Yes, someone has.

I’d name it “In Communist Russia, fantasy football team name you!”

Living wages in exchange for work.

Yes, other people are.

A utility to map extruded lines/objects/shapes to STL files. For example, say you have an STL of a curved vase. You want to add a spiral to it. So you place the photo of a spiral on the object. The utility lets you decide where on the STL it’ll be placed, then you can decide the extrusion depth (positive or negative).

Possibly including some type of LLM, too. So you can import your STL, then type something like “picture of the Simpsons in the style of ancient Greek amphora vase paintings.” It’ll appear as line art on the 3D object

Note that I don’t need this, myself. You want to work on something interesting, so I thought for a few minutes and came up with this. :)

It’s Umaro, isn’t it?

It’s not way too early to break out the guillotine for use on the Embracer CEO.

Not a specific post, but if you browse around there, you’ll find one pretty early.

Thank you very much. It took a lot of practice to learn to do it so well.

Styleforum has plenty. For example, people congratulating each other on thrift store finds or helping each other learn about shoe care.

Retroarch box for your TV?

You can buy a USB blu-ray drive for like $50.

Rather than build a computer, check out NAS devices.

My Synology NAS does everything you mention except ripping, and you can rip with any computer that has an optional drive.

A NAS is lower power than a tower server, and many are designed to let you swap hard drives.

Tomorrow Corporation? More like Yesterday Corporation, amirite?

Grim Dawn is “What if a sequel to Diablo 2, but not Diablo 3?”

I don’t use apps, I disable JavaScript when I can, and I use non-megacorp web browsers that have granular security settings.

That’s not a complete solution on its own, but it’s a start.

I collect hobbies.

The best distro? One that he’ll be able to use easily. One that will get him to actually LIKE the experience.

You don’t want to teach him a lesson by giving him a miserable experience.

You want to teach him a lesson that will let you say “I told you so” for the rest of his life.

Manjaro is pretty easy to use and seems to have good hardware compatibility. A variety of Ubuntu flavors also can mimic Windows and work really well.

I don’t like when huge, rich corporations pretend that they are an underdog.

On top of that, I don’t like when a platform bribes developers to limit their game to one platform.

Haha, I get it. No offense taken.

I don’t disagree. But for better or worse, most people don’t think that much about their software.

Folks like us who do? We can make informed decisions.

Folks who don’t? Canonical’s experiments are probably still better than dealing with Windows 11 or macOS.
