npub17wkkj73azdfr23hmgd07fn0h39xvy0w72garahk5p8hg8jv8dx5s09uzqr (npub17wk…uzqr) oh god yes. The amount of times I complain about any given software and I get scores of people lining up to use this free piece of software developed by (no doubt respectable and dedicated) volunteers from their bedroom, with no means to sufficiently support or offer any kind of warranty for… but sure, it’s free.
And on the accessibility front it’s probably even worse, to most of these people accessibility is an inconvenience. I get it, accessibility it expensive, and expensive doesn’t get done with no budget… which is why the software recommended can’t possibly be suitable, so stop recommending it.
And the third category of the ‘learn how to use it crew’ - the free software can’t possibly be at fault for usability or standard operating conventions, RTFM.
But somehow, they think they’re coming out looking better for it, like they can somehow judge us for being pragmatic. I want solutions, not DIY - unless I ask for DIY.
The rest of them are generally cool though, and I donate to some great projects… so rough with the smooth I guess.
