What I’m looking for is something like https://tuple.app/, but open source.

Thanks for your suggestions! All look like viable solutions, but I’m looking for open-source alternatives to those :)

The use case would be pair programming. Only one of the users would control the desktop at a given time, and the second would be mostly watching and pointing out things. After a while, the roles of programmer and observer could switch and the second user could take control.

This is something I struggle with constantly. I feel like everybody around me does not care about their privacy. All of them say the typical “Why go through all the effort, sacrificing a lot of functionality and convenience for the sake of privacy? I have nothing to hide!”. It drives me crazy, and I feel kind of powerless without a convincing argument that makes them at least understand that installing stuff like Instagram on your phone is basically willingly installing a virus. They don’t even get surprised anymore when the ads they see are about stuff they were talking about with someone else in real life, and never mentioned or searched in their phones. I’m afraid that this will only get worse with time, and new generations that are being born under these circumstances are going to see it as normal. This means that making them understand the implications of not taking their privacy seriously is going to be harder and harder. I won’t give up, though. I’m still searching for my “irrefutable argument”.

I’m in the same boat! I got tired of the constant enshittification of Fusion360 and started learning FreeCAD. And wow! it’s way less intuitive. But I think I’ll push through, as I don’t want anything but open-source for this. The reason being that I don’t want the same thing to happen again: I spend an unholy amount of time learning how to use a CAD software, and then it becomes the hottest steaming pile of corporate shit possible and I don’t want to use it anymore. That’s why I haven’t even started looking at OnShape. With open-source the biggest risk is that the same thing might happen if the project gets abandoned, but it doesn’t seem to be the case for FreeCAD (at least in the foreseeable future). In any case, I’m interested in hearing what others have to say :)

Stephen Hawes

He made really cool electronics projects and I used to be his patreon. Now he started a company that makes pick and place machines and all of his videos are exclusively about that. No more cool projects.

Alexandre Chappel

He is a very good maker and designer. He used to make videos about different interesting projects until he bought an apartment and started renovating it himself. Similarly to Stephen’s, all of his videos are about that now. No more interesting projects.

For me it was the Dolomites, in Italy. I considered abandoning my current life and moving there several times during my trip.
