Disappointed. Trying to find meaningful ways to protect our migrants community here, so far it’s just supporting the ACLU and trying, and so fucking reason it’s hard to convince people another trail of tears would be bad.

Honestly I’m so glad they got greedy and the industry started moving to better things. Harvester homelabs expanding this weekend!

100% plus if you need it to scale then kubevirt is super cool (libvirt as a container!).

I drove a car with adaptive cruise and it was cool. Still as stressful as some cities subway lines (learning curve for me and most places kind of assume you know). The monorail and Tesla loop in Vegas were both much less stressful but the loop was kind of worthless (just as much walking to it as there was to just walk to the entrance of the convention center). Autopilot on planes seems pretty decent now too, but the cost of flights and layovers still stress me out. They are really only worth to get to a destination for a while and in a rush.

That said the self driving of a subway would be the way I would go if I had to choose a day to day option. As long as it’s consistent and at most one change over it’s not that bad to navigate.

Honestly a big credit to the people working there is just how many highly evaluated start ups of former SpaceX employees there are. Just a bunch a talented people given an opportunity to use it

Percentage of votes for a given party can affect debate and ballot access, and federal funding. So it’s not worthless, it just isn’t deciding the president.

Oh man “blue light specials” and the like used to drive me nuts. I never understood why people would buy things they had no plans on buying.

It was a zero percent savings to me.

Dunbar’s number especially when used to contextualize the potential limits of human organization, such as relying only hiring friends and family. The chances that of the 200 people who probably know pretty well also happen to be the best candidate for an important task is low. Most exaggerating case of this is presidential nominees for positions. Like of course it’s the same guy for a few admins, it’s who they know that is remotely qualified.

Honestly I’ve been trying to figure out how to convince more people in my credit union why FOSS matters.

No doubt. The gap between designers and non technical users is a collaborative space that doesn’t seem to me meet by foss but does seem meet by companies like Adobe using the massive amount of feedback sources and teams of designer does meet.

I, a “technical” user, find FOSS UX way better to me, but I can read and underatand issues on git, make merge requests, and even read some code to grasp how something should be working. That UX for shaping the actual program UX doesn’t work for the “non-technical” crowd.

Sorry if I’m just ranting now lol, it’s just something I keep trying to iterate when these issues pop up, hoping something comes up with a good solution.

So far it’s education (grow the technical user base and bam better UX for FOSS!), commercial support and have support feedback for users, and maybe adaptive UXs using some kind ml feedback mechanism.

Honestly though we are doing the former and money is the limit to success (why pay for free? Is a hard sell for a product that isn’t quite what someone wants yet).

The latter I just haven’t seen a clean enough setup to start hacking with myself, and honestly means getting the metric collection for a lot of FOSS apps squared up first.

No! Not as far as I can see and I couldn’t find any foss software supported on my phone for it. That is a cool feature!

There are frenemies in the some markets for sure. But no “the marketplace” is a collaborative thing, corporations are collaborative ventures, etc

Almost every human experience is marked by systems of collaboration, even if competition is also allowed within that system.

Also agreed, and again fuck Adobe.

Sorry I should have specified. That Photoshop is irreplaceable but Blender is pretty good for professional use.

Thanks for sharing, sorry your work flow and experience is messy with it. I’m just a part of the community, but it’s always interesting to hear where different work flows do and don’t work for others.

UX and front ends is such a fuzzy field for me to wrap my head around. So much is done by intuition before hand or after viewing analytics.

Huh, I normally hear the opposite. What are some features of 3dsmax that blender is missing for you?

The whole UX of using a computer is a collaborative project between hardware, os, and apps (and maybe networks). Any friction in that process is born in part by both sides.

I know what you are saying, and fuck Adobe, but the friction of Adobe products not working well on Linux is because Linux isn’t made to work well with corporate driven drm software. Unlike Microsoft, the Linux foundation isn’t likely to make a backroom deal to ensure that Linux will be developed in a way to keep their drm private and help them strip the rights of their users.

That leads to friction it is Linuxs fault for not accepting Adobes bs here. As it is also Adobes fault for sacrificing technical excellence in lu of artificial scarcity.

I honestly cannot tell you the last time I ran windows to do anything. Like I’ll have to do some tinkering on the steam deck soon for the first time in a long time to get the sims playing for my SO, but that is still way easier then maintaining another whole OS, especially like windows where they hit my fam with UX updates that piss them off.

Also on niche side because it’s a realtime encrypted data server you can also use it for transferring ANY realtime data, such as games and VR (see https://thirdroom.io/landing).

It really sets it apart to other federated systems like ActivityPub, or email to me, which those systems are better for eventually consistent data federation.

Shower daily. Sugar scrub weekly. Jojobo oil as needed on whole body. Moisturizer on joints and feet as needed. Cream/ointment a minute after moisturizer to seal it in a little more.

I try to take care of it a bit, though I know a more routine routine would be better just difficult for me.

Same same. They solve different cases, so no sense square pegging round holes right?

Darn. They made that choose your own adventure thing on Netflix right?
