Nothing says love like surprise LFS.

It is, but MasterCAM is also the primary workhorse for a large global industry, so I wouldn't say that it is insignificant by any means.

MasterCAM blows absolutely every open-source solution out of the water. It isn't even a competition. In this case, it is actually cheaper to buy their really expensive and restrictive license, because in the end you save a near immeasurable amount of time in modeling, drafting, programming, and production. The fee CAD programs that can even support a postprocessing operation (becoming closer to a real CAM solution) are really bad at it and the toolpaths are far from ideal.

This makes so little sense to me. One would think that an app would have a wider user base as well as being easier to take down. All they would need to do is run the app and see where it phones home to, then send a C&D to the distribution platform(s).

Learning to learn:

AutoCAD does need to die, but there absolutely is no real substitute for MasterCAM. I have a windows PC just for running that software, because nothing comes even kinda close. That license is expensive though, holy shit.

The old skullet.

I'm not a hoarder by any means, but my external 2TB drive is finally getting full. I just recently learned just how cheap storage is on a laptop with the 2.5" bays. I'm likely gong to use the new 4TB drive for general storage, then wipe the 2TB drive and move all of my content there.

Totally unbodacious

It's just cool to see Lemmy in any search result. It kind of reinforces that what we are doing here matters. Downside is that if an instance goes down, only a potential archive is there.

Ah, the Dashboard Confessional special.

OK this hilarious. Guess who owns this domain. It is Sky UK
