Blender

Check out Ondsel it's a FreeCAD fork that is very polished and has some optional paid teirs for PLM. They are using RealThunder's fix to the topological naming problem and Assembly3 for their assembly workbench. Which works really well on the small subassemblies I've made so far. I've been using it for a few weeks after switching to Linux as my daily driver and loosing access to Fusion360, it's missing a ton of EOL features still, Offsets is a big one for me, but it's getting there.

As someone that's been using CAD for almost 15 years it still takes a bit of a learning curve coming from Softwares like SOLIDWORKS, NX, Creo, or Fusion. But after getting the hang of it and installing some great add-ons from the community to expand the workbenches I'm really loving it. It's built in FEM great for static models. Not replacing ANSYS anytime soon. But fun to mess around with.

Having a solid basis in GD&T really helps you understand why FreeCAD makes certain decisions. Learning DOF rescritions using minimum constraints really sets you up for success. And using OG datums for sketches and then project to surfaces has been a big mindset shift for me that's helped solve a lot of issues I had with the software when I first used it years back.

Teams destroying relationships

Reply in thread

I feel like you're the only person making sense. I work for a big corp that has a competent IT department. We shifted over to teams from Skype after COVID like a lot of other companies. There were some growing pains especially with some of the older folks at work but honestly it's been a net benefit. I have my personal gripes but my company is over 20k people and our implementation of the system is honestly awesome for corporate work.

Everything now is linked through our SharePoint site and smaller org based teams groups within that. We each control our own little micro site within the greater whole and it's much easier to share things between groups vs sending directory links through email or Skype. It's much more secure as I can control the permissions of files I share when I make the link. Very helpful when communicating with outside vendors. Timed permissions are really nice too as I can share access to a file for a certain amount of time before they have to request more access. Auto save has saved my ass tons of times but that's more of a SharePoint thing. But it does cause Excel sheets to calculate slower which is a big bummer and a tradeoff.

Does teams fuck up sometimes, ya it does. Especially when sending pictures or videos but fuck I don't know how you would even run a huge org like ours without something that is this integrated. People that complain about teams on Lemmy have interacted with it very little or work on teams that are small and don't implement it right. Id rather use a different system if I was working in any other environment and I do when I work on personal projects or small volunteer teams. Mostly slack and discord.

Sure the better option is a home brew system internal to the company you work for but when our company is already using Azure and 365 the switch to teams has been a no brainer.

Any advice in getting AOE4 to Run through Proton

Reply in thread

I tried running the script but I have grub2 instead of grub and I am honestly not comfortable modifying boot up configs willey-nilley since I use this machine for side gig work and gaming. I tried ProtonGE like someone mentioned below and that also did not work. Game still looks like this at about 20fps. Which is unideal for an RTS lol
