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

    Amazon basically.

    Some things are near impossible to get in a reasonable time frame, or get shipped from China anyway if i get them at the source.

    Facebook. I never willingly go on it, but my friends all use it for events and shit. It’s funny hanging out with them and having someone mention things from a group chat I’ve never even touched. I absolutely refuse to install that fucking malware they call Messenger.

    Other than that, anything Google. Have to use it all for work.

      So many small businesses have a Facebook page and no website which is quite frustrating too. I just want to see your hours, why did I need to sign up to another website to do that?

    • 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…

      Java is being used so much that until legacy softwares are rewritten by rust or a different language it won’t be replaced.

        I really wish I could get out of using WhatsApp, but it’s all everyone ever uses.
        And there just isn’t any good enough argument you can use to convince the average user from doing otherwise. Unless it literally makes the phone explode in your hands, people will not change.

      They will fall, the enshittification has already begun with the integration of influencer-related groups.

    This house, my parents, the government, police, the council, the courts, corporate bought statutory regulations, surgeons, roads, cars, petrol, proprietary hardware and driver blobs, youtube (until tomorrow, when I start notubevember), systemd (from ubuntustudio I hijacked), portrait monitor arrangements and low vertical pixels, single monitor, ptsd/sad/sad/pda, iron supplements, calcium supplements, emf, and doubtless many more things.
    But not tobacco. Thanks Allen Carr’s easy way (& caryophyllene, cbd, psilocybe microdosing and iboga microdosing).

      There are alternatives. Proton mail is a good alternative if you just want an email service provider. As for windows, you might find a right distro for you but I dont want anyone to redpill on that. As for android, there isnt any great alternatives (ios is good only when you use apple ecosystem).

      What social medias are you disappointed in and which ones do you use begrudgingly

      On certain platforms such as reddit you can still access the site without a account

    Several things from Google.

    • Google Maps - none of the OSM-bases options are there yet. I need traffic conditions and good Android Auto support. At the same time I hate that Google Maps is so full of ads. When I search for “breakfast” and the top result is a sponsored result for Dunkin and the closest is 50 miles away…
    • YouTube - the content is there so it’s hard to go to an alternative.
    • Google Photos - my issue with this is really more tied to Gmail. If I stop paying for more Drive storage for my photos, I will stop receiving email because my account is full. But I did switch away from Gmail at least.

        No they didn’t. They offered unlimited free photo hosting for the Pixel 1. Which I still make use of. Later pixel generations got free unlimited uploads for 2 years.
