  • I csme in here to see if anyone cared for FreeCAD and yup, here I see you. Love it. And it’s better than many proprietary softwares I have tried (edited to remove the names), I mean in terms of hobby creation at least. I am trying so as to master it and create professional level CAD drawings. It’s light weight, so beautifully intutive and that it runs smoothly on one of my ancient PCs with 2GB RAM, intel Pentium processor running Windows 7. It’s truly awesome. So many add ons, leaves one spoilt for choices.

    Also LibreCAD for 2D.







  • It wasn’t, but that time America was not an active participant in the game. They were amongst those trying to provide aid to Gaza (or atleast that was the official stance).

    The abhorrent behaviour of Trump government is a radically opposite stand. Concentrating the people at aid centers, by taking advantage of their hunger, and then make them sitting ducks.

    These people are so disconnected from themselves, they feel that abstract ideas in their head are more important than actual physical suffering of people.










    1. Well he showed America why EACH and EVERY vote matters
    2. The consequences of ONE poor decision /indecision on one’s part
    3. How one appreciates the good poorly, until the real bad arrives
    4. Why America is actually great. Not because of screw-ups like him, but because of its citizens.

    Disclaimer: I am not an American, I am from a fucked up nation where the vast majority is MAGA equivalent. This is why I have come to love how the people of America have reacted and their understanding and clarity which my unfortunate nation lacks.

    We aren’t even in the news because our’s is at the fine threshold were we overstep the boundaries a lot but not too much at a time - so it doesn’t show. Those who may rise above their own turmaoil to pay even the slightest attention can see it easily, but we are a nation just in the background and the view is blurred by the upheaval of the rest.

    Plz do not ask me which. You might guess correctly or incorrectly and I will not answer.


  • Windows 10 on a shitbox!!! You and I have very different definitions of that - lol. The ‘shitboxes’ I have (two of them) find it difficult to run even Windows 7, but Linux zooms on it like a breeze.

    I know the frustration though. I sometimes use cracked software - mostly for learning new stuff as a hobby (CAD programming, designing etc) and they come only on Windows, SOo…

    But these days free and open source have also come up so beautifully. FreeCAD is like this whole new thing entirely, so are LibreOffice, Inkscape, GIMP, LibreCAD, Scribus, Blender (never used this one though). Using LibreOffice has made it next to impossible for me to use MSOffice. But yes I do need that one or two shitty proprietary things because, just because…
