Only sometimes unfortunately

As long as anything political or related to religion is avoided she’s mostly fine

Why compete when you can destroy the other companies without restrictions?

Imagine Walmart buys the local water company then cuts water off to their competitors by charging them an exorbitant amount? Or the local power company? What’s to stop them?

They can just absorb the local utilities and start intentionally giving their competitors terrible or no service and drive them out of business.

It just turns to feudalism.

I’m good having regulations

If my boss could literally own me I know he would

How would they go to a new one if he uses the massive power he has to absorb and destroy the competition?

How would they get there if the roads no longer connect to other areas because Bezos bought all the construction companies and makes the cost too high to maintain those roads?

How would they get the capital together (a massive undertaking) or the equipment together (again a massive undertaking) as Walmart buys up the entire supply chain to provide the pipes and power lines?

Oh you want to hire an electrician for grid work? Walmart won’t sell you or rent you the equipment. Want to hire a plumber for grid work? Walmart won’t sell you the required equipment to set it up.

Not even that but what’s to stop them from corporate espionage? Sabotaging their competitors. “Oh we trap rain water and truck it to people. Lately people have been getting really sick from our water but not Walmarts water.”

Walmart has enough capital on hand to work at a loss for a long long time before it’s an issue. How would their competitors compete when they can’t beat Walmarts prices?

Walmart has already done this with grocery stores in areas in the modern day. Lower their prices to the point of operating at a loss locally to drive the competition out of business and once their gone then bring the prices back up.

With our current levels of regulations.

Less regulations would only make things worse not better.

And sometimes the Windows only software is more “Windows only” and works with Wine

Windows 3D Builder though is firmly in the Windows Only category though. Which is a bummer because in my experience it’s the best at repairing 3D models for 3D printing that have errors like holes, redundant geometry, inverted faces, etc.

I didn’t know about the 16-bit support, which is really cool to say the least

I see myself as still somewhat of a noob to Linux

Lychee Slicer (slicer used for resin printing) is usually pretty good but sometimes it’ll still fail

Which basically means I’d have 2 choices, go in there manually with Blender or fire up Windows 3D Builder and let it work it’s magic

I haven’t fully given up on trying to find a way to get it to work on Linux but I’ve had to take a break from trying purely due to frustration
