Music from Microsoft when they had the store and original DRM. They later shut it down and on newer Windows had no way to restore your DRM keys, so the music was useless/locked. Their support basically said “oh well”. Eventually I got around the DRM by an ancient version of Roxio CD burner, somehow because it came out before MS DRM it just read the track and burned it to CD, there was no DRM checking I guess

Google search has become so shit that chatgpt sometimes actually has better info…except when it doesn’t. Stract.com is the goto for old school searching

Good thing chatgpt burned through a logs worth of CO2 for nonsense

I don’t fully trust chatgpt, but here are steps it suggested.

Set Community to Restricted or Private During or after creation:

Go to your community page.

Click “Community Settings” (gear icon if you’re a mod).

Under “Community Type”, choose:

Restricted – Only mods can post; anyone can view.

Private – Only approved users can post/comment; content may be hidden from outsiders depending on server config.

🔒 Private is best for a fully closed community.

3. Control Who Joins Still in settings:

Enable “Require mod approval to join”.

You can also toggle:

“Allow users to follow”: turn off if you don’t want lurkers.

“Enable posting for approved users only”.

4. Manually Approve Members To approve users:

Users request to join your community.

As a mod, go to the mod queue and approve or reject requests.

You may want to consider closing the group and making it by approval only. I had commented before not realizing women only posts may have also meant no comments also. Hard to prove who is who online though.

I can’t quite tell what the question is by your image. I have done a lot of descriptive geometry prior to CAD tools coming on the scene, and now work a lot with 3D geometry/topology problems, but what you describe is not going to be taught in schools because 95% of people will never need to know it. Honestly half, to three-quarters, of the people that run 3D CAD don’t really understand the geometry; its just a result they get

Do you run docker containers? If so this might be helpful https://github.com/sredna43/cellarman

I’m with @anguo, while if I have to express something I will have inner monolog, but day to day it is thought in concepts. I find it especially concept spacey when doing engineering work, it will be 3D virtual world of structures and forces (for lack of a better term) along with thought process of the problems, but there is no language to it

I’m doing my part

It has definitely changed from what it was. They have been making deals to sell all the user reply threads to places like google for AI training. Maybe the bans are about “cleaning” their data model

Not if you ad sponsors are right leaning

The CEO wants to monetize it more, sell more ads, sell your data, etc. So I’m sure that is part of the removal reasons

Yes I have used it. A while back, and I had to run the app as root. But yeah, I was setting it up for blender use

The only hardware I had trouble with was a 3D Connexion Space Pilot. Linux defaults to seeing it as a tablet mouse or track nub, rather than a 6 axis 3D controller. The Linux download from the site did get it working though.

I got lucky and picked one up for $200

Fanleas cases, no fan, no noise. https://www.monsterlabo.com/

Silent and fanless: look for a Monsterlabo case. It is all heatsink. Buy a fankess power supply, or buy a PSU that is overrates for the load and fanless under 30% load.

Its the setup I have. I can render video and other work loads and you don’t even know the system is on

Married 20 years, never thought abut cheating, got divorced , and remarried 15 years now, and never think about cheating. If you commit to somebody, they should be your one and only, IMO.
