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

    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.

    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.

    • 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…

      Parking, cart, entry, items, pay, receipt check, leave parking. You can’t simple stop by for an item, its impossible…

      Do you just fucking materialize in your local Aldi or something?

      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 reputation. 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.

        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.
