but there’s an importance in having positive media portrayal for LGBTQIA+ folks when the current political climate
Of course.
But the passengers didn’t have any involvement (or decision making) in the rescue. That was entirely the ship’s crew.
Just some part of identity of rescuers changed.
Not even, since it was the ship’s crew doing the rescue, not the passengers.
Of course, but the detail of the type of passenger on the ship whose crew is rescuing people from another vessel isn’t especially relevant to the main point of the story.
there’s a LAN only option. I enabled it today.
Do you trust it to not “phone home” anyway?
Are you also preventing it from automatically getting an update?
The same thing might have happened if she bought a Mac and needed some Windows only software.
Is it off, or is it an optional module that doesn’t have to be adding bloat to my system if I don’t want to use it?
LLMs can take up a pretty big storage footprint.
My biggest issue with that is the amount of bloat a full local LLM implementation would add.
But if it’s an optional module that you can choose to add (or choose not to add) after the fact, I have no complaint.
part of it is picking one that doesn’t drive me batty and taking some time to work with it
CAD and 3D modeling can look overwhelming for a beginner, but there are some tools that are pretty quick to pick up the basics of.
Tinkercad is probably the fastest for most people to get some basic results from.
Personally, I have been working on learning FreeCAD. The newest version is a major step forward in capability and the learning curve isn’t too steep - especially with some of the tutorials I’ve found on youtube.
Blender is it’s own beast - super powerful, but very different that anything else I’ve tries to use.
My kids only knew Linux from the first day they used a computer.
They didn’t have any difficulty transitioning between that at home and the chromebooks or windows desktops the school had.
I’m not sure about the colour yet. Thinking more about some kind of red or turquoise.
I’d go with the reddish-brown of the original leather-ish material.
I’ve used old laptops as battery backed up NAS boxes.
Obviously assumes that you can install a reasonably large drive and that the battery still has some life left in it.
I tried FreeBSD many years ago (back when I was on dialup and bought a book with the FreeBSD install CD included…).
At the time it was interesting to tinker with, and I did use it as a dual-boot on my Win95 computer, but I moved on to Linux when Knoppix came along.
At the time linux seemed more end user friendly.
Maybe I should spin up an install just for nostalgia sake, and to see where it’s at these days.
It takes typing a single command to trace a call.
What takes time is getting the authorization to the person who has the password permission to issue that command.
Very few people at the phone company are allowed access to those commands.
your local library
That’s where I did my printing for about a year before I bought my own printer.
They only charged for the gram weight of the filament used.
It’s also on the cusp of a major upgrade release, so good documentation of the latest version’s features will be in high demand very soon.
Multiple TB when setting up a new server to mirror an existing one. (Did an initial copy with both together in the same room, before moving the clone to a physically separate location. Doing that initial copy would saturate the network connection for a week or more otherwise)
As a former Photoshop user, I found all the paradigms and ways of thinking in Gimp were just so utterly different
The same is true when moving the other direction.
What most people find easier is the one they learned first.
The only reason I paid for Lightburn in the first place is because it’s the only even slightly mature laser software that supports Linux.
Given this news, what are our options?
LagerGRBL seems to be open source, but nobody packages that for Linux as far as I can tell.
And I wasn’t able to find anything else when I was looking last year.
Of course, that was never in question.
