Of course. Not a single quantum computer has done anything but test programs and quantum-specific benchmarks. Until a quantum computer finally does something a normal computer regularly does, but faster, we should simply ignore this area.

That is the point: The pure threat of being forced to open that code could shift the business model to not have proprietary server / cloud code at all.

So pirating full works for commercial use suddenly is “fair use”, or what? Lets see what e.g. Disney says about this.

How about getting forced to go open source when they abandon a product?

I remember when Thomas called me to show me something new: like Gopher, but with hypertext. And I have been on the original web server, Tim Barners-Lee’s NeXT cube.

So primarily a server administration failure, inviting anyone to take them down.

It was never up in this house.

Three times I have tried to get a grip on Blender, and have given up. You have to dig deep to put something on precise coordinates, and if you click something wrong, everything is fucked up with the UI without a way back. Documentation is random YT videos that all seem to assume that you already have a blender diploma.

With openscad, it took me half a day from installing the software, doing tutorials to finished design.

Absolutely. Blender is so fucked up. Designed for the artsy types, but if you need something at exactly these coordinates, you are fucked.

With openscad you have precision, repeatability, and you can even write scad source code from some data points you have, and just use it.

I’ll wait and see when someone finally produces a RISC-V chip that can keep up with the big boys. But they can’t even compete with ARM at the moment, so I am not holding my breath.
