FreeCAD 1.0 Release Candidate 4 is out in c/cad@lemmy.world
[–] tyrant@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

It's weird and cloud based. I had trouble with it moving quickly and the feature set seemed weak in comparison to something like solid works or inventor.

I hope it's becoming useable for professionals. Linux next a real cad solution so bad. Right now I'm running a Windows VM to get that part of my workflow done

And they lie. A lot.

is "oh boy" considered a gendered term? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] tyrant@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago (2 children)

IMO, "oh boy" would have a definition of "wowza!" Whereas "oh girl" would have a definition of "sassy!". In this vain, I declare "oh boy" to be gender neutral.

Same goes for "awww, maaaan"

Could Joe Biden use his remaining time as president of the US to do away with presidential pardons? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Yup. It would also be nice to have a candidate that was outspoken and fighting for things. The two party system sucks

Heaven forbid the Democratic party do something outside the box or unsavory.

America is just a big truck with it's high beams on and nuts hanging from the hitch.

I'm amazed at how many people remember the hardware they purchased 30 years ago.

Adaptor for vertically mounting a Park Tool PCS-10 portable bike stand head in c/3dprinting@lemmy.world

Just curious, why did you need this? Does that particular clamp not rotate the grip sideways? I've got a cheapo stand that rotates and this one is seemingly way nicer. Edit: nevermind I get it. You're making a portable bike stand into a bench mounted one!

if you quit a job you didn't like or was toxic, didn't the financial hit scare you? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] tyrant@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I call it "the fear". Being unemployed or underemployed or having the risk of no income fills me with it.

Mint (noob) default apps with wine (lemmy.world)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/18656931

Coming over from windows again. I've got pretty much everything figured out. I even got a VM going with my CAD software so I don't need to switch between Windows! I was super proud of myself on that one. The last thing I'm having trouble with....

I use pdfxchange for my PDF editor. It works great in wine but they don't have a specific Linux release. (If there is a good PDF editor that is Linux native let me know, I need good Mark up and dimensioning tools that can scale off of the drawings). I'm trying to set it to open PDFs by default but can't figure it out. Does someone have a good (easy) way to do it?

Older kids book recommendations (lemmy.world)

Anyone have suggestions for a 10 year old who likes comic mischief? He's a huge fan of diary of a wimpy kid series but his reading level has moved beyond that. He's also really enjoyed the wild robot series, Matilda, and the skunk and fox books.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: thank you all for your great recommendations. I'm going to check them all out with him tonight!

jellyfin + Xbox One playback issues (lemmy.world)
 

I've set up a jellyfin server on a Windows desktop machine (yeah I know, not the best option). I think hardware server side is more than sufficient with i7 4790 3.6ghz, 3060ti, 32gb ram. For client I'm using Xbox One x with jellyfin client. The server is currently connected via WiFi. I'm getting playback stuttering after about 20 min or so of playback. I'm hoping to get some guidance for transcoding settings and general setup help.

I don't think it's simply wifi causing the issue as the playback bar on Xbox shows the video is buffered for several minutes ahead of playback location.
