Cries in CAD

FreeCAD is 1.0 now released, in case you haven’t heard the news.
Small steps, and still far and away from the thousands of dollars a year programs but the future is bright in this space!

Hm maybe I’ll check ot out again someday, but being able to use professional CAD it’s so much of a difference in productivity that it feels really bad.

An Internet meme, or meme (/miːm/, “MEEM”), is a cultural item (such as an idea, behavior, or style) that spreads across the Internet, primarily through social media platforms like YouTube, Twitter, and Reddit. Internet memes manifest in a variety of formats, including images, videos, GIFs, and other viral content. Key characteristics of memes include their tendency to be parodied, their use of intertextuality, their viral dissemination, and their continual evolution.

In conclusion, it is a meme, but it’s debatable how much of a meme it actually is.

What happened to my needs being primary and the device being secondary, serving me? A device is not primary, it does not have rights. Sales is transferring rights from one person or entity to another, for their use, no strings attached. We have completely upended the primary idea of commerce.
Perhaps some Ferengi-style Rules of Acquisition. And some kind of death penalty for CEOs.

Eh. One thing proprietary software has going for it is clear design goals and the leadership to create a cohesive UX. Open source projects tend to be a grab bag of tools that work well for developers.
Not saying I don’t love FOSS, but there’s definitely stuff that proprietary software does better in a practical sense, whatever else your opinion of it.

Foss struggles to get dev time. If everything was foss, we could coordinate easier.
MMNT@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I am a designer with 20 years of experience. I’ve tried contributing to FOSS, but the developers are incredibly stubborn and work purely guided by their own assumptions. Hence the horrible UX on so much FOSS. There are more than enough design people that would love to contribute, but are met with nothing but ridicule and insults.

Counterpoint - if everything was FOSS it would be absolute chaos with no direction, conflicting goals, incomplete projects, and limited oversight.

Fair dues, Microsoft managed to fuck that up in spite of itself.

That is not a feature of proprietary software. That is a feature of an organisation. It only makes sense to make software for a profit in an organisation, so that’s why there’s so many of those. FOSS also has a lot of organisations, which are also pretty often used btw, but they are not required.
Not having to rely on an approval by any entity is a big thing for people fucking around with stuff. And fucking around with stuff makes one good at that stuff.
nehal3m@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
I don’t disagree that it is a feature of organizations, but if you’re talking about creating a product that has been designed around a common philosophy and UX, that is diametrically opposed to fucking around with stuff. There’s a place for that and it does improve people’s skills, I also don’t disagree there. All I’m saying is there exists a tendency for software produced by organizations to adhere to a UX philosophy.

You can have OSS without the F
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 5 months ago
There’s a very good reasons why people and organisations will pay for proprietary software when there is a free alternative available. I’ve used FOSS word processors before, for example, and they’re okay, but nothing like what Microsoft Office can do. Same with video editing.
NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 5 months ago
Yup… risk transfer

And there are also very good reasons why people and organisations are stopping relying on proprietary software and switching to open alternatives that won’t lock them up.

As someone who uses Gnome familly applications daily, I have to disagree with the notion that bad UX is fundamental to FOSS software. The gnome apps and shell all follow the same set of UX guidelines and feel quite cohesive as a result. I can definetly see where you get the idea of bad UX in foss though (looking at you, GIMP and Libreoffice)
nehal3m@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
I’m not saying it’s fundamental, sorry, I should have specified. You’re exactly right, GNOME is driven by it’s Foundation and so there is leadership in place to make sure that the software ends up as a cohesive whole. Software projects that don’t, or that create one after the fact, tend to be a lot less so.

Pathetic. Blender too hard for you, huh? You want a designer to make it simple and easy for you, huh? You are just like the “I would use Linux but the terminal is so difficult” people.
nehal3m@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
If you’re going to be an asshole about it, pick something other than Blender. That is one of the best examples of how organizations produce cohesive software that adheres to design standards with the express purpose of making it user friendly. User friendly is not the same as easy. It means ‘respect the user’, not ‘fisher price’.
You’re espousing the exact attitude that drives people away from contributing to FOSS software to solve problems so please crawl into a deep hole and spam neofetch on your Arch Thinkpad, cretin.
