  • i’m all for periodic contributions through channels like open collective but bounties rarely get to the point of being persuading.

    for a couple of years now my favorite foss project has been blender bim addon and its community osarch.

    it has a unique aspect. the software stack it’s trying to be an alternative of includes giants like autodesk, nemetchek etc. although it’s a gigantic shoe to fill, it has been really really successful at doing what it’s doing. i have been using it for a year now and cannot fathom to go back.

    the community consists of experienced construction sector people and a decent amount of them are directly involved in the software development, be it coding, bug triage, educational content, technical support etc.

    i guess the thing that makes a project tick is having a working state software, the degree to which is not important, and being community oriented.


  • this is literally how we work now in construction. because everything is digital people think that this is an acceptable approach. all my costing files are purposefully extremely dynamic.

    you want to add another floor? no problem.

    you want to change some floors from 3 bedroom to 2 bedroom? no problem.

    you want to remove a parking floor and have outside parking? no problem. you don’t want to have low hanging beams? no problem.

    and so on and so on…

    i know i should not be working like this, but sometimes i have to.



  • the other day i asked my coworkers that “doesn’t that bother you that some of your apps are always listening to you?” they said “i’m not saying anything illegal and when i see a product that i was talking about, it’s almost like a reminder, otherwise i would forget all abou it”.

    i gave up.








  • i have been saying the same thing from the beginning, but i think your perspective of the situation is holding you back from understanding what im saying.

    you can put innocent people anywhere in the world and they dont stop being innocent. but that does not change the fact that they are in someone elses home illegally.

    if they did not want to be in someone elses home then it is the fault of the government, if they did want to be in someome elses home then it is their fault.
