Bring some dopamine and serotonin, please. But don’t get the cheap stuff.

Maybe I simply have a hard time imagining a world where politicians listened to the demands and protests of the people and governed themselves accordingly.

Maybe 100 years ago politicians where less corrupt and more empathetic towards the problems of the working class people.

Maybe back then it was more difficult to pay off a few key people to let a bill pass in your favor.

Or maybe, an economic plan was created based on the post war industrial development in which out of pure desperation for manpower, women have proven themselves to be just as effective in working at factories as men. And in the name of improving effectiveness, this got the ball rolling to ultimately elevate women’s rights on par with men’s.

Feminism isn’t some new last century concept. Women have been fighting for right for millennia but where always at bane of powers outside their control (AKA monarchs, the church, etc.). So there must be a good reason why it only worked out after the bloodiest most brutal self induced chapter of human history. What was the alternative, saying: “Thanks for the help, now go back home and tend to your crippled husbands.”? That’s actually exactly what governments did, and the result was a severely crippled economy that catapulted the world right into another World War.

No matter which country you’re from, your great great mother has most likely contributed to getting the country through some of the worst times in it’s history. A time when people weren’t buried, they were dying in the streets and eaten by rats. And the reward was… that exception has turned into expectation. And as over the past 100 years almost all the money has wandered from the pockets of many into the pockets of few, women’s right to work has turned into a necessity to work.

I don’t believe for a second that the leaders of the 1920s had given women any more rights than in the centuries before out of the goodness of their hearts unless it was absolutely economically necessary.

Have you not noticed how workers have become customers to their own workplace? Corporation not only want to pay you less, they want you to give your paycheck back to them. And all the safeguards put up over the last decades for women in society and the workplace are being slowly dismantled by a very evident right shift of global politics. All to get you to the perfect algorithmically determined point of anger, desperation and contempt to make you pay exactly one cent less than the highest possible asking price for any given service (or as it was once called “product”). Modern day 1st world feminism is engineered. As evident by every corporation dropping the rainbow flags the second pride month ends, is that if corporations don’t have to care - they won’t. Feminism isn’t excluded from that.

It’s really hard to call yourself a feminist when you realize that all major achievements of western feminism aren’t the direct result of activism but rather capitalism. To paraphrase DiCaprio’s Character from Django, activism had their curiosity, the financial incentive had their attention.

Industries and governments realised that they were essentially not capitalizing on 50% of the population.

Women in the work force wasn’t a noble grant of freedom, it was an increase in production and profit. If it were truly as noble as it is made out to be, they would’ve given them equal pay from the start.
Same thing goes for women being able to have their own bank account. Women having their own money means they will spend it, driving the economy. Even the right to vote just provides another angle of attack to influence and radicalize the population. Those are the 3 corner stones, work for capital and pay income tax, spend your money and pay sales tax and vote for whoever the TV tells you to vote. Everything else is just comfort to sweeten the deal. That’s also why 3rd wave feminism has grinded to a halt. The is no capitalist financial incentive to give women even one more inch of freedom than they already have.

Women haven’t won anything they’ve just gotten of the side lines, right into the corporate meatgrinder.

And now we’re here, where a two head family can’t afford to have a child because both members working 9-5 can barely support themselves financially, yet alone have the money or time to have a child. And neither corporations nor the government are eager to support them as if giving back even a single cent of profits is a cardinal sin.

Nah, fluid changes are no biggie, but for wet timing belt replacement you have to take half the engine apart. If you don’t, the engine might seize up doing 90 on the freeway giving you a generous 5 seconds to react after the oil pressure light comes on.

Yeah that must be it.

I moved from Creo to FreeCAD. For a free software, FreeCAD is insanely good. But it’s clear that it is an enthusiast project with focus on functionality rather than UX and UI, allthough they are starting to improve on that too. It’s also clear that all industry grade software providers must headscout some of the smartest and most talented mathematicians and software engineers, which open source can simply not afford.

I took for granted how performant and flexible Creo is with things like chamfers and patterns. FreeCAD struggles in that regard hard, to the point where those steps have to be the last things in your workflow, otherwise the entire model lags out or even crashes.

Also, compared to FreeCAD, the actual constriction feature management seems like magic in Creo, it keeps way better track of the naming and numbering of references and minor changes to earlier elements transfer seamlessly to all newer ones. Meanwhile in FreeCAD adding even a single borehole into a surface retroactively (which shouldn’t influence anything else) completely breaks the model and all surfaces need to be reassigned by hand to all upstream elements.

Threads are another issue. I know cosmetic threads are super easy to do in Fusion, and are especially important for 3D printing. The most effective way to get cosmetic threads in FreeCAD is to use a plugin that gives you parametric rods, nuts and cutting tools and you just use a boolean operation to basically cut a thread into geometry. It works perfectly, but is simply really weird and unusual.

In general FreeCAD can do anything an industry standard CAD Programm can do, it will only take you 10 times longer and is 5 times more complicated. Sometimes the same operation will work on one edge, but not it’s exact copy. Sometimes a feature works on the selection, sometimes you get a seperate selection window for the feature. It’s clear that a lot of implementation happens without proper communication inside the FreeCAD team and therefore lacks in consistency.

But it seems that this year is going to be the year of FreeCAD as they significantly ramped up development and there are almost monthly improvements. They also make effort to unify features and improve consistency across board.

Your mentality needs to be that FreeCAD models are clunky and fragile and you essentially have to already know exactly what you want to design before even starting. It’s not a great tool for creative technical experimentation, for now at least.

Is it? I though OpenCAD predates commercial LLMs by a few decades. Have they switched their development philosophy?

If you would’ve asked me 4 months ago I’d say the same. I come from industry standard software, so FreeCAD was barely usable if you have gotten used to some of the higher grade usability featuers. Skip a few months forward and FreeCAD development has ramped up as if it’s the cure to cancer. The features (especially usability ones) implemented in the last half a year brings it somewhat on par with what a trained engineer would expect.
For example last week they implemented automatically including reference geometry inside sketches, before you had to use a separate step to include them through a projection or intersection with the sketch plane. That is huge. I think in a few years FreeCAD will essentially be a feature complete industry standard CAD program.

How does it compare to FreeCAD?

First, because a nation with a nuclear arsenal ia not going to be allowed to collapse.

Second, don’t think the US as a country, think of it as a corporation, because that is essentially what it is. Corporations don’t collapse, they get bought up by the highest bidder, their assets liquidated, their workers let go without compensation.

I know it isn’t the law but I feel like the burden of proof that somebody has actually read and understood the terms and conditions and was of sound mind when accepting it, should be on the company. Who knows, maybe I was just about to read the full thing and went to get myself a cup of coffee, while I was gone my cat stepped on the keyboard and pressed accept. And if the company can’t prove beyond any reasonable doubt that I did in fact read, understood and accepted it, then the Terms and Conditions are effectively nulled.
