So FreeCAD can also do programming. I did like OpenSCAD, especially minkowski sum. Downside though is it works on meshes not curves.

Dumbest take ever. Xbox runs Windows. Xbox games are sold for Windows. Xbox can not be separated from Windows, period.

This legal system is a shit joke.

It's designed to fail under the weight of its own bullshit.

Still trying to extort money from IBM after all this time. Nothing like a business model made up entirely of rent seeking.

Microsoft will never appreciate your mod abuse, clown

It's not about CMYK though - that's an even smaller gamut than RGB.

That depends on the RGB colourspace surely? But also...

For a photo editing program, you need a color space that is as large or larger than human vision.

Well you only need a gamut as large as the best device you are intending to display the image on.

Yeah like I said a small number of people really into photos need this.

Editing photos directly in RGB is the equivalent of a video production company (back in analog days) creating and editing videos exclusively on VHS tape. There's information loss every time you make a generation copy.

No, you don't generation loss in the same way. You may get loss entering the colourspace, IF any pixels saturate in either direction (i.e. are not representable in the new gamut), but you won't get any loss within the colourspace from the colourspace itself simply by doing stuff there. You might get quantization loss, of course, so you may well want more bits to avoid those accumulating.

But also my point stands: almost no one knows about that stuff, and based on the quality of stuff I see around and about a lot of professional stuff barely exceeds what you can do in MS Paint.

Well-loved? How many people were using it? Follow the chain of links and you'll see they never actually say.

I long ago lost track of the number of times I've needed to use the command line to fix something on Windows. You weren't doing anything very complicated if you never did.

A lot of Linux devs apparently think people want to work with native RGB pixels.

I think a small number of photo weenies think a lot of people are smashing it with advanced photo editing.

My personal observation is that this is not the case. The amount of professional (as in someone paid for it) signage and stuff that is utterly shit is frankly shocking. I'm talking about fucking weird contrast/colour correction, actual stretches (so round things aren't round), mucked up resolution so you can literally see nice chunky pixels, mismatched colours and so on and so forth.

Frankly I think that outside a rarefied segment of the very high end most people are not doing anything remotely advanced. I doubt they'd know CMYK if it ran up and bit them on the leg.

I don't have much by the way of current points of comparison, since I've only used FreeCAD recently. It's horribly easy to kind of mess up a model in a way it's hard to unpick. But I remember the beep of death from Pro/E and similar shenanigans from SolidWorks a number of years ago. I have noticed Rhino can do some really cool stuff but at the expense of not being parametric.

FreeCAD as of today feels way way easier to script properly than the big boys did back in the day. Plus runs on Linux (which is a huge advantage for me). I'm not trying to build a nuclear submarine or anything anyway.

Also a separate reply to note a specific detail: > 12 and 21 You mean 15 and 21. There's no way Shor's algorithm would factor 12. It only factors odd numbers.

What evidence? The only evidence you've provided was a vague wave about Shor's algorithm, which we're in agreement with. You haven't attempted to give anything else remotely resembling evidence, like a link, a citation, a source, anything here. And then after all the insults here and in the other thread where you and I discussed these issues you think the problem is me being an asshole? How hard is it rather than insult people to just give evidence that I and everyone else in this thread can actually look at, or for you to go back to the prior thread where we were having a conversation and continue that?

The leaf is the best EV. the battery has been hacked and 3rd parties sell full replacements. with cooling. 350 mile range. go search, you'll see it and proof. it's about $8.5k shipped; not USA because... obviously. add a bunch more $ and you can probably get it.

I will stop as needed. I simply change my life around the limitation. People used to visit you and you had to feed them, a tradition that continues.... but it was necessary when you traveled by foot or horse to feed and stable their horse (as cheap as electricity for their EV) and feed them because it would take day or more to travel to visit and it's the least you should do for their REAL effort to travel to see you. Also, these things were special occasions as well. People are too spoiled to the point we will destroy things for our children simply because we can't be inconvenienced! Seriously, this attitude is behind why the Boomers have screwed everything up; bunch of locusts... do you want to be like the Boomers?

Nissan screwed other nations out of support. They worked online and reverse engineered the battery system. I don't know of anybody else who has open batteries but Nissan (unwillingly but it works.)

You can buy 3rd party batteries for a Leaf that give you 350 miles range for about $8k before tariffs. Try youtube, there are people literally driving for hours showing it working. by the time you actually must replace it, those batteries will be $5k and go further... plus the replacements likely will last better too.

"They" is every stock traded company and planned failure has been the norm beginning with GE and the light bulb (there is a whole documentary on the light bulb conspiracy.) Even with product cycling, we can't make enough purposely jobs to employ everybody on earth; we need tons of consumerism to the point we lack the resources to fuel it and automation will curb the number of jobs, even the pointless ones for pointless products. We've been running to hard realities for a while and it's going to hit harder and harder... unless you are born into the ruling elite who will shield themselves from as much as they can... until they need a world war to cull the useless peasant population, maybe they'll even have open hunting season for people like Don Jr? Sounds crazy but think of the sociopaths we allow to rise to such power and how easily they could get into unthinkable topics...

People are really quick to accuse things of being AI. I've lost track of how many times on Reddit I've written two or three paragraphs with citations and someone responds accusing it of being AI. Apparently the bar is very low, and seems even lower if one is arguing for something they disagree with. But I've also had this happen with short stories. I had someone claim a short story I wrote was AI generated when the story was from 2019 and thus predated any AI that could write more than a few sentences.
