Sadly, that’s true. I also cannot understand how western mainstream left can listen to vapourware – in Europe, not to mention the remaining west, we are encircled by capitalism from all sides, how one may enjoy to listen it in condensed doses?

I suppose that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

I am very happy with MX Linux, a good starting point for new Linux users

This makes me eager to try to watch it

You got the point

This should radicalize any neoliberal with even slightest amount of decency

I do not know Comrade, I found it on some Polish website quite recently

I did not notice it 😲

I just wanted to write something similar

How we can maintain infinite growth? This shit even has own emoticons on Android 💹📈

Thank you for this knowledgeable answer comrade. I am by no means professional machine engineer, as you are, but sometimes I need to look at complicated pipework assembly, covered by few layers of sheets and tanks, in the STP format. This is very easy in Inventor, I suppose that with Catia it is very easy too, but I am unable to do it with FreeCAD. Maybe I am not skilled enough. Certainly, as you write, FreeCAD is not so well in assemblies. But quality of software is composed also from ease of use.

IMO, the problem isn’t that free software is incapable. The problem is if you are running an engineering / manufacturing firm you need to use software which is fully compatible with what your clients use.

I certainly agree. When the client or enterprise you cooperate with uses DWG format (as is the case most of times), you cannot use, etc., librecad.

There are many other cases, for example Matlab, editors for programmable logic controllers, software for industrial robots, etc.

Therefore, in such cases, I think the pragmatic solution under capitalism is to pirate such software. In the end, this is a mean of production and we just need to seize it. But under communism, such software could be made by state owned enterprises and the code could be available at least within all communist states.

0 propertiary software is possible when you do programming, IT etc. but not for a mechanical engineer, who needs AutoCAD, Inventor, Catia, Abaqus, etc. I know that there are FOSS alternatives, but they are far less developed, since producing such a software requires hundreds of people and many many hours of work. Such a software could be made by large state owned enterprises, which would make the code public, but rather not by few hobbyst in their spare time.

I suppose they are just stupid, that is, not educated enough and simply ignorant. But in western countries it is hard to have higher education degree, when the education is expensive af.

I know, you wrote well, I just tried to make a nonsese joke, that the author of the picture is like a simp to billionaires:) no offense to the ones who consider themselves simps

Oh he had strong opinions when it came to spread AIDS by telling to not to use condoms. But he remained quiet in the presence of pedophiles in the Church. The man of two yellow faces. Kremówkuj with it 😎

Don’t forget the pope 😁

There was a time when I had only Linux, but now I need software (engineering, scientific) which runs only on Windows, so I entirely switched to Windows. It is also not full compatibility between M$ Office and libreoffice, if we go into details.

Yes, absolutely disgusting, initially i though it is some far right bullshit blog and then I saw it is an archive of forbes 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️😪
