I was thinking about the recently #linux adoption by other nations, i believe this will increase the market share but for some reason i think there will be a lot of big developers (of many kinds of software) that will still refuse to offers a linux version... If those governments who made the switch to linux really wants to avoid at any cost using #windows at some point in the future the #EU will intervene to force companies like #Autodesk #CSI #Graphisoft to offer their products on linux too.

@BrodieOnLinux @qdot I find this to be the worst way to decide a #TechStack.

  • If #IT was developed and maintained that way, we'd not have #Linux or even #Windows, most likely not even #CPM & #UNIX because "everyone uses punchcards and tubes, so stop complaining!"...

#NetworkEffects are #toxic when it comes to #SaaS and #proprietary shite, regardless if the bad guys are #discord, #Autodesk, #Adobe, #Apple or #Microsoft for that matter. (Don't even get me started on #SAP & #Oracle!)…

  • I just don't vibe with that appeal and would rather #SelfHost than compromise. If that makes me an outlyer then I'm happy to pay that price!

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@MxVerda@lgbtqia.space @BrodieOnLinux@mstdn.social @qdot@buttplug.engineer Well, depending on what you want to develop or communicate there are various options. - Many folks went from #GitHub to @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de / #Codeberg to do their #FLOSS development as it too has #IssueTrackers and means to discuss things without #loginwalled read-only access. Others like @torproject@mastodon.social have their own @gitlab@mastodon.social / #GitLab servers #SelfHosted. - If you want a #Chat then consider #LiberaChat if you don't demand #privacy. Otherwise @delta@chaos.social / #deltaChat and/or #XMPP via @monocles@monocles.social & @gajim@fosstodon.org may be an option. - If you do want some #LoginWalling for some reason, consider @zulip@fosstodon.org / #ZulipChat as it has a nice #threading model that can handle both asynchronous communication and high traffic without becoming unfindable or unarchiveable. Otherwise there's like @RocketChat@fosstodon.org / #RocketChat which also works great by my own experience. Case in point: #discord just makes it more cumbersome and painful than anything. It's basically *#Slack + #MicrosoftTeams, but worse*…

@DigiDavidex

Appunto il problema è che il formato nativo suo *.f3d è un formato *proprietario* di #autodesk

Come già successo, purtroppo, possono dalla sera alla mattina creare una licenza della versione free per cui tutto quello che hai fatto, dovrai pagare anche solo per aprirli

Anche solo per questo per questo #lockin inaccettabile e vergognoso, questi software, IMHO, dovrebbero essere completamente boicottati, indipendentemente dalla loro qualità/valore

@dragonminded I guess with #Autodesk enshittifying their toolchain with more and more expensive subscriptions did force a lot if folks to actually invest time and effort and money into #KiCad.

  • And TBH, they deserve it, because there needs to be real #competition to Autodesk's stuff even if it's just for hobbyists and small-scale projects.

And yes, I still regret not having bought #Eagle when #CadSoft offered a #NonCommercial / #Hobbyist license for €125 one-time, cuz I'd still be rickin' that today.

I just finished EndVertex’s video essay on for-profit creative software, and it’s really good. Not only is it an insightful walkthrough by someone with lots of experience on the matter, it is also super entertaining, personal, and well-made, with animated sketches between each segment. I highly recommend watching it.

“Two #BayArea #tech giants announce huge layoffs at almost exact same moment: #SanFrancisco design #software company #Autodesk is slashing about 1,350 workers, while #PaloAlto mainstay #HP is expanding its ongoing cuts by up to 2,000 people”

“…the executive joins a trend of shedding staff to reallocate resources toward #AI

Late with this article, still think this isn’t a co-ordinated program?

#SFGate / #WhiteCollar / #Layoffs / #Sackings / #HP / #AutoDesk <sfgate.com/tech/article/autode>

So this year, the #opensource destroyed, the concept, that if you have a lot of money you can win always, after #Deepseek, now #Blender, millions of dollars, according to the judges they were not enough to win the #Oscar.
#Flow won against #Disney, U.P. #DreamWorks and #Netflix. #b3d #Blender3d, and don't forget who else has lost, #Autodesk, #maya.
And many others should be included in this list, as like some sites that no longer exist today, such as #CGTalk.

A la mierda #Adobe, #Autodesk, #Microsoft... cada vez más perversas con subscripciones, imposibilidad para darse de baja etc.

Finally, frickin finally. And hey it only took the small company Autodesk two+ years to make an Apple Silicon version of Fusion360, so how long could it take to fix "windows on top of other apps"? About six years I think. To their credit, it seems like Fusion doesn't take up 25% of Macbook Pro M1 Max CPUs while sitting idle with no documents open. So yay?!

Hello, j'ai bossé une bonne partie de ma vie comme graphiste sous #linux
Je suis passé à #windows chez moi pour la suite Adobe 😩 et des jeux.
Je veux re-installer une #distrib linux en bi-boot.

Je travail avec des Logiciel #Autodesk donc je préfère du .rpm et du #gnome.

Avez vous svp des conseil sur quelle distribution linux polyvalente et complète pour une station de travail perso/divertissement ?

A part ubuntu je ne suis plus très à la page.
