No, you're supposed to buy a loaf, use 1/3 of it before it goes bad, throw away the rest, and buy another loaf.

I thought it was over, and then it just kept going hornier and hornier

Thanks; that worked! I was a little worried about the extra steps for my Nvidia card, but it was fine. Cosmic seems cool so far.

 

I've been waiting until the alpha release to try cosmic, so I haven't paid much attention to instructions for installing it alongside my current pop os 22.04. Now that the alpha is out, I see all instructions pointing to download and install the 24.04 alpha iso. But, that's a big hassle! Is there a way I can try the cosmic alpha along side my current install?

Freecad +1

WAIT !

I think each person has to recognize that there is a time/energy cost to get out of enshittification hell, and then decide how much they're willing to pay. If the answer for you is at least "an afternoon of video tutorials", then Freecad will be fine for you. It's a complicated tool that you need some help learning; that's ok. It won't become your new hobby.

If you don't want to pay that cost, that's understandable. If you feel mad that there is a cost at all, that's ok too. That's how enshittification works, and it sucks. As I said, each person will have to decide whether and how much they're willing to pay to get out of it.

Anyway, the MangoJelly tutorials in YouTube are really excellent, and will have you up and running in a few hours at most. (My CAD needs are also very basic, and I was done after the first two parts, 30 min each.) For following along, I would recommend just using the main version, so that it matches his tutorial exactly, and do the steps as he shows you. It feels dumb, but it's such a fast way to learn. You can decide later if you want to switch to one of the other branches, depending on what features you care about or what annoys you most.

Here's one of his later videos about tracing from a photo, but I haven't watched it:

You can do it!

The pineapple is already digesting the pizza. Win win.

I had the same realization. I spent 3-4 hours fiddling with different settings, with no impact, and then 1 hour drying did the trick!!

Great work. Some of these fixes read like dwarf fortress bugs!

The meme leaves out the very important detail that most of the researchers working "for free" in the first panel are definitely getting paid, and usually by public funding (public universities and/or grants from taxpayer-funded institutions like NIH, NSF, etc.). That's a big part of what makes it a scam.

Same, but we knew it was going to be about tortillas didn't we.

 

My teenage son wants to try a new distro for gaming. Our family has been using pop os for years, but he wants to try something new. The main three I see are

  • nobara (fedora based)
  • garuda (arch based)
  • drauger (ubuntu based)

The machine he's using is a 2018 Intel nuc. It has a strong processor (core i7) but no discrete graphics. I can't tell which (if any) of the distros above would be better or worse for his case.

Reading around, it seems like Garuda might be slightly more fiddly. And, Drauger I only saw mentioned in a couple of articles, but not on this forum. Are these impressions correct? Do you have any other advice for us?!
