It is endlessly frustrating that companies have universally decided that they won't let people say "no" to stuff, ever. There are no longer options to reject stupid-ass new "features", only postponement until next time you open the app/website/program. They'll continue pestering you for the rest of your life. I realize that my frustration may be a little over-zealous, but we deal with these interfaces dozens of times per day and this is user hostile behavior. There isn't really an option to just use another service or program, since the entire technology landscape has been commandeered by a few major corporations, and they all enact the same shitty things as a group.

What app or tech is badgering you? I feel like with standard android and pop! OS I have zero complaints. Everything just works

THANK YOU. I'm glad others are noticing this and getting fed up with it.

No means no, damnit.

Why use that corpo crap to begin with.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because not everything has an open source alternative.

Especially when it comes to hardware

Heaps of stuff that's positioned as the "alternative of X" feels like garbo. For example when I'm forced to use Pinta editor / GIMP over Photoshop when I'm using Linux. I get the expectation can't be to have feature parity but some of these alternatives feel really poor

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Well, to be fair, Pinta is a clone of Paint.NET. It has never claimed to be an alternative to Photoshop.
