@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.

“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.

Just gotta say that running Windows OSes on a Mac in VMs .. rocks!

I have clients on Windows and Mac. Been using VMware Fusion for years to run multiple OSes at once and switch between them as needed.

The best part, though, is being able to run old software! I have a copy of #AutoCAD 2004 (from when I worked at #Autodesk 20+ years ago), that runs great in my Win7 VM. I'm also able to run #FrameMaker 12 (2014) .. pre-subscription.
