I'll go with FreeCAD. I've known about it for a while and tried it about 5-10 years ago but have given it another look as I try to get back into CAD stuff and hate the restrictive licenses of commercial products. It has come a LONG way and is far more intuitive to use than it used to be.

TBH, I don't think it's that complex. They're all obsessed with accumulating wealth and power over others. The main differences are where they are from and how direct they are able to be in their pursuits under the constraints of their societies. Modern Western bourgeoise appear to envy those in Russia who seem to be able to take actions without needing PR. In the West, the working class aren't accustomed to people "falling" out of windows and, occasionally, the Western bourgeoise sacrifice one of their own to maintain the illusion that laws apply to them (frequently with minimal actual consequences for the sacrificee).

Yeah... It doesn't happen often and when it does, it's usually a driver and/or hw issue that is likely to leak memory and/or hold file descriptors but procs in D (uninterruptible_sleep) state do happen. It's really obnoxious that murdering them with SIGKILL does nothing.

I agree with you, to an extent. I would say it's a lot more complicated than that with World of Warcraft, which is an MMO, and does not revolve on gambling except in the aspect of random number generated loot.

The way that the drops are is literally the same approach as a slot machine but with more steps to take up your time with boring shit and require more of your life to be dedicated to it so that there is less risk of you getting distracted by things like hobbies or games with finite stories with quality writing. A one-armed bandit might snag a handful of whales that spend all of their time feeding the machine. The Wrath of the Lich Bandit gets a much larger percentage of its users in front of it for a larger amount of their time, increasing the ratio of addicts/whales caught. Add in expansions, real money auctions, etc and you've got something much more fucked up than anything on a Vegas casino floor.

Seconded. Commercialism and monetizing everything is what caused the www to rot. We don't need it here. Neoliberalism has already robbed generations of the right to simply exist or create without a profit motive, among other things, like literacy. Pretty sick of it.

YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO PAUSE ANY PRODUCTION RIGHT NOW!

Thinking about it, it might actually be beneficial. There's a number of orders that were put on hold due to the MAX clusterfuck.

Oh that's just the normal effect of the alien mind control rays.

I think that basically is yeah. Then, when they saw that it had gathered a following, admins on a #chan who were pro-Trump and think that they're super smart because they use Haskell took over to pump up fringe support.

I kinda envy folks who think that they have enough geopolitical importance for the CIA/NSA/ThreeLetterAgencies to be keeping tabs on them. I mean, it generally comes with a lot of baggage and delusions but, constantly that level of self-esteem and assuredness must be nice (not that I'm super low in my adult life).

Now, influence campaigns? That's a different animal altogether. There've been too many on the modern Internet for too long.

You've received a lot of great advice that I've seen. Definitely getting labs would be a good first step. I'd suggest working with your therapist on this, honestly. Supposing that you're not dealing with a deficiency or medication issue, it might be important to figure out how long you've been feeling this way, what way it is exactly that you're feeling, and figuring out what to do about it.

It's actually more of an issue of artificial supply and demand caused by a monopoly that controls ticket sales, secondary market, and venues. They're also very hostile to performing artists, using their monopoly to force them to play more expensive venues and charge higher prices or risk blacklisting at virtually every major venue. It's the kind of shit that anti-trust laws were created to prevent but, there has been little to no enforcement for near a half of a century.

Porque no los dos? Allowing major corps to put even more downward pressure on workers doesn't help anyone but the rich. LLMs aren't going to save the world or become sentient.
