  • The perspective was “geez it sure feels dumb celebrating ‘independence and freedom’ while sisters throughout the state are being actively oppressed.”

    They know a BBQ is a small thing, they know 12 fewer people watching fireworks won’t make a difference, and they’ll keep volunteering, protesting and voting accordingly… but when you’re struggling to bubble up any feelings of patriotism and failing to find enjoyment in the spirit of the holiday, why participate?






  • I know this is old and other comments have it right- it’s a togglable mode. And while I know it feels comfortable coming from unity - I would highly recommend getting comfortable with blenders default navigation, for example selecting an object and using ‘numpad .’ to focus it. The navigation methods blender uses is way more efficient for modeling while unity’s navigation is better suited for moving around large 3d spaces.

    Ideally your individual blender projects should be much smaller than a full unity scene. Think of it less like flying around the 3d space but instead having your model sitting on a potter’s wheel and spinning it around.




  • I never made it into algebra in grade school, my scores weren’t good enough. but I took a liking to software dev and the ability to create digitally. Self taught myself all the variables and flow controls and OOP, now been a professional developer for 15 years.

    However I still suck at math, and these fancy symbols still scare me probably because they were never properly explained. But yeah, I fit right in the mold you describe. Glad I have the computer to crunch the numbers for me.

    Just want to point out reddit was open source, and built on top open source software. Techie weirdos built that community and the masses came along later. I expect we’ll see the same around here for a while, but people will contribute what they want to contribute… infosec and oss is pretty niche, I suspect it’ll be out grown eventually.
