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 within software development:

  • JS (I'm using TS everywhere now).
  • Php (old project I'm hoping we're getting rid of).
  • VB (old code was somewhy written in VB).
  • MySQL (feels like Oracle doesnt really care about its C# connectors).
  • SQL-queries directly in code (I'm pushing as hard as I can for any kind of ORM, but somehow my fellow devs doesnt find it as practical).

Postgres may be an option over MySQL.

Illustrator. It's industry standard for graphic design, but has the stability of a toddler on ice

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.

All my durable medical equipment like CPAP machine, DirecTV, and Walgreens for anything.

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).

A new Google Pixel phone as they have supported GrapheneOS. Super huge, ugly, everything Glass for no reason and no headphone jack...

To that, Bluetooth. I will have to use it with this phone, or suffer from iphone-like Dongles like a cringe applekid.

Windows, ArcGIS, MSOffice, Microsoft services everywhere, for University.

Google play services, Discord, and Snapchat.

macOS... I have to use it at work unfortunately. It's truly the worst interface. Plasma is the best, then Windows, then Cinnamon, then Gnome.

This house, my parents, the government, police, the council, the courts, corporate bought statutory regulations, surgeons, roads, cars, petrol, proprietary hardware and driver blobs, youtube (until tomorrow, when I start notubevember), systemd (from ubuntustudio I hijacked), portrait monitor arrangements and low vertical pixels, single monitor, ptsd/sad/sad/pda, iron supplements, calcium supplements, emf, and doubtless many more things.
But not tobacco. Thanks Allen Carr's easy way (& caryophyllene, cbd, psilocybe microdosing and iboga microdosing).
