  • so unintuitive that it drives me nuts and I just boot into Windows when i want to design something functional to 3D Print.

    People often recommend Linux alternatives, but that’s the thing—an alternative on Linux has to be a preferable to just booting into a spare Windows hard drive.

    If restarting my computer, booting up windows, opening F360, modeling my part, exporting it to a flash drive, restarting my computer, and booting back into Linux is faster than figuring out how to make that same model in OpenSCAD or whatever, then I’m gonna be restarting my computer a lot.

    Here’s the article. Imagine losing access to everything that your physical driver’s license can’t help you get back. I would be in jail for one reason or another if google fucked my life over that bad

    As for Mark, Ms. Lilley, at Google, said that reviewers had not detected a rash or redness in the photos he took and that the subsequent review of his account turned up a video from six months earlier that Google also considered problematic, of a young child lying in bed with an unclothed woman.

    Mark did not remember this video and no longer had access to it, but he said it sounded like a private moment he would have been inspired to capture, not realizing it would ever be viewed or judged by anyone else.

    They could have just made this up wholesale. What is Mark gonna do about it? He literally doesn’t have access to the video they claim incriminates him, and the police department has already cleared him of any wrongdoing. Google is just being malicious at this point.



  • I get where you’re coming from, but understand that your way of enjoying things isn’t necessarily the right way to enjoy them. Some would say that ignorance of the technical aspects of a game’s design betrays a shallow appreciation of the work based entirely on its aesthetic value.

    This is a bit like telling athletes that they should appreciate the human body for what it is, rather than try and lift the heaviest weight or run the fastest. Part of a holistic appreciation for the human body/a work of art/a video game is an understanding of what makes it tick, what its limitations are, and how far you can push the limits.

    I also don’t much like watching speedruns, but I can understand that while some speedrunners are only in it for the numbers, the vast majority of them appreciate the games on a deeper level than I ever could.
