War never changes.
Even as a kid watching that I remember being like “wait what… really?”
When they made it a major part of nemesis I was so annoyed.
GIMP is great but it definitely needs its own Blender 3.0 moment where they just completely overhaul the UI.
I’ve used it as my primary raster app so I’m way used to it now, but I totally understand the people who just never even bother to learn it because they are so turned off by the absolutely bonkers design decisions.

I wish Eric had given us pebble v2 instead of beeper, honestly.
Agreed. I also see them all over youtube videos and stuff and I just can’t keep reading/watching. Its not like an ideological thing, i don’t hate generated art. I just find it so distracting.

Cool thanks for letting us know. I gave it 5 bags of popcorn, and a little gold ring.
That reminds me I need to buy some land in bozeman montana.
Yeah you kinda nailed it.
Lemmy taught me that I wasn’t just running away from Reddit, but from the kind of content sites like Reddit engender.
Im not going to try and convince people who have already made their mind up, but I ditched Fusion for Blender ages ago and haven’t looked back. Its completely usable for CAD and precision design for 3D printing or what have you. Its not built for it, but its capable if you learn how.
The lack of pure CAD focus is a drawback, but it is largely made up for in blenders absolutely amazing general purpose tool set. Its not just mesh manipulation, with geometry nodes you can create complex intricate shapes that are also precise to your requirements. There are countless workflows and plugins that allow you to make blender adapt your needs. You can remix existing STLs and bring in reference photos/models/etc. Simply put IMO there is no need to use any other program for almost any aspect of 3D design, and so it has become my go to.
I don’t recommend it for beginners, but it really is an incredibly powerful tool if you put the work in. Is it better that FreeCAD or Fusion? I am not qualified to say, but I’m pretty confident there are few features either package has that blender does not.
It was $79.00 USD before shipping/etc.
For coding I almost prefer it?
I think we take for granted how much predictive magic is happening behind the scenes on capacitive touch keyboards like on smartphones. I often find coding on a smartphone kind of challenging because it starts autocorrecting natural language, but on this its pretty easy since its just what you type is what you get. Lots of mistakes still, but having modifier keys available is also helpful.
I’m not trying to say its great, its just… very fine? Very okay.
the keyboard is definitely “fine” to type on, its just a blackberry keyboard. The driver for the keyboard is also in development so theres not much support for using the trackbutton as a mouse. The display is difficult for practical use, its a monochromatic screen, there is no backlit, and the pixel density isn’t amazing so you can’t see full lines of code, lots of wrapping. It’s better than having NO display in the field though. I actually really like it, its quirky, but with some struggle it is very usable.
I got the general idea from the iPod Mini
Its basically a metal flatish sort of cylinder with a central chassis that slides in and out. I’ve used this technique a lot for printed enclosures because it feels pretty strong to me, and usually pretty easy to print, even with overhangs, since its such a regular shape. You also dont have to worry about applying components to the inside face of the case, since the whole things just slides in.

I dont get the hysteria, personally.
I came here to escape the crowds, not migrate with them.
Videos like that I’m always amazed the creator even bothers uploading. I’d be so fucking embarassed it would never see the light of day.
But I guess its sunk cost fallacy. Gotta get that content out there I spent a week working on. I guess I can appreciate that. Theres also something to be said about being honest about your fuckups. I was so embarassed for him I noped out of that video so I dont really know how it ended, but I dont recall there being much humility about it?
