same about Rust when forced to used a 15 year old version too (as I write this Rust 1.0 is only 10 years old). Don't whine to me about these problems, whine to your vendors until they give you the new stuff.
juliangmp · 11 days ago
My experience with vendor toolchains is that they generally suck anyway. In a recent bare metal project I chose not to use the vendor's IDE and toolchain (which is just an old version of GCC with some questionable cmake scripts around it) and instead just cross compile with rust manually. And so far its been a really good decision.

That seems mostly useful for proprietary programs. I don't like it.

Why? Foss software also benefits from less dependency hell.

Thats cool and all but the majority of the country still has one, or at most two choices :/

I own a FTTH connection to Telekom since 2018, as the only provider in my street, allowed to install an internet connection (only glass fiber).

Since then, I have always used my own device and I maintain a GitHub Snippet in how to connect OpenWRT modem (and by extension, any other modem that supports pppoe), rather than their Huawei SpeedPort crap or the more expensive Fritz Box). Link to Gist : https://gist.github.com/madduci/8b8637b922e433d617261373220b...

I use PiHole in my own network, circumnavigating the DNS limitations, using Quad9 as my main DNS provider, but Unbound is on my to-do list.

The most concerning limitation in the German market is the unavailability of native Glass Fiber modems, that can accept as input a Glass Fiber connection: at the moment, providers install their own Glass Fiber modem. Without it, you can't actually have an internet connection at home

Im actually quite okay with that. Why should I have to pay for specialized hardware that won't be usable if I move and the new apartment uses DSL or docsis. Give me an rj45 (or sfp for some fiber connections) and let me put whatever Router I want behind it.

But the qusstion never got answered. If you liked a song that you later realized was generated would it ruin the song?

If a robot ai basketball team was authentic enough to have hoodwinked me into thinking it was a real entertaining team then it has become a different question than whether or not I would knowingly participate as a spectator in an AI basketball league.

juliangmp · a month ago
For me, yes it would.

I have less than zero interest in art that isn't made by humans.

"Why don't you just clone the repo?" Yes. Why dont you?

If you're gonna grab a repo to make a code theft machine then at least dont ddos the servers while you're at it.
