“It’s very simple… I want control over my life and a fresh hope for humanity, but if you suggest I tolerate even the TINIEST quantum of inconvenience in the process I will complain and mock until I feel better for betraying all my professed values.

I mean sometimes it’s ‘let me suggest this foss alternative that doesn’t actually do what you need it to do’ and then getting mad that the user doesn’t want to use a program that doesn’t do what they need it to.
but this just seems like a made up scenario? Yeah sure it was true like a year ago, but at this point the alternatives are missing like one feature each…
I don’t know about you, but whenever I ask for recommendations on the Internet I always get at least some responses from people who didn’t bother to read my requirements and are just pushing their favorite regardless of how well it fits. That’s like a universal constant of the Internet.
