I work with and contribute to a QGIS plugin that manage water and sewage network data. Together with PostGIS, it's a powerful tool. https://github.com/giswater

I don't know about Blender, but for QGIS I think open or at least well known formats are what gave it a chance to compete against ArcGIS. For CAD, I think that an strong open format would make things much more easy for FOSS CAD softwar

There is an interesting pattern emerging in this thread. There are a lot of 'same here' and 'opposite for me' comments, but both sides are converging on the same point: people developing software to solve a problem. Many

People treat SPA and MPA as oposing teams, one is the right way and the other is garbage. But this is not how it must be seen. What we have is the natural way to do things with web stack (the way it's is mean to be used), and the &quot

In fact, the most valuable resource on the internet is finite: atention with the possibility of influence those who give it to you. This is already a question of national security.

Even ignoring opinions not related to software, Stallman is still controversial; he's a radical advocate for software freedom. And FSF is a radical organization, too. People and institutions with radical positions are unlikely to achie

That's how the print media wrote their articles. They've already sold the paper/magazine to you, so now the goal was to make you feel like you have as much information as you would like with as little effort as possible, so y
