@non_burglar @digitalRights4All In case you weren’t aware, everything from the crosspost shows as intended in Friendica, same (formatting aside) as I see it if I go to the lemmy.zip post.
Really cool project too!! I’ve wanted for quite some time to build one that mounts on my arm like in the later episodes of Chuck. I was thinking of runing #postmarketOS on mine though.
Hope ye stick with it, this is what it’s all about.

Never messed with #WSL, does it give you the capability run a full-on WM the way we could with #cygwin? I used to use it to run #enlightenment on my #Windows computer at work.

@asdasd201 Sounds to me like yer gonna do just fine. 🤘
@asdasd201 The sad reality is that you will likely have no choice but to use AutoCAD since that’s what your instructor wants you to use. Even if you are able to use something free/open, there is always a chance that something in the file will render incorrectly when loaded into AutoCAD.
The best thing (I think) you could do is do the assignment in both #AutoCAD, and #CAD software of your choosing be that #FreeCAD, #QCAD, #blender, #LibreCAD, or something else with which I’m unfamiliar. After class, speak with your instructor and teach them that these things can be done using #FOSS solutions as well, could be they don’t even know. Worst that happens is you’ll have taught yourself how to do the same thing in different software. Everything that was taught (that I can recall) in the #drafting classes I took 30 years ago can be done in any of the softwares I mentioned, but I’m sure things are a bit different these days.
It’s quite irresponsible of educational institutions to push students into specific software, versus teaching concepts which can be translated across multiple. Teaching students only about expensive licenced software (regardless of providing free student licences) over the concepts used to accomplish the task, promotes ignorance over education, and encourages software pirating.

Never tried it, but couldn’t you set normalization in mpv.conf? The android version does allow you to add your configs there.

@pixeldaemon As a 20+ year gentoo user, I often point people to the handbook as a tool for helping them to gain a solid understanding of linux. The way I recommend you go about it is to first read through the entire handbook and (most importantly) go read about each thing you encounter in it that you don’t understand. Once you think you somewhat have a grasp of why each step is in there, start running through an install. Only use prebuilt kernels for now (ever really), there is no need to build one yourself unless you need something specific. Don’t worry about fuck ups, just keep going till you get through it, you’ll learn what you did wrong as you progress. Once you’ve made it as far as a functional desktop, rinse and repeat until you find yourself only referencing the handbook for verification, not reading it, then move on to learning about portage.
