It’s basically the same. Lemmy is kind of what reddit felt like before it got huge and astroturfed, it’s smaller which can be as much a benefit as a detriment depending what your after. I find interaction here tends to feel more human than reddit, on reddit comment threads especially in political subreddits you already know what the comments are gonna say before you get there, here i feel as though there is a bit more genuine thought. That being said Lemmy is not immune to echo chambers or trolls, as any bit of the internet is. Just use as you would use reddit honestly and just know your likely not to see as much content, but the content you see will get a more GENUINE feeling interaction. That’s my take anyhow.

I have not used open scad or freecad! The thing about fusion that works so well for us at work is we can design prototypes and 3d print them out of plastic, and if the test fit goes well we can then move it over to our plasma machine and cut the parts from sheet stock then weld together to make our component. We also do some more component design (think central inflation systems though wheel hubs) but the more advanced stuff the boss handles. For us to adopt at work I think it would have to have compatibility with fusion 360 as that’s what my boss uses primarily and we have dozens maybe hundreds of design files to cut brackets for engine swaps gas tank mounts control arm brackets you name it. Suppose it’s probably a bit late for us to make any move to Linux, especially considering we just got a 4 axis cnc mill and I don’t think any Linux software will play with that

So rather than use a ready made software that works perfect for designing parts you suggest I build my own software? That is simply not a feasible solution, ESPECIALLY in a business environment lol. Your 2 in one shampoo comparison is kind of irrelevant, this is more akin to suggesting that instead of purchasing a car I design one from scratch! That doesn’t help adoption of Linux in the least, it is in fact the burden that keeps more windows users from adopting.

Can u run fusion 360? We use this software at work for 3d printer and plasma table. Have not been able to find anything that could run both on linux yet.

I’m 28 and my joints do funny things (knees and left elbow mainly, occasionally shoulders). Been a mechanic my whole life, been in a few car accidents, smashed u pa few dirt bikes, and shattered my arm into 4 peices a couple years ago on the road when somebody failed to yield turning left. Some days my body doesn’t agree with me but I don’t stop moving and I think that’s the biggest thing. Over winter break last year I slugged around the house for a couple days and by day 3 my left arm was sore. Wrist stiff knees popping. Got back after it and I felt fine you have to stay active even when it’s uncomfortable and you have to stay LIMBER nobody stretches enough lol

Don’t defy the echo chamber lest you desire the down votes!

Lol no kidding. All my friends complaining about the outage are in ri/ ma, I’m in VT. Not sure if I’m on the same servers as the rest of east coast? Don’t even know how to check honestly.

I keep seeing all this stuff all over Lemmy and FB about the AWS outage and being in the northeast I dont understand how it hasn’t effected me in the slightest but I’ll take the W I guess !

But the bean counters said it was the best idea!

It will always fall on the driver of the vehicle, as it should. I don’t care how self driving your car is, it has a steering wheel, an accelerator pedal, and a brake pedal and in the driver seat YOU are responsible with how you operate your vehicle. If u decide to trust a self driving feature that’s YOUR mistake. I would love to blame all these crashes on Tesla but the reality is that all these drivers aids and self driving cars having accidents is proof that you should be the one in control of your own vehicle. No crying about how the automotive nannies didn’t stop you from crashing the vehicle your driving, take responsibility. Don’t like it? Don’t trust the “self driving” nonsense (read: glorified advanced cruise control). Now one thing I don’t agree with is advertising as self driving, and I strongly believe self driving vehicles in public roadways should be ILLEGAL!

Despite all these “safety features” accidents are far more common now than 20 years ago. “Driver aids” do nothing but encourage bad behaviour, better off just PAYING ATTENTION to the 2 ton steel cage your throwing down a concrete cheese grater at 60+mph…

I knew. A guy with a fully shaved mr2 (yes that means no door handles). Doors opened with a remote to operate the latch. He also had a cable run down under the side skirt, so if it failed you could manually pull the cable to get the door oprn. This was put together by a 24 year old in school, not some “genius”

They wish. My 30 year old $2500 bmw e36 was nicer inside than the last model 3 I had the misfortune of sitting in, and was the most reliable car I’ve owned. Straight 6 And 5 speed, beaten and slid daily until I sold it with 200k miles. My biggest problem with that car was keeping back tires on it. Man some days I wish I never sold that car… Moved north and a slammed 2wd car isn’t gonna get me to work over the mountain pass in the winter. Now I drive a POS 2012 Subaru with fried oil control rings. If the bimmer had a LSD I probably would still be driving it 🤬

Don’t forget to put a drop of oil on the felt now and again ;)

Bikes are among, if not the, most efficient vehicular forms of transport if I’m not mistaken

Slick keeping a spare set of points in the glove box and a match look to shim them? 😎

The first gen 3.6 has enough issues, have u seen how the new gen 3.6 is gobbling up intake cams? Ugh they stopped making real jeeps when the 4.0 went the wayside …

What’s are u driving an old mechanical diesel?

Awesome I’ve changed it! Thanks a ton feel like it offers more perspective!

I am using the voyager app and have not found a place to separate them but I appreciate the response! I have not looked much into other Lemmy browsing apps and hardly ever use it on the computer…
