Youtube, twitter, and reddit have obviously been in the news a lot recently, but every day business applications also seem to just keep getting worse. Got new PCs at work which means version updates, and pretty much everything we use (autocad, adobe acrobat, and ms office, mainly) all seem to run much slower, despite the computers having substantially higher specs. Love that I can't use any old versions or alternatives because they refuse to grant me admin access.
I love capitalist innovation! Why make things better when you could just make them worse and charge more?
Every service needs an app and you can’t use their service without the app and the app was put together by an intern that was actively being sexually harassed by the CFO. And if a company has had an app that’s functioned for 5 years they’ll update it now every 8 months in a way that either breaks all functionality or puts in an awful redesign that has basically the same outcome

I'm still upset about this happening to the weatherunderground app years ago, it was perfect for my needs and then they fucked it all up for no reason.
But surely you don't need it to know which way the wind is blowing
I'm still mad Apple bought Dark Sky and apparently never integrated their tech because Apple Weather is dogshit
Spotify has gotten worse every six months for like 4 years. I hate it.
Part of the reason Foobar2k is my favorite audio player is that it hasn't changed significantly in the entire time i've used it
Don't fuck with perfection. I use foobar to transcode my FLACs to Vorbis so I can listen to them on my Rockboxed Fiio M3K
