this is a whole other rant that's been brewing but it's more and more obvious to me that companies are not interested in making good software. they want to make complicated software they can charge you more for. they don't care if it's good. they care if they can charge you more
just let me buy groceries in peace. why do all companies seem to hate their users so much? why do they have to keep making software so bad?

i think it's important that if you're angry when talking to customer service, that the rep knows your anger is not directed at them personally. for example, it's not the rep's fault amazon is shoving this stupid rufus ai bullshit down my throat but they're gonna hear about it
like, this is just the dumbest fucking shit

The cognitive & emotional toll from staying in contact with abusive family can be both significant and difficult to recognize.
There's a kind of social contract that abusive parents have violated. You owe them nothing. Nothing.
Christmas–or any other holiday–doesn't change that.

Every trans person--including every trans child--deserves the chance to be fully themselves. I'm so sick of seeing trans folks harmed repeatedly and unrelentingly, against all reason and scientific precedent. To my trans friends--I'm so sorry the world keeps trying to dim your light.

i think signing your user out of your apple tv app, making them use a url like id.nfl.com/account/acti... to sign in, making them sign in with username and password, making them confirm a code sent to their email, is kinda hostile to your user
