I wonder if China has a favorite.
I’m a scientist and systems engineer, particularly materials science, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, bioengineering, renewable energy, um… okay, so kind of I enjoy being a general engineer and doing a little of everything.
But I love trying to help scientists turn super technical concepts into usable prototypes because I can translate biologist to electrical engineer really effectively.
I am the star trek kind of anarchist.

hmm, but when I looked under the #mosstadon tag from within Mastodon, I don’t see any of these. Something isn’t quite talking yet.
there’s a set of posts like this

I thought that the microblog/tag search stuff would share individual posts “microblogs” or whatnot between the tools. And ideally pixelfed so we can get #mosstadon posts originating from instagram style systems.
I love #mosstadon (do mastodon tags do anything in posts on kbin I wonder?).
I love how many mastodon posts are people taking pretty pictures of moss or mushrooms or birds.
I saw the writing on the wall a few years back, it was so painfully obvious. I started switching to KiCAD early, and feel so bad for ever recommending Eagle to people who will now have to learn yet another new tool in order to find something usable.
Fusion360 is so bad, I had to explain why SolidWorks was different earlier today and they were shocked by things like “if I move the case the board I say is attached to the case moves to” and “I don’t have to align it by eye, it’s a computer”.
And I’m definitely not starting VMWare to run Fusion360 with nonsense online components that slow it down to uselessness and integrate it into a tool that doesn’t need to be on at all… it’s just not possible. It was obvious once they stopped updating the version. It’s pathetic nonetheless that they cannot think beyond the one-true-way of integrating a dozen mediocre tools into one extra-mediocre product.
