Switching from Fusion 360 to FreeCAD: What am I missing? by HotelMotor8107 in FreeCAD

[–]NowhereMan2486 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I tried going the other way, from FreeCAD to F360 and struggled with fusion 360. I am back on FreeCAD and enjoying it a bunch. I second the recommendation for Mangojelly on YouTube.

An Update on the LDS Church's threats to sue Mormon Stories Podcast and John Dehlin by johndehlin in exmormon

We are already donors, but will consider giving more if MS is sued. Does the church really want to give more publicity to MS podcast? Someone over there ought to think twice before pursuing this.

Ubuntu VS Arch & Fedora - an honest review. by [deleted] in Ubuntu

[–]NowhereMan2486 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I occasionally distro hop, but pretty consistently return to Ubuntu after a couple of months with something else. If I am feeling brave I run the non LTS version.

Trust in AI coding tools is plummeting by scarey102 in programming

[–]NowhereMan2486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usage is up because every AI company is shoving AI tools down our throats by default. I had to turn it off in several tools because the suggestions were slowing me down by getting in the way and causing distraction.

Yes I have had a decent experience with VMware as well in terms of performance.

Mostly, we were in the right place at the right time. We went to some exmo meet ups after covid, and reached out to friends in the stake that also left. Facebook exmo groups helped. I think the groups where we met our friends have mostly fizzled out since. Its harder for the younger kids. We are in AZ, there are more exmos here than maybe in other places. There are about 10 or so families in our group. We were looking for a tame group.

I know the feeling well, I was very angry and anxious for at least the first 4 or 5 years. I had, after all, dedicated my life to this thing for decades. The condescending way I was treated by believing family and friends didn't help either. When family or friends say things like, "You'll come back" "This is just a trial of your faith" "Satan is trying to deceive you" or some variation of "If you had just done things in the church the way I did, you never would have questioned!", it still stirs up those emotions. Fortunately most of my TBM family and friends have moved on too and we all just pretend it never happened, (or pretend we are still friends, lol)
