So what they’re saying is that Trump has legalized sexual discrimination… Exactly what we would expect from a known pedophile and convicted rapist.

The only thing this bill seems to affect are apps. It has no provision for websites, meaning kids would still have unlimited access to adult content. If a kid wants to get around browser checks, all they have to do is either install an older browser that doesn’t use the OS verification, or find a plug-in that fakes it (and of course those will immediately come out).

Even worse, if the OS requires ALL software to acknowledge the age verification checks, what do you think that means? Everyone in Colorado is required to immediately spend thousands to buy all new versions of every program they use? And what happens to the software that is no longer updated? If you’re lucky, you can buy something completely different and spend months rebuilding all your old information into the new system? Sounds wonderful.

Where did you get this from? Sounds like more of the crap from DOGE where Musk had no clue how computers work so he just assumed that everyone listed in SSI was getting automatically paid.

You might want to check your calendar. 1986 was 40 years ago. Ugh has it really been that long since I graduated high school?

Of course anyone who isn’t a complete idiot already knew that…

It definitely help for re-world modeling, getting things figured out in advance. In the Spring of 2024 I decided to finally build a utility trailer I’ve been thinking about for years, and I modeled the whole thing in OpenScad down to the wiring and generating material lists (and yes, we got it built and have been using it through this past Summer). The fact that you can’t incrementally update variables makes some tasks stupidly difficult requiring a lot of needless redundancy, but I do like being able to write stuff out as code.

Maybe some day I’ll try Build123 or something else, but most of my projects are things where I just need to whip out a quick model, so I don’t want to deal with learning a whole new system at the same time. Case in point – yesterday I picked up a keyboard fro the thrift store but realized it was missing one of the folding feet (this one has two different sized stacked feet that fold out from each other). Half an hour later I’m making my first print, and another 15 minutes I’m ready to test the second foot piece. And I could have done it faster if I didn’t spend so much time capturing the details of the original feet. Point is, it’s hard to change when most of your needs are quickly covered with the existing software.

I’ve been using openscad to create a dual-filament direct drive print head for my Ender 3. Got the whole thing printed but I have to run a couple more wires up the cable harness to control the new servo and read the filament runout sensor.

If they weren’t on X and were reading reality-based information, they would already know the entire world hates Trump’s politics, and I certainly don’t blame anyone for hating the entire US in general. Too many people here will gladly hate an entire country even when they had no say in choosing their leaders, so it’s only fitting to see that attitude thrown back at us.

On the other hand, the exposure that all these Trump-supporting “influencers” are foreign bot accounts is hilarious, and I love that MAGA is finally being shown exactly who they’ve been listening to.

Ah ok, that makes sense they can sue later. Thanks!

I’m just wondering why the fine is only $10k? Something like this where you blow someone away for no reason, you should be forfeiting all of your possessions to their surviving family since the victim will no longer be earning an income to support them.

So Trump is trying to start a civil war by starving the people that voted for him, but he’s also planning on starving the troops that were supposed to support his dictatorship? Just seems to prove the theory that the only thing which will save us from this regime is Trump’s own stupidity.

Nope, programming is like a black hole – once you’ve entered the event horizon it’s too late and you’ll never escape.

What do you mean by “traditional cad designers” and why is that important? I’m not really sure why that is something that should matter to me?

Aww man, I knew it was only a matter of time before someone was going to “force” me to learn python. Thanks for the link, I’ll take a look at this after dinner.

Another consideration… If you are a programmer type then OpenSCAD is a language-based program. I’ve been using it heavily for the past week designing a dual-filament extruder for my Ender 3, and last year I designed and built a utility trailer. As with anything it has its quirks, but I’m much more comfortable writing code and I always found the other GUI-oriented programs to be unintuitive.

If only… I know who I’d put my money on. The only way Trump could win is if he accidentally fell on his opponent.

Or we could see a bomb go off in the Pentagon, at the meeting to which Hegseth was “unfortunately running late”.

The big farms are the ones that can afford to bribe Trump with golden offerings, so they will get bailouts and then raise their prices anyway. This Winter is when things will start getting interesting, because we can’t afford to import food but we’ll have to do it anyway, and grocery prices will go through the roof. I can’t wait to hear the MAGA excuses about why they can’t eat, but it will of course be blamed on the Dems. Quite frankly, I say let them rot. I’ve been stockpiling canned goods over the Summer, I can wait it out.

Keep in mind that seasonal crops are going to be harvested soon, and nobody will be getting good prices from foreign sales this year. I know most farmers can ride out at least one bad season, but if the current policy continues into next year you can bet that a huge number of farms are going to completely collapse.

Every claim they make that the shooter was left-leaning has been found to be an outright lie.

Influenced towards the left in college? He spent one semester during the 2021 lockdowns taking online courses.

Old friend who said the shooter leaned left? Retracted the same day after realizing he actually didn’t know if he was thinking of the same person.

And now this crap of the roommate being trans? The roommate had a tiktok chat where he asked an AI to generate an anime character from his photo and it generated a female character. The roommate then clarified he was wearing a “sloth” hoodie because he was hoping the AI would generate a sloth themed character.

This “evidence” just goes to show how desperate the right is to make people believe the left is declaring war on them. As usual, the right wants to play the victim in something they’ve done to themselves. And lets not forget the shooter was an active groyper – that simply cannot coexist with someone who is left-leaning.
