  • Yeah I don’t agree with the osd being the only approach to being open source. Turns out people have differing opinions on that. You’re welcome.

    It wasn’t a response to my comment because you didn’t respond to my comment. You said is proprietary. I point out that it’s not a terrible license. Then you resort to a sound bite non response.

    You could have pointed out for example that ftl 3.2 and 4.1 are pretty shitty limitations to impose.


  • Ah. Of course. Something being open source doesn’t make it open source. It all makes sense now thank you for clarifying.

    That also wasn’t technically a response to my comment, it was an ideological defense mechanism to avoid addressing the content of the license.




  • No it’s a security and fingerprinting tradeoff.

    The more your browser acts to hide your behaviors and limit tracking, the more unique your fingerprint is. The most private browser setup is one which appears to be identical to all the other traffic in a non unique way, or noise. This definitionally lacks information for tracking.

    Also security flaws and tracking exploits need to be constantly patched.

    This is a fundamental tradeoff for privacy. Using more obscure browsers can (not always) then expose you to behavioral fingerprinting because they look different and react to web pages differently.



  • With about a half an hour of reading documentation it became very clear a couple versions ago what work benches were, which were useful to me, and how to use them. That’s maybe longer than going from inventor to solidworks or visa versa, but hardly that bad. For a beginner it will be taking a long time anyway and there will be essentially no difference, except that you’ll learn a much more robust understanding of how parametric modeling works.



  • Those things are not enshittification, enshittification is the process where a service becomes worse as a means to extract more value from users and then shareholders, where user does not just mean the classic consumer but ad sellers, data buyers, etc.

    Not all annoying features are enshittification, but enshittification is not just misfeatures.

    You may know all this but I felt your comment was not clear enough about the distinction.
