What is something you dislike but still begrudgingly use? (lemmy.ml)

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.

This analogy doesn't work because you cannot cleanly separate things in a burrito, whereas you can in Windows to some extent.

My burritos never reboot by surprise to force updates that break decisions I mad about what's in them.

How often does this even happen? In the past 3 years I've not met a single person who's had a Windows update trigger randomly or had Windows make breaking changes.

If you expect me to prove Microsoft's still doing what they've been infamous for doing for twenty straight years, the answer is no. Even if they magically stopped fucking people over this way - this doesn't justify your dismissal of someone's complaints about those stupid problems Microsoft created. It still happened to them, and they hated it, and you had to pipe up and say 'well what about the parts where it didn't fuck you.'

I'm not dismissing whether they ever happened. I'm questioning whether they still happen. I'm not going to hold a grudge against someone who stole an eraser from me in the 1st grade. I'm similarly not going to hold a grudge with Microsoft for one or two forced updates back when Windows 10 launched. If you wanted to talk about the issues with Windows Modern Standby or with Xbox's treatment of the Minecraft community, then fine. Those issues still don't ruin the other 90% of Windows, especially when considering the alternatives.

Neat, did you read past the first sentence?

[–] TheGalacticVoid@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did you read past my 2nd?

Yeah. And I answered them before you wrote them. You know damn well Microsoft constantly includes infuriating bullshit - whether or not it's the example I gave, dismissing your ridiculous hair-splitting. An example we have not established is even wrong. I just don't fucking care whether it's still a thing, because regardless, it's part of a pattern.

The root of this pointless bickering is that someone said there's parts of Windows they fucking despise, and you countered by saying Windows has many parts. Which is not a fucking counter.
