For me personally I think a big chunk of why FOSS alternatives seem “bad” is because you don’t know how to use them (yet). I spend decades of familiarising myself with all the horrendous fucking “quirks” and bad UX and other stuff of Adobe software and internalsing all that bullshit. When Inkscape had different “quirks” (= ways of doing things) of course it’s easy to dismiss it as “bad”.
And yes, some software that is mostly made by a bunch of volunteers for free can’t feature-compete with a multi-million company, surprise.
I think it would be more interesting to find out why Adobe software is still so abysmal after they’ve probably thrown hundreds of millions of dollars on it. I recently watched my brother work on a complex project with Premiere and it was almost non-functional, quite fascinating, actually.
I was a die-hard Android fan since I think froyo. But got tired of either having to find a device with an active custom ROM scene, or deal with my phone manufacturer abandoning my device’s updates after 18-24 months.
I had to get an iPad and MacBook for work and ended up replacing my Motorola Z4 with an iPhone 14 Pro last year. Other than 1 app I would like to give a custom notification, I have encountered no real issues.
I swear people’s brains disappear when they see a yellow light. “I’ll have to wait a full minute!? I better run this red light and risk a lifetime of pain and disability!”
Admittedly, the measures in place did not seem to work as intended. The light should have gone red before the truck had a chance to enter the intersection, and the sign should alert the driver that their truck is too large to go under the bridge. However, that doesn’t stop everyone: youtu.be/-VokezIMLKE
Save yourself the time. Outdated video from 8 mo ago with a bunch of weak arguments. It’s comparable to what one could expect from a middle school essay.
I don’t have to. You shared the video with nothing else. No call to action, no question(s), no concerns, nothing.
Why did you share this video? You thought this was a solid educational piece on FF didn’t you? That’s the only reason I can think of that fits requesting a counter. So no questions, no research, didn’t even browse the comments, just choked this video down and decided to pass it along. Hell you’re not the first person to run into and post this video, a quick search would show you multiple discussions on it.
