This is a very interesting project. I am an architect and still end up spending too much time working in AutoCAD.
Not only is it an outdated and pretty legacy-bound piece of software, but it is also quite expensive and not really offering much for the money. Unfortunately, there are not many alternatives.
I’ve been away of this project for a few months. It is very much an open source AutoCAD “clone” type of project, which also tells me that once it gets noticed by Autodesk, it will get …interesting.
This same person or “group” is also doing an open source (obviously AI coded) version of a robust (but also too expensive and not great) PDF viewer that very much looks like a clone.
Personally I’m happy to see this, and this guy (it is mostly one person) is doing good work but I am also very disappointed that there is no “evolution” or creativity on display here.
Most American Conservatives have no idea what Russian style policy is, or what life, even for “middle class” Russians is like.
They are passive, lazy and infantile people that just go along with whatever their peers and their media diet (Fox News, Talk Radio, Facebook, and now mass media) spoon feeds them.
The core of these people were always either racist or greedy or tolerant of racists for some other idiotic or bigoted reason.
This is what happens when you have a society of overly “soft” and spoiled people. People that have basically never experienced hardship for 2, 3 or 4 generations.
America happens to be the most powerful and most culturally dominant country right now, but this isn’t a special thing. It is human nature and America is just ahead of the curve.
