I donate small amounts to open source projects and content creators that .make stuff for everyone because I really believe it’s a great way of fighting capitalism and many of the problems it’s caused.

Everything in space is a planet, even the moon

Big fan of the free info for the world, state funded open source solutions targeted at shitty companies would be good too - I’d probably start by utterly destroying Adobe snd then an open source printer that’s easy to manufacture on fllosh machines to kill HP and the rest of the awful junk companies.

It’s the best map for finding businesses in my town, well OSM which it uses is because I updated them all using street complete and the web interface. You can be part of the effort to make free solutions the best solutions by upgrading your own areas info.

Yeah, if I had dependents they’d gather round the campfire chanting these mystical runes in the husk of our fallen society

Absolutely, I think general people being able to participate with testing and design ideas would be a huge boost for those that design stuff, it’s so difficult having to work out what to try and determining what works, also building information about the product, researching methods and comparing them, etc. I think it could be a really interesting system where there’s useful work to be done at every level.

Absolutely it is and it’s a growing movement, my 3d printer is old and cheap but it’s already stopped me buying a whole class of products (i.e. small plastic fixings and cases) the newer technologies are incredibly cool especially some of the pick-and-place enabled multi toolhead models.

Since I first started following the reprap project home fabrication has increased in quality massively, there are a lot of sites with endless things you can download that have continually improved over the years. CAD and slicers have improved hugely, they’re going to continue to at an increasing rate not only as more people use them but coding tools are getting better too - my projects have benefitted hugely from ai streamlining the coding process I’m sure CAD software writers are benefitting too.

We’re not too far from ai gen CAD which will be a game changer, having chat gpt style ai help guide you through putting together open source projects will help users too - being able to say ‘i need to upgrade the motor in my washing macjine’ and ai can help select a range of options ‘this motor and that controller or thia controller and that motor…’ finding local companies that will fabricate the parts for you so they plug into the bits you fabricate at home, or local companies fabrication open source designs.

Collaborative design projects are the key, I’ve been working with a few people trying to find methods that make it easy for large amounts of people doing small things to make meaningful progress on big projects. I think it’ll become common for most people to be involved in at least some form of collaborative project once people are used to using open source designed items fabricated in the way generics are.

Elden ring just looks so ugly

I love kden, very logical ui and love that it can do anything. What is it about DaVinci that appeals?

Yes like in America gun violence never happens because everyone has guns.

Hmmm

But it’s kinda stupid to cry about warnings too, why shouldn’t people be able to avoid content they don’t want to watch? If you’re such a tough guy that pixels don’t scare you then you’re tough enough that you can probably live through a world that chooses to make concessions in the form of content warnings for those who need or prefer them.

Pure FUD

Have we started to get reddit style bait on lemmy now? There’s no way someone can communicate so poorly in this and multiple responses while blaming someone else for not understanding.

It’s pretty funny, I’ll give you that.

You should, a great place to start is helping write documentation. A lot of big projects have groups that work on creating user guides and api info, some programming experience is normally required but not as much as when contributing code so it’s a great way of building understanding and confidence.

I clearly didn’t put them in the same category, I said they use the same defensive arguing tactic to justify their toxic bahviour.

And no its not THE problem, I’m able to post a comment on a thread without it totally consuming my life.

Stalks my post history to find out I use Ubuntu for my daily driver. Didn’t mention I’ve been using Linux since before the twin towers fell and am a long term open source dev and contributor…

Almost like you purposely chose to be deceptive or something. I know it wasn’t a choice though, this kind of immorality comes naturally to you and maybe you’re not even aware of it. You should try and work on it though, you’ll be amazed how much better a life of radical self awareness is.

Isn’t it embarrassing using the same excuses as every 4chan racist and misogynist?

You’re affecting how people perceive Linux and doing so in a negative way, I’m not going to try and stop you or anything but I am going to say I think you’re a bad person working against all the efforts and hard work of people trying to make a better world.

How you feel about it is upto you.

Oh and of course this was just a joke so you have to laugh and agree, right?

Ah, yes, ANOTHER post trying to make Linux seem impenetrable and elitist with an attack on Ubuntu - I swear you guys must work for Microsoft.

I bet you’d get upset if someone pruned your trashy videogsme collection.

Is it really so hard just to let people enjoy what they enjoy without being a dick about it?

I think the point is you can put a fully updated new Linux on a decade old ThinkPad but with windows you’d need to buy a whole new laptop to run modern stuff also it would be unusably slow
