Windows. Android. Gmail. Expensive public transport.

Google Workspace. I have several clients who insist on using it for unknown reasons. It creates unprofessional looking work products. And in some cases, it is just plain kludgy (slicers randomly shoot themselves over the Sheet, page numbers randomly renumber when the footer is updated, etc). The part that gets me the most is that it is similar in price to other productivity suites, but often our clients opt to buy Zoom and Slack on top of that - basically doubling the price.

• Cars, even if I use public transports and my bike as much as possible, I still have to use it sometimes
• Supermarkets, I try to buy things elsewhere but it's not always possible...

Cars

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

Plastic

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.

My life

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).

Microsoft Office

my body

Reddit.... Google drive....

Passwords.

I prefer password-less logins with a hardware key but only a few online services offer it.

Planes/Airports... I travel for work and I hate them, uncomfortable, crowded, huge waste of time and lots of problems just waiting to pop out.

A government

Android

Whatsapp and google classroom

Centrally controlled undemocratic fiat. ... Usury.

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.
