This isn't even a meme wtf

substance painter proprietary file formats. PROPRIETARY FILE FORMATS.

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.

Not to mention the Customer/Service Suppport, that is at enterprise level because regular customer support is ... well you all know already.

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

You can have OSS without the F

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.

There’s a very good reasons why people and organisations will pay for proprietary software when there is a free alternative available.

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.

Yup... risk transfer

Pay somebody else to take responsibility for pieces of your business process, then blame them when something goes wrong - that's why we have a contract.

Also just making their employees more productive.

Foss struggles to get dev time. If everything was foss, we could coordinate easier.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (2 children)

Counterpoint - if everything was FOSS it would be absolute chaos with no direction, conflicting goals, incomplete projects, and limited oversight... and also lots of inter-dev-team drama and forking.

For instance...

You are describing the current scenario where everything is proprietary

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

That looks fun.

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

That has not much do to with FOSS but with the people you are working with. Proprietary software you can't even contribute freely to begin with

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

This has been my experience as well but as a coder.

I can't count the number of contributions I've made, many of them minor. I'm talking 20-30 lines of code max.

I can count on two hands the number that have been either accepted or declined for a legitimate reason.

Time for yet another fork

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!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 53 minutes ago

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.

they made Canadian money free?? count me in

Nahman, I‘m pretty sure Chicago would still be Chicago
