This is awesome!

Same here. I would have used this pretty much anywhere.
Re:Blender releases their Oscar winning version tool on Thursday March 27, 2025 @05:43AM (#43491814)
I started doing 3D on the Amiga so I grew up using for the most part Lightwave and later moved to Softimage (until those cunts at Autodesk killed it). I also managed to get a copy of Maya 1.0 beta (it was 0.9x something) from a friend that had friends at a big studio.

I remember how everyone was very into 3DSMax for the longest time. Then everyone was into Maya. Briefly some people even switched to Modo.

Blender has come a long way from v2.x where some people started to use it. It's brilliant seeing how many people have adopted it. I also noticed a strange shift in knowledge. Like something has been lost in translation. Many 3D concepts are getting rediscovered today by a generation that never heard of 3DSMax, LW, SI, etc. It's a fascinating.

Re:Orion Browser by Kagi: Lightweight, WebKit Based on Friday February 28, 2025 @04:08AM (#43203449)
Orion is awesome but I wish they also made a Windows version.
It's much, much worse than both of those. And we view it more like, only 1/3 of Americans have voted against this while 1/3 voted for it and 1/3 was ok with that. So yeah, the resentment and anger towards the US and it's citizens is growing.
/r/Europe on reddit for, at least, some partial info.
Tbh it's the same sentiment in Europe as well. We really want to stop caring who is your new/next president what side of the bed did he wake up on.
As how things have been going the last couple of days, I think the EU should double down on that.
Re:VSCode's SSH agent is bananas on Saturday February 08, 2025 @01:43PM (#42985110)
It isn’t. I mean yeah gateway is what you described. But the functionality is also included in Jetbrains IDEs and doesn’t require any manual install on the server. It installs its own thing exactly like VSCode does.
Re:VSCode's SSH agent is bananas on Saturday February 08, 2025 @08:43AM (#42982891)
I think the latest Jetbrains tools do the same or similar things. They also install their own server on the target machine and connect to that. And I mean it's Jetbrains, so again, closed source tools. But it's not Microsoft so nobody is talking about it I guess.
Re:Kagi – Introducing Fair Pricing on Wednesday February 05, 2025 @02:57AM (#42945394)
I used to have issues with VPNs but it’s been a long time ago. Works flawlessly now.
AFAIK there was no plot. They were pretty open about it since the start.
Re:A common urban intersection in the Netherlands on Thursday November 21, 2024 @05:30AM (#42202857)
Hahah, I would never! :D It definitely shows that the Netherlands had an early start and still an advantage. Kudos on that!

It's not that much different from Copenhagen where I live. Bike lanes are everywhere.

Elegant software for a more civilized age.
Re:Touchscreens are out, and tactile controls are back on Monday November 04, 2024 @04:16AM (#42039854)
No but I have a microfreak that has something similar :) It's cool but buttons and knobs are better.
In my hometown in Istria you can find the lion of Venice on many buildings. And pretty much everyone to this day will rather speak in the Venetian dialect, than Croatian.

Re:Swimmable Cities on Friday September 13, 2024 @06:06AM (#41529703)
I moved to Copenhagen a couple of years ago. Still learning Danish but you can get by with knowing only English without any problem. Pretty much everyone can understand you.
Re:Swimmable Cities on Friday September 13, 2024 @05:50AM (#41529624)
Living in Copenhagen as well. Came in the comments to find exactly something like this :) We are privileged more than most in this regard.
I live in Denmark and I've been to Stockholm and I'll be going to Vienna as well. There was a lot of Americans in Sweden for those three tour dates. Not as much as Paris or (probably) London but still very noticeable specially at restaurants, museums and hotels. I think for Paris it was something like 20% of Americans.
How will that work considering Steam is banning any game with AI content. Or at least it did until now.

I got into CoQ only recently but I've been enjoying it immensely. What a fantastic game!
Re:Galaksija: The Soviet-Era, Z80-based microcomputer on Thursday October 12, 2023 @08:02AM (#37856033)
We had one at our school but I never got the chance to use it. It was for older kids only and I got assigned to the ZX Spectrum with the others :) Not that I'm complaining.
Re:Bintracker: A Chiptune Audio Workstation for the 21st Century on Wednesday September 06, 2023 @08:49AM (#37404351)
I've been a fan and user of trackers since Octamed on the Amiga :) Renoise is an amazing DAW and my favorite piece of music software.
Re:Total Commander on Friday September 01, 2023 @05:51AM (#37348701)
It's been my default file manager since the Amiga days of the early 90s. I do love TC and have been using it at work a lot on and off but DOpus is forever.
Re:Ask HN: What's the coolest physical thing you've made? on Monday August 07, 2023 @05:19PM (#37041087)
Back in the days of the Amiga, me and a friend were in high school and we were obsessed with Formula 1GP from Microprose so we took a couple of joysticks apart and we built ourselves the pedals and a wheel with gear shifts. It was pretty trashy looking but worked remarkably well.
