So many tech minded people, but at same time, so many of us fail to consider others POV and priorities.

JUST DON'T VISIT THAT WEBSITE! - sure bro, that means i won't be able to pay the bills this month because the only traditional way of doing this is visiting a physical kiosk at working hour. Did i mention that i gotta work?

Similar with messaging apps.

YOU NEED BETTER FRIENDS LOL - trust me I've tried. i also need to send my resume using this app to whoever interviewing me. no, no email. yes, i tried teling that. no, i won't be that guy preaching about software freedom when all i want is a fucking job.

Word.

This is something that is so simple to grasp yet zealots have so much trouble with. Migration can happen in phases and in parts — doesn't need to be all in one go. Have a site that you need for payment? Use ~~Chrome~~ Chromium for that one for now and Firefox for the rest. As things hopefully improve, you'll eventually be able to use Firefox for that site — or you'll be able to switch toa better payment processor. Need better friends? Go outside sometime, try striking cnoversations a few times, take it slowly! No one makes friends in one go. You have literally entire months to make progress.

Sesh, no one has to be a soldier...
