If you’re talking about CrowdStrike, I’d call it part of the malware infrastructure.

From the perspective of the OP’s point though, it is a good argument since it capitalises on the panic described.

They could be, but 2M new Brazilian users after Twitter’s block there actually seems quite low and definitely credible.

On iOS I’ve been using Vinegar - Tube Cleaner by developer And a Dinosaur. It doesn’t replace YouTube as a whole - only the video player. Better interface, no ads.

Ah NFS… It’s so good when it works! When it doesn’t though, figuring out why is like trying to navigate someone else’s house in pitch dark.

Upstream Firefox already have them on nightly. It should be released pretty soon.

FUD wars on Free and Open Source Software, shady deals with companies and governments to make them dependent on MS software and solutions, holding the web hostage to IE “standards”, …

Could you provide a source for this claim? Not doubting you but I haven’t seen it.

That’s great! I’ll give it a go again soon.

Whilst this is fair criticism, I was responding to complaints about the UX in other CADs.

Yeah I’ve been meaning to try FreeCAD in anger but every time I try it out I find it clumsy, awkward and limited. I’m hoping the new organisation will allow them to get more funding, I’d really love an actually good open source CAD.

Thanks for the detailed report! 💪

That’s on the free license. Fusion360, to which this thread is offering an alternative, has the same limitation.

I found Onshape to be quite nice. It was relatively easy to translate skills from Fusion to it after a few YouTube videos.

I’ve had mine since 2018 and it’s still going strong! I’ve recently upgraded it to WiFi6 but otherwise it’s the same device.

The web app works fine. The desktop app is Electron-based but works fine. Yes, it is all centralised on their servers.

In which sense do you fear it will be invasive? Other than Slack seeing your messages on Slack, I don’t see what else you could be worrying about. They will always have that kind of access regardless of what you do locally since it’s not E2EE, so really this question just feels like paranoia.

Don’t say things on Slack that you don’t want Slack to know about. That should be all, really.

If you don’t want Slack to see any of your messages, don’t use it.

I’ve been using glauth + Authelia for a couple years with no issues and almost zero maintenance.

Yes, absolutely. Ideally there would be an automated check that runs periodically and alerts if things don’t work as expected.

Monitoring if the backup task succeeded is important but that’s tue easy part of ensuring it works.

A backup is only working if it can be restored. If you don’t test that you can restore it in case of disaster, you don’t really know if it’s working.

I guess it depends on where you are. Where I am the air is a lot less humid than in other places, and I have the opposite effect. I put the filament roll in the dryer and start printing. As time passes, like the filament gets dryer and stringing reduces.

Ah got it. I didn’t know there was a free tier!
