Let’s not fool ourselves, adverts were always there and intrusive, remember those hotbars that your parents would have 100 of installed somehow? Sure things are worse, but they were never perfect.

Any specific brand recommendations? Asking for a friend of course.

Lol, fair enough.

I read my first book in 11 years, I finished it 2 weeks ago. It’s The Expanse. I loved the series and someone gifted me the first book.

My trick? I commute by train and have my book with me everywhere I go. If there’s waiting to be done, there’s reading time.

Is Mastadon different?

But they don’t make them anymore :(

Thanks for the suggestion, I was looking at buying another soldering iron. I’m using a really obscure brand one that I got from my dad and that I have been using since I was around 8 (30 years ago).

I can only get replacement tips in South Africa so was looking for something with more support.

Honest question, how long is the fluid supposed to last? And I’m not talking about burning time. I have a zippo, I fill it, a few weeks later I go to use it and the flame lasts a few seconds as the fuel finishes.

Felt the same about Lemmy when I signed up.

Maggots aren’t worms.

You mean the infamous hacker Anonymous, it’s just one person who is on 4chan all the time time.

I initially hated Zoom, but honestly, it did its job really well

Let us not forget confluence

You don’t need mods, it’s a DLC, not a mod.

Looks like you can download and install it using this:

https://store.rg-adguard.net/

Paste in the product url and select retail.

https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9wzdncrfj3t6

It will take a little Google to see which files to DL and how to install them.

I’m going to keep a copy on my PC now that I know it’s been taken down.

Wait, you can’t downland it from their store at all anymore?

No, it’s adjacent to 3D Paint. I never really liked 3D Paint actually.

For parametric modelling, that’s super easy and you can get into it pretty quickly, but organic modelling is a whole different story and is what takes the hundreds of hours.

While I’ve messed around in Maya and 3DS Max, its so much more difficult than parametric and Modifying high poly models requires tons of ram and a beefy PC. I spent a month trying to bake a bump map onto a model so that I could 3D print it and 90% of the time the applications crashed, Maya, 3DS and Blender all crashed when trying to do it, and none of them could do it right either. I pretty much gave up on that.

May not be a popular opinion, but if you just want to fix shit like that, you can use Microsoft 3D Builder, it’s super simple and pretty powerful.

Modifying existing meshes is difficult, especially more complex ones, I find that this makes it much easier to fix dumb shit or make simple modifications.
