The interactive approach should be just as future proof. Programmatic interfaces are not really suitable for many designers. Who work more intuitively with direct visual interaction. I couldn’t imagine doing really complex stuff programmatically.

The primitives are parameric. I’d assume ACIS solids are too? You can try it out yourself by following one of those links.

Sounds like it’s a good idea to join a union just to get bought out, and walk away with the 1.2 million.
*vales are estimated, based on me thinking up some number.

Facebook is bots ONLY. So none of this matters.

Look out for any Linux dip in figures, as some people give up trying to use Linux, and move away again. If they hit a tricky problem, and go online for help, some will just scare them away with an over techy response. And they will share their horror story, keeping more people away from Linux.

True. But actually I don’t have a car. My last car decades ago, had a cassette player. But that had Auto Reverse. When it reached the end of the tape it would play the other side without you having to eject the tape and turn it over!

That depends on where you live. I’m lucky I dont need a car. I cycle to work and live near bus/tram/underground train if needed. So it’s not a necessity. More of an annoyance and expense.

For me a good viewfinder makes framing and composition decisions way easier than the phone screen. Especially in bright sunlight.

I don’t know what functionality those other ones have. People suggest Friendica.

No mention of centralised versus decentralised social media. The thing that makes the biggest difference. No ads. No algorithm. No lock in, swap networks keeping friends and followers. Tune your timeline to suit you. Calling everything social media is trash journalism when those issues are already solved. Clearly he has no clue about the topic.

With many critical apps still running on Windows only, Windows needs to get worse!
To push those software companies over to embrace Linux finally. Then the users can follow.
Keep going Microsoft. Constantly giving users more reasons to switch to a secure OS. One that is not spying on them.
