This question was inspired by my hatred of Temporal Anti-Aliasing which, in many games nowadays, is poorly used as a performance bandaid. On lower resolutions it will smudge and blur the image and certain bad cases of TAA will cause visible ghosting.
Yet in spite of all this, certain games won’t let you turn it off or have hair/fur/foliage look like dogshit without it so sometimes I still use it.
It’s not just one thing. I can easily whip up a list:
- Cars - they strangle out the city and make our urban communities dystopias
- MS Office - I can mostly avoid it, but every time I have to use it, WTF?
- Java - the syntax is fine. It’s the whole universe of build/config/versioning tools that gets me
- Pure Capitalism - I’m ready to protest the hell out until we get some democratic socialism
- First Past the Post Voting - It just degrades into a two party lockdown
You don’t use capitalism.
;)
Capitalism uses you.
my body
- Cars, even if I use public transports and my bike as much as possible, I still have to use it sometimes
- Supermarkets, I try to buy things elsewhere but it’s not always possible…
I hate that there’s an app for everything, it’s like when everything wanted your fuckin email now they want an app plus your email and a phone number, I have having to download POS apps on my phone for simple things that can be done from a browser, like concert tickets.
Single use plastics 🤮
Capitalism
Cars
Human interaction.
YouTube. I wish they made better decisions about how to run the platform,.
money
Facebook because my family is on it.
Fuck 'em.
Someone’s gotta leave.
Otherwise you’re the family they stay on it for too.
Browsers. Firefox hasnt given me reason to doubt. Yet. And I find that odd. Still uses it. Because every other big browser have given me reasons.
Generally “free” stuff from big companies is giving me more and more the heebie-jeebies. Even if they have good reremovedtion. But there’s NO WAY I could ever pay for everything I use. Nor donate to every deserving person who has given their free time to create and publish FOSS.
Should look into the ladybug browser firefox while the only “decent” browser isn’t great nether and ladybug looks really promising
ladybug
Not ladybird?
…as in the one from the developers of SerenityOS.
It’ll still be a while before it’s reliable as a daily driver.
There are forks of firefox that do not require an hour reconfiguring for security. Like LibreWolf.
Similarly some decent forks from chromium, like brave or qutebrowser, depending on what you’re looking for.
And there’s still seamonkey, dillo, and others. … vimb, nyxt, luakit, surf, … I miss uzbl, it was the best.
Browsh even, if links2, lynx, w3m or eww are insufficient for your needs in non graphical environments.
Mozilla really pushes Pocket through Firefox. I’ve gone through the about:config to get rid of it. Pocket gives me doubts.

Socks. If I’m at home you’ll never see me wearing socks, not even if it’s -5°C out there. But got to use them while wearing shoes, I guess.
I hate socks and shoes. Something to do with being on the spectrum. I go barefoot, or wear thongs (flip flops) or crocs if I have to wear something. I pretty much only wear shoes/boots when mowing the lawn.
iPhone. I travel a lot and I had my bags lost three times. Well no more thanks to AirTags.
We don’t know where your bag is, come back tomorrow and try . I understand you overworked and underpaid but my bag right behind that wall. Oh look it was.
This is only thing reason why I keep using it. I am not going to be hater . For some people it is a great phone but gods on high the limits all over the place.
Here is app drawer. Great can I change Categories? Nope have fun if an app is wrong category. At least I can change what icon gets big? Nope.
The keyboard? Where is the bloody , or ? Button? On android I can have button that lets me pick any of those. But not here I have to go into an under keyboard. But you can have auto prediction on! Not once have it given me a question mark during this whole rant.
The spellcheck. This is probably me being dumb but god, how do I correct? It doesn’t seem to work if I click the word it doesn’t work if I use spacebar to guide it to end of a word. Only seems to work if I somehow managed to click at the end of the word.
The first party cable missing the basic thing pretty much every 3 party cable using to prevent the cable from breaking but no need to 3d print option for it.
The lockdown. Now this maybe obsidian but I will blame Apple. I love lockdown and I probably should not use it yada yada. But why can’t I just a bloody list of all apps and white lists what I want? No instead I have do a big song and dance with sync on obsidian for over 3 hour’s then just one day it works and shows up.
Google is rolling out their own find device network soon™ with third party trackers that are rechargeable. They’re pushing it through play services too so every android phone in the world will be in the network too, so it’s a much more global network if you are traveling off the beaten path.
Some people especially with older devices might not like the constant telemetry in the background…

Adobe “Creative Cloud” thanks to it’s monopoly in the design industry (though I am in the process of doing my first smaller client job with Inscape atm).
