Is this seriously your takeaway from a well-thought out post? This the smugness of reddit that I really don’t miss.
edit: I am refering to the root comment, as that isn’t clear.
My namesake is a human librarian that was turned into an orangutan. All he says is “Ook” and can traverse the library stacks with great ease. He is happy.
I have a pretty strange knowledge set. I’m not super friendly, but I like to get high and link people to stuff. Just pretend I said only “ook”

How else would you know it was doing anything?

Maybe I’ve always just felt a Roblox-shaped hole in my heart.
That’s easier to boycott than diapers, my friend.
Buying cat litter when you also need diapers and have to shop with a baby in tow? I’ll be anti-consumer next year.
Ever used photoshop with an undo history? It’s particularly nice for text based commands.
Actually that’s a great place for some “I want to help but I don’t know computers” people to jump in.
That makes total sense. I was on my way to mechanical engineering when I was learning autocad and autodesk mechanical desktop if you remember that. Now it’s just in autocad. (I guess that’s an example of how things used to unshittify. I bet adobe would bring back MD as a separate product nowadays.)
So if you try to enter woodworking after that experience, it feels right to model projects like that. I had learned a lot of coding by this point. So adding the code into parts for flexibility felt great.
This is going to sound complicated. That’s because I bet you can do this with one click. But I thought it was cool I model a compound mitre angle for a cut using numbers I calc’d on Octave (matlab-like foss). Since I’m just a tinkerer, I could only imagine how powerful that could be for pros. Lots of “where was this when I needed it” thoughts.
I tried qcad around 2010 or so and found the UI horrible compared to autocad that I was used to. At this point in my life, drafting was pretty useless. So I had no reason to have cad unless it was free.
I found OpenScad in Y2020 and was amazed at how far it had come. It felt much more like the commercial stuff, at least to me, who was behind the times anyway.
I was disappointed not to see one. That’s not a ‘no’, but I did look for one.
I just thought in hindsight, my response to you plugging freecad is funny.
It’s like you took me into your workshop with all these benches, and I just point at the openscad bench like a caveman and grunt “scad”.
For a second, I thought all this information was coming from a random shark. It made sense.
Honestly I do. My workflow is not enviable. I’m a little dabbler. I do like CAD, but I’ve never used it professionally. I have a little, ugly sewing table to prove it.
I learned AutoCAD99 in high school. But I never kept up the skills later.
I learned OpenSCAD to draw models for papers. Or for math problems when I taught. It really is a fun tool to get into the swing of, but I let my skills get rusty and it’s frustrating now.
I’m a fan of OpenSCAD for my woodworking. But I’m not, like, industrial with it. But I can get my work done.
Once more people get onboard, the price is sure to fall.
This is fun. I’m listening to two Telsa owners bicker about the precise reason that I shouldn’t buy a Telsa.
Do you honestly think they’re “completely missing the point”? Read the meme. There’s no mention of gitea. Self-hosting git is nothing to wiggle your tie over. Maybe setting up the things you are talking about are, but git?
German Ks make so much damn sense. Why do I keep screwing them up?
In this case, it was that “cartographer” is a cognate.
If.
