TBH I don't like FreeCAD - I fell like it's like recommending Gimp as a serious alternative to Photoshop. With enough effort and deep knowledge you can almost achieve similar results but you have to invest multiple times as much time. The saving in licencing cost is very quickly eastern up by the increased labour cost.

There is an alternative that has come a long way IMHO, though: BlenderBIM. They are still not quite as good as ArchiCAD and such but it runs natively on Linux and is very neat so far.

Agreed, but it still is the only device that can run GrapheneOS.

Signal seem to be the least compromising messenger app out there with their privacy policy and open source code base. It's only natural they are frequent victims of FUD.

...and at the same time supporting racist and anti-migrant narratives to "fight" the fascist AfD. Which, obviously, just strengthens that narrative and hence the AfD.

I'll probably stick to 5e and switch to a different game once Hasbro forces DnDbeyond to disable 5e content. The only answer to enshittification is complete boycott.

And how is that determined? I found the shit that I took this morning immensely creative.

Dude, those are nice programs but if you need professional work done those are of very limited use. The only thing that is almost as useful as Adobe is Affinity and that's also not running on Linux.

It might work together if the real cost would be reflected in every product. Like, if cost of pollution, emission, all consequences of everything at every step in every country would be priced in and equalized. But that's so unlikely to happen that we might as well set the whole thing on fire.

If I remember correctly, it was identified that institutions traded then to be able to better control prices without intervention from retail. Makes cost more predictable. This would make sense to utilise if you have to roll big positions.

Nope, it's not even the executives, they are straw people for the most part.

Most corporations are owned by investors who can cash out any time and threaten to plunge the stock into oblivion by doing so. They go where short term profits are highest, squeeze out every bit they can get and prodeed to the next investment afterwards, demanding enshittification there.
