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.
Planes/Airports… I travel for work and I hate them, uncomfortable, crowded, huge waste of time and lots of problems just waiting to pop out.
Google drive/docs. I haven’t found an actually good alternative (yet) so…
You won’t have the same look and feel but https://cryptpad.fr/ sometimes works for me. This or a nextcloud instance.
Cryptpad seems great otherwise, but I need something that has pages like docs do, and I’m not sure if it has pages. Thanks for the recommendation anyways!
Adobe “Creative Cloud” thanks to it’s monopoly in the design industry (though I am in the process of doing my first smaller client job with Inscape atm).
Affinity
yep affinity photo is great! 😃
There’s very few brands/companies that I hate with that much of a burning passion.
People talk about Windows being monopolistic and anti-competitive all day, but Adobe might just take the cake here.
They’re so unbelievably blatant about it, if they could spit in each and every one of their users’ faces, they would.
Button shirts.
The day on fully out as trans ill never touch a button shirt again. I wanna have all black blouses.
Almost anything Google. I have an Android because I hate the restrictions of iOS, but forcing me to sell my location to Google if I want to know where I am (even in an open source app because location is a system thing).
Ah man it’s depressing watching the fall of google. From my gmail beta account which was incredible to do no evil, google are great, theyre open, to so many cancelled projects replaced by similar ones(ehem chats and video chats) and so much bad behavior with their ads.
GrapheneOS! The catch is you need to buy a google pixel.
Look into custom ROMs, there’s a few degoogled privacy focused ROMs but support depends on ur mobile. You can also degoogle it yourself but can be quite time consuming.
If you don’t want that, you should look into microG. It replaces Google Play Services with an open source reimplementation, so apps that use it and stuff like location still work but without actually talking to Google. If an app uses Google Maps, it will instead use OpenStreetMap, for example. There’s a version of LineageOS, which ships without Google stuff and instead with microG and F-Droid as well.
MicroG is not exactly secure or privacy friendly if you continue using the same services.
Pootly my thing is a Google Pixe phone, as these now dont have a headphone jack anymore and are from Google, but for GrapheneOS
Secret Server (Thycotic/Delinea). What a crock of shite that is. I was trying to replace it but people at work who have more influence than I do actually like it. I guess they’ve never used a decent password manager. If we ever actually get to the point where we have to pay for it maybe they’ll change their mind.
Microsoft Office
Libre Office then?
WordPerfect?
LaTeX?
Markdown?
Rapidly becoming my preferred format for lab notes XD
Ideal solution for me is markdown, with math written in embedded LaTeX
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.
The internet
Facebook messenger for work
Sameeee
Windows
I like Windows, it’s MS that I hate and the bullshit they add to Windows.
Stockholm Syndrome…
I’ve always felt theres multiple sides to Microsoft. Theres devs making a damn good and simple product. Then comes the enterprise devs that over-engineer the product. Then theres the marketing coming in and try to buy up competition or bundle the product with other products to force it on people (MS way of advertising). And THEN the suits either ruin the product for money or shutting it down for not either making enough money or for not helping their enterprise products make money (like for example VSCode is a product that helps MS make money on Azure).
I hate to break it to you, but the stuff MS added to Windows comprises literally all of Windows.
Ehhh not really. On consumer devices yes, but when you start dealing with automated deployment and group policy and things like that, you can automate disabling telemetry services.
Now if you’re using something like azure or intune, you just have control of the spyware.

Windows 7 was a fantastic operating system.
Windows 7 was fourteen years ago.
Cars
Socks. If I’m at home you’ll never see me wearing socks, not even if it’s -5°C out there. But got to use them while wearing shoes, I guess.
Really? I’m the opposite. My feet are usually always freezing even if it’s warm outside! So I wear socks.
Not OP, I don’t hate socks but they actually make my feet cold indoor sometimes
I hate socks and shoes. Something to do with being on the spectrum. I go barefoot, or wear thongs (flip flops) or crocs if I have to wear something. I pretty much only wear shoes/boots when mowing the lawn.
Safety bars on my power rack. I hate when the bar goes low and clanks on it and I’m always hyper aware about hitting it. But I have a home gym and I don’t want to die doing anything less than a 3 plate bench.
Straps
Awesome didn’t realize those even existed. Gonna grab some today.
Google, YouTube, Gmail, chrome.
