What is something you dislike but still begrudgingly use?
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.
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.

strongly relatable. i hope one day you’ll get to the point that you can wear it and pull it off and still look femme and it’ll be great. that’s what I’m hoping for
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
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.
Starlink, mostly because of Musk being Musk, but also because the replacement schedule of the satellites is against what I would prefer for a more sustainable service. Yeah I am well aware of why they replace them that often but I would rather they didn’t.
I only use the service as I travel in a RV a lot, 4g/5g just cannot compete for high speed internet in the middle of nowhere or even the middle of somewhere, and that’s with a proper roof mounted and powerful external aerial. Cost vs. Other mobile satellite services starlink is just massively cheaper for large amounts of data. It seems expensive compared to 4g or 5g but it really isn’t when compared to satellite services.
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.
