    Oh my gosh I just figured it out.

    Okay, all you open source evangelist people: your knee-jerk reaction to come at people who are talking about a problem with whatever commercial software they use and suggest Your Favorite Alternatives™ is exactly like saying "why don't you just buy a house?" to someone complaining about their landlord.

      Actually, to borrow from @DoubleA, it's worse than that.

      It's like talking to someone who is in a crappy apartment as though they have the agency and skills to stake out a plot of land and build their own home.

      You have to be at peace with the fact that some people just want to exist and not worry about so many things. And they still have a right to complain about their situation.

      @TechConnectify @DoubleA On the one hand, kind of yes, but also on the other, it very much isn't? Land is very often scarce, fenced off, and violently defended from such use, never mind that resources in general are scarce in a way that knowledge, skills, and digital data isn't.

      There's labour and resource shortages involved, yes, absolutely, but FOSS is free in terms of money, and not necessarily harder or more cumbersome to use than proprietary alternatives, just less marketed.

      @TechConnectify @DoubleA @neclimdul If we're going to use the house comparison, it's like saying that we're obliged to give the plans to the person we're selling the house to, so that they can easily modify it, or rebuild it for someone else.

      (I admit I don't see how you can make the same comparison for a rental, though…)

      @neclimdul @DoubleA it's not actually free though. You are either using a bunch of people's labor without paying them anything, which okay. Sit with that for a bit.

      Or you're going to contribute to the project yourself in which case you are paying with your skills and time.

      I don't know what exactly it is with the free and open source software movement, but there's a lot of self-sufficiency mindset that honestly seems to go against society.

      @TechConnectify @neclimdul @DoubleA And free software don’t even mean you don’t have to pay for it. It’s certainly rare, but you can sell a free software. And it can be the only way to get it (but you have to give the sources with the binary files to the buyer).

      @TechConnectify @DoubleA I get that but I disagree.

      Someone else point out "but the house is free" tongue in cheek but they're right.

      One one had you've paying for for software, and getting a terrible experience for the benefit of using the same thing every one else is.

      On the other, you've got _free_ software, also has mixed experiences, but isn't used by the majority of people but generally has a lot of documentation and discussion online.

      @thomasfuchs I've noticed, and started doing the same. It does help, or at least it did that one time

      @thomasfuchs and to be honest, I think my presence here results in a lot of clashes. I really like to learn how things work, but my nuts and bolts level of understanding with software is quite poor. That's why I never touch on computers in my videos, I actively kind of hate them.

      Me simply being here is another signal to the contrary, so expectations are misaligned a lot.

      @TechConnectify @neclimdul @DoubleA i would add that often times it’s not as free as I would like in the sense of “you still need to invest a lot of time to set this up”. There are many barriers to non-programmers that are left in place which would be no-gos in payed software. E.g. “you can compile it with this terminal command” is not accessible to most users.
