When I was in school we had computers without any of this "school" software. They worked fine. That entire industry is a dead weight loss.

Every work day I have to login to Personio. It is 15 clicks, because it has email and password and otp on separate pages and somehow defeats the password manager required by my employer (who also choose Personio).

Also, Tailscale silently starts failing to connect during the day, invariably in the middle of debugging something, so I have to debug Tailscale instead.

Everything is stupid and broken and I'm counting the days until I retire, buy a goat, and walk until my phone loses signal.

There you go.

I find it harder and harder to make good use of tablets. Is it just me?

It’s like, they are right in the middle of the tech gadget spectrum, and they want to be a bit of everything but are not really good at anything.

PCs, laptops, smartphones, even smartwatches all have the right form factor for what their use is. Tablets? Meh.

This example shows that capitalism is great for innovation but it can suck for creating a streamlined UX.

Big Tech eventually enshittifies everything; it has to for the financial scaling economics to work out.
