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.
your mother /s. The google productive suite is something I have to use, but I do not like it. I’ve cordoned it off to a separate Firefox profile with no personal stuff on it, but still.
Thanks for making this joke.

Credit cards
Just a slimy middleman taking a cut of every transaction and trapping people in debt. But a bit of a tragedy of the commons because merchants raise prices to accommodate CC fees and the rewards are hard to pass up.
Credit cards also incentivizes more spending than other forms of payment, so the merchants that are lobbying for legislation want to have their cake and eat it too. In fact, retailers did not lower prices after the Durbin Amendment capped debit card fees. Also, you’re kinda ignoring the insane amount of protections that credit cards have that debit cards and cash don’t, and those come at a cost. If we’re talking about mom and pop shops, sure they’re evil. But for a lot of consumers, they’re just another tool that they shouldn’t be guilty for using effectively.

Google, YouTube, Gmail, chrome.
Duck Duck Go, Grayjay, Protonmail, Firefox.
Nebula is great too!

Google.
Reddit - I don’t post there any more, but sometimes I still end up there looking for answers and information.
BUT most of all:
LinkedIn - This platform is built to benefit companies, employers and managers, not the masses of people scrambling to use it to get noticed and build their careers. There are so many things that bug me about LinkedIn, but ONE is definitely that I have no real options NOT to use it (without suffering terrible economic penalties if I you know, don’t want to give them my data). I get resentful and anxious every time I look at it.
I deleted my account the first time they were hacked. So much fluff and fake networking. Any employer that relies on that shit is a place I don’t want to be.
If you work in IT, LinkedIn is just another spam source.
*grudgingly
Okay, maybe that actually counts. I don’t use the word in this context, but others do and I grudgingly read it.
Wrong
Your logical argumentation is compelling.
My country’s healthcare system
Linux for a multitude of reasons (tinkering being an example, that includes shit like mint), cause I HATE windows and Microsoft so so much more
Where do you have to tinker in Mint?
Tinker = fix shit that should have worked from the start
Can you tell me where you have to tinker in Mint? I want to know if I can still recommend it to noobs
Since this is the internet i apparently have to disclaim that this is, in fact, just my opinion and my experiences:
I wouldn’t recommend Linux anymore to noobs at all the moment you wanna install more than a browser
Proton is a piece of shit that barely makes the games run it’s advertised for (protondb is not your friend, games rated gold and above are a crapshoot if they work and advise worked once, maybe twice), don’t trust lutris either,same shit in yellow
Timeshift, messed up my whole system and needed to he installed again
It can straight up refuse to boot past the splashscreen if it doesn’t like any USB connected appliance
Those are the highlights
Thanks for sharing your experiences
A new Google Pixel phone as they have supported GrapheneOS. Super huge, ugly, everything Glass for no reason and no headphone jack…
To that, Bluetooth. I will have to use it with this phone, or suffer from iphone-like Dongles like a cringe applekid.
Windows, ArcGIS, MSOffice, Microsoft services everywhere, for University.

My motorcycle.
It was bought due to a necessity.
I didn’t quite get the motorcycle I was looking for, and had to settle for this one from a different manufacturer. During the short test ride the problems were not glaring, it was when I rode it for a somewhat long duration that I came to know how bad it was. What’s worse is things changed and my necessity to need a personal mode of transport was eliminated, so I barely need to use it daily anymore. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Tried getting a few modifications done to make it a more comfortable ride, and while it’s better than stock now it’s still not where I need it to be.
Almost everything in society.
YouTube, Amazon, Comcast Internet, and my employer. In fact, all employers.
