I'm with you in the spirit of hurting Autodesk, but the FOSS alternatives, while able to produce a similar product, simply use different metaphors and concepts then F360/Inventor/etc do.

It's not like the switch from WinRAR to 7-Zip, it's a long ordeal of the (possibly already overloaded) designer learning how to do everything over again. There is very little carry-over aside from general design knowledge; and it may take a very long time for that person to become productive in whatever they choose - which by that time their just-learned software package may be the new software package to hate.

All I mean to express is that it takes a lot more than a money investment. F360 only remains dominant because -- pardon the expression -- they have a lot of us by the balls in some way.

I'd love to break free, but those that pay for my design work will be hard-pressed to understand the sudden drop in productivity, the worse deliverables/renderings/the lessened compatibility with file types/the list goes on.

It feels like the competitors need to cover some ground before a reasonable expectation can be made for the people that have to pay the bills with it to move over.

Name three.
Isn’t circumventing/“cracking” DRM a crime in it’s own right in the US?

Friend, you've never heard of Chomsky. This isn't your field of expertise. Consider avoiding sweeping statements like that.

Because they're very, very wrong. US propaganda is like the water a fish swims in, so that they don't recognize what wetness is.
That's definitely worth it. But just to repeat myself, it is not a casual game and I recommend head phones, for the full experience.
Meaning you should not be on the call, when playing it.
It also has a decent fight mechanic but the main experience for me, was the mind trip.

(professional psychologist were strongly involved in the developement)
dropbox is a marvelous piece of software.

I have installed it once and forgot about its existence, it’s happily churning in the background without driving any kind of attention to itself.

none of those alternatives supports linux, and on mac google’s equivalent software didn’t exist for years and deprecated not one but two clients in that timeframe.

dropbox is an example to be followed, it’s software that just works and doesn’t assume that your lifestyle revolves around them.
This is excellent. We can definitely make a problem for this to solve!

Because I've never heard anyone talk about it, and I talk to a lot of recruiters, both internal and external.
