It is endlessly frustrating that companies have universally decided that they won’t let people say “no” to stuff, ever. There are no longer options to reject stupid-ass new “features”, only postponement until next time you open the app/website/program. They’ll continue pestering you for the rest of your life. I realize that my frustration may be a little over-zealous, but we deal with these interfaces dozens of times per day and this is user hostile behavior. There isn’t really an option to just use another service or program, since the entire technology landscape has been commandeered by a few major corporations, and they all enact the same shitty things as a group.

    Because not everything has an open source alternative.

    Especially when it comes to hardware

      When I was just a lad looking for my true vocation
      My father said "Now son, this choice deserves deliberation
      Though you could be a doctor or perhaps a financier
      My boy, why not consider a more challenging career?"
