  • I don’t want to discount trans issues but also I feel like engaging the republicans with anything more than a “why are you talking about this when people can’t afford anything you stupid fucks?” is a waste of time. Even if every trans person was as evil as they say they are there are far bigger problems to focus on. Like why do we need fucking legislation to dictate how trans people are medically treated or if they can play sports? Leave that to the doctors and sports organizations to determine. There should be protections against discrimination and if they’re not already included in those they should be, but other than that I can’t really think of anything that requires legislation. It pisses me off so much every time I hear one of those ads from these idiots.








  • Same, I’ve had better luck getting sellers to communicate and fix shit on eBay than Amazon. Amazon only ever offered refunds, eBay people tried to make it right first. Like when the cabinet I ordered arrived with the glass busted out they gave me a partial refund to just replace the glass (way more than the glass cost), so I didn’t have to fuck with sending it back. That was great. The other time I ordered some parts and they left out half they just refunded the whole order and let me keep them.








  • The easiest example that comes to mind without having it in front of me is the giant “recommended” section when you open the start menu or file explorer. It’s just bullshit I have to scroll past every time. It wouldn’t be as bad but someone decided having a indecipherable picture of whatever is in the document or a big word icon was somehow useful. And it shouldn’t be in the start menu at all, who’s opening documents from their start menu? The fact that these things made it to prod without someone testing it and being like “wait a minute, this sucks actually” is infuriating to me. They’re a billion dollar corporation, they can easily afford to test shit. Just about everything they turn out should be gold. The fact that they don’t is just rubbing their disdain for their users in our faces.

    The constant shoving OneDrive in my face is another issue. I don’t use it, I don’t need it, I have a backup of my data, I’m not going to set this up, I don’t need to be reminded in three weeks, just fuck off.





  • There’s a list but the main themes are the overall degradation in performance when they “upgraded” my PC from 10 to 11 and just how sloppy and half assed it seems to be. The obfuscated settings, the way it constantly seems to be putting itself in the way of whatever I’m trying to do, the spike of anger I get every time I open the start menu… Basically the overall experience just got worse by just about every measure.

    On the other hand they finally introduced tabs to file explorer and powershell a decade late so I guess there’s that… Even those are still worse than what 3rd party apps who don’t have billions to spend on development though.
