I run Firefox with uBlock Origin in my work as well as private device for > 2 years without any issues including tricky applications like Citrix, Virtual Desktops etc.

On my mobile, I use Fennec with uBlock Origin, Decentraleyes and PrivacyBadger and sometimes have some small issues, so I have to view the page in Desktop mode instead.

But compared to a web full of ads, it’s a difference like day and night. Definitely won’t go back any time soon!

I’m not a scientist, so I’m just guessing here. But looking at popular search terms on porn sites, you’ll find a lot of taboo stuff like (step-)mom, (step-)sis, poop, BDSM, gang bangs etc. But just because people find it interesting in porn, I wouldn’t argue that they necessarily want to act accordingly in real life, bang their relatives etc.

Some time back I also read an article somewhere (sorry no source) that taboos in porn can get somehow addictive in a way that you’re permanently looking for harder taboos.

But as said, I have no clue if that applies here or if there’s scientific evidence for/against this hypothesis.

Maybe they can pull back their head into the shell before opening the floodgates.

I could also imagine that the causality is (partly) the other way around. Demonizing homosexuality makes it a taboo for them and taboos are the base for all kinds of fetishes.

Okay, that’s strange. When you say workstations, I assume that you had pretty decent hardware and probably more powerful than my consumer notebook. I usually don’t notice lags or load times > 1 second. If I do a complex operation like mass-cloning an object via a polar pattern, I have to wait for 2 or 3 seconds but really nothing that bothered me in the workflow. Definitely never anything close to a minute as you described.

If you want to give FreeCAD another chance one day and still experience the same issues, maybe bring it up in the official forums. The experts there might have an idea what could be wrong.

I never had these kind of performance issues at all. I use it on three different ThinkPads, all not too bad but also no crazy hardware. The cheapest should be an E14 with a AMD 5500U and 16 GB of RAM that was around 500€ 4 years ago.

Isn’t Fusion360 cloud-based? If so, it doesn’t make too much sense to compare the performance on a certain hardware.

I currently switch a lot between FreeCAD and Sims. When I brainstorm with my girlfriend we either use a simple drawing programm or Sims. Then, once we aligned on an idea, I use FreeCAD to bring in accuracy. Quite often then the original ideas don’t work out because of wall thickness, window placement etc.

I currently combine Draft, Bim and Sketcher to plan my house. You can also use Tech Draw and Part Design in some areas. I think FreeCAD has a steep learning curve with all the features it has, but it’s also incredibly powerful.

If you want to do accurate calculations, wall thickness, exact angles, window sizes etc., I would recommend FreeCAD, especially the draft workbench and possibly the BIM workbench if you want to go 3D afterwards.

If you are more looking for a rough planning where you can test furniture placements, floor designs and see fast results, I recommend The Sims 4 (no joke!). The base game is free (also available on Steam) and it’s quite easy and intuitive to move stuff around, change a wall, place decorations etc.

The draft workbench and sketcher workbench in FreeCAD are both only for 2D projects.

This is meant for simple replacement algorithms like ROT1, ROT13 etc. right?

Can’t you just use another instance to unblock Mastodon?

Imagine playing Monopoly with friends and no one is ever buying. You can visit all these nice cities, you can use four amazing train stations free of charge and after each round trip you collect your universal basic income. There’s just that one weird thing that sometimes you randomly end up in jail for three days. But I guess in such a world, also the guards would be cool dudes(ses).

I don’t have children but I would say the most important advice for all kinds of relationship issues is communication. Address your thoughts, fears, talk openly about what has changed, what you miss, what you need and wish for. Try not to blame anyone and talk in a calm way. It may sound obvious, but only if you talk to each other, you can find new strategies that work for both of you. :)

It’s not free but if you charge your account with 10€ you get 100 days of flatrate for more or less all international landlines. After these 100 days or calls on mobile you pay 1-3 cents per minute.

FreeVoipDeal is super cheap, allows you to use an already existing own number and can be used with any client that supports the SIP protocol.

In a way that it allows me to salvage any burnt bread by simply unroasting it? Or a time machine that will take me back to the dinosaurs but I’ll arrive dead and crispy?

I never did, but I also don’t know any other Lemmy user in person, so I guess it’s pretty pointless to share my profile.

From my perspective Lemmy by far isn’t as user-centric as Mastodon. In Mastodon you mainly follow people whereas in Lemmy you subscribe to communities.

Congratulations and good luck with your publication!

If you want to avoid conflicts maybe drop a short message to one of the mods upfront but otherwise I wouldn’t worry too much! :)
