I hear you. With Android turning into a closed OS like iOS later this year things are not looking very bright for people like me that uses alternative stores a lot.

Tell me about it. Like Linux Phone hurry up!

I miss the FirefoxOS concept. Ahead of its time. Basically ran PWAs for everything.

Honestly, I would really fuck with a comprehensive Linux mobile experience. I know some things exist, but they aren't yet fully rounded off. I say this now, but know damn well I'd tinker with something I shouldn't and wind up needing to reinstall the OS like five times.

Theres always e/os, iodeos, grapheneos and other forks

I really liked my Jolla phone back in the days. I hope they make a good comeback.

Yeah, Creative Suite era, before Creative Cloud. That for every Adobe product.

Pandas/Polars is all I need in a Jupyter notebook to replace Excel. Its not even a contest if you know some python for doing any real work.

I concede Excel has a lower bearer to entry for teams composed of mixed technical abilities.

Re: email. Have you tried Port87?

Yeah, excel really is hard to beat. Good one.

Email

Wdym? There are lots of providers, I think the competition isn't lacking.

Tried affinity.studio?

I really like photopea.

Paint.NET is great.

I’d just like something that’s easy to use, common enough I don’t need to teach people to use it, secure by design, and not owned by an evil megacorp.

Hey I don't want to preach but if many people were able to learn how to use Chrome OS over the last decade they will be able to learn how to use the latest Ubuntu (or whatever flavor of Linux is now considered the most intuitive and fully featured for new users).

Yeah that ring kissing rubs me.

You could always use HaikuOS (kidding) there’s ZERO evil behind that one!

Like last week. It’s cad software from 20 years ago that’s trying to be everything and not really mastering anything.

I want an open source option that focuses on UI/UX and not… well, whatever freeCAD is doing.

I have the same UI issues with GIMP and Inkscape. When programmers try to make human interface. (No offense to programmers)

I started using it after 1.0, still haven't gotten anywhere with it because it's just not intuitive and I'm constantly running into problems where I have to go into the documentation. If it was good someone familiar with other CAD software would be able to switch to it without so many issues. I found a YouTube series that someone recommended that looks pretty good though so I'm going to lock in and go through that and try again because I really don't have any other choice. At least it doesn't crash every time you fuck up constraints anymore.

I’ve found Obsidian to work well for me. Its plugin ecosystem is pretty robust, so there’s a lot of room to bolt on features.

And if you really need an open source option with every possible tool and a full customization language… emacs

Obsidian, Joplin or Logseq. Have you tried any of these?

markor on android seems pretty good for me, have you tried it?

Disregard, my original comment since first using this program it looks like it's been ensloppified, what a tragedy

I like Trillium https://github.com/TriliumNext/Trilium

I just want apple notes self hosted.

I've stuck with notesnook for awhile, but i might switch it up after my premium subscription ends.

Trilium Notes is great for note taking. It can do complex formatting and attachments and all that stuff. And you can self host the server and keep it synced across devices. I use it every day

(ideally, self hosted) overleaf with texlive-full installed?

Closest paid version I can think of is Bluebeam Revu.

It’s not for Linux, but Affinity is pretty good for a photoshop/illustrator alternative

Also, if vector is your speed and you want something kinda like Adobe XD, Lunacy is free, cross platform and has a web version

Icons8.com/lunacy-download

lunacyapp.com

affinity.studio

GIMP really should just copy the Photoshop interface. PhotoGIMP helps a little bit, but not much.

Not OP, but FreeCAD auto-constraints in sketches are all over the place, and figuring out which constraint is a problem and selecting the right element in the UI is terrible.

The redundant constraint detection works pretty well and FreeCAD usually remove them.

The main issue for me is that certain auto-constraints will not work as they advertise on your cursor.

The biggest culprit for me is the coincident constraint.

Let's say that you have two lines in a 90 degree corner. If you add a line in the middle of any of the two lines, the cursor shows you that it will add a coincident constraint. But when you create your line, the coincident constraint isn't applied.

And the other thing for me is that navigating which part of a line (and which line) is selected is not intuitive and correcting or adding constraints to fully constraint the drawing is a wild goose chase.

I will reinstall FreeCAD (just formatted my PC) and try to reproduce the issue.

For me, it would show on the cursor that the coincident constraint was supposed to be applied, but it wouldn't do that.

Have you tried Microsoft Exchange? ;) 📎

How many grandkids do you have? ;) ;)

Oh and it’s monthly too? That’s the worst. For CAD I only print something like once or twice per month. I cannot justify any cost monthly.

Have you tried any of the Elegoo.com products? I know nothing about resin printing, but they supposedly support it
