@baldur as an adjacent point, these situations are also good times to make small references to #FreeSoftware. Especially when the user is being frustrated by an #AntiFeature.

"It's annoying they didn't think about this use case"
"This tool is mainly useful, it's a shame we can't change this one thing"

Of course, when to do this is very context dependent. But, every so often, highlighting why software doesn't work the way *they* want can be a good springboard.

I love the charming feel of #FreeSoftwareGames. You can always tell how much of a labour of love these projects are.

(Usually) rustic graphics, lack of hand-holding, fast load times and sense of freedom really sets these games apart to commercial games.

The idea of developers coming together to create something purely fun, often with no practical use except to share and make others happy, really makes me smile.

@marcc out of interest, what was the name of the podcast? It sounds interesting 🙂

@pluralistic thank you for sharing this talk, and thank you @mako for giving it in the first place.

I find it one of the most articulate comparisons between #OpenSource and #FreeSoftware. It really articulately explains the intuitive difference in feeling between using open source and free software projects.
