My opinions

Internet: internet is BLOATED! It's not uncommon to access a simple webpage that needlessly throws more than 4mb of data at your face. Most of the time there's no justification for the absurd ammount of scripts that webmasters shove in their pages nowadays, it turns webpages into heavy resource hogs that screw up privacy and usability (specially in older devices).

Internet also became more bland, boring, corporate, less original, less fun and centered around personal data collection. It used to be a symbol of a new horizon, a tool that would finally free people from mental shackles, a place of knowledge and creativity, but as time passed it became clear that human social problems are too tough and pervasive to be solved by a mere tool.

Bloat: everything seems to be BLOATED! Every piece of goddamn modern technology we use seems to be bloated.

When I say bloat I mean unnecessary complexity and unwise use of resources, not complexity by itself. Complexity is inevitable, but companies seems to be trying really hard to make things unnecessarily complex, less durable, less fixable, more resource intensive and more cumbersome.

Commodification of personal data: the worst monstrosity that has been vomited by corporations in the history of internet. It's bad for privacy, bad for human progress...it's bad for all of us.

Social media: the concept of social media by itself is not the issue, the main problems are:

The nail in the coffin for me was the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica data scandal. My only use for it now is to keep in touch with friends and family, which is why I unfortunately still keep an account in one of those platforms.

Bich tech social media is not here to help people connect to each other in any meaningful way, they are here to rewire your brain's reward system, make you addicted to their services, colonize your behaviour, destroy your mental health and reward political lunatism.

It was such a sad experience to see many digital creators abandoning their original websites and migrating en masse to social media platforms that destroyed their creative power. It's simply not fun to be on internet anymore (at least not in big tech social media internet).

Windows: became an unusable piece of garbage after the deprecation of windows 7, it wasn't extraordinary but was sane enough to use. I'm still amazed by how some people still stand this junk despite not using any windows-only software. Windows nowadays (versions 10 and 11) is just a spyware to collect personal data, show intrusive ads, try to convince you to use their shitty browser, slow your computer down with bloatware and overheat the processor so you can use it to roast a steak.

Some people say that if a digital product or service costs you no money then you are the product. Well, guess what, you have to pay for legal copies of Windows and still was transformed into a product by Microsoft, they put a digital leash on you and you paid for it.

Unless you are locked in Windows due to professional reasons you should get rid of it as fast as you can, and even if you're locked in you should migrate your stuff to another OS if possible or at least restrict it's presence on your life to the bare minimum.

Microsoft: one of the largest turd polishment tech companies in the world. The harder they try, the stinkier it gets. Microsoft have some kind of technological "reverse Midas touch" that turn good tech products into pieces of turd. Microsoft power lies solely in vendor lock-in, not in quality, lots of people still depends on their crapware to work and run their business software. Avoid it like the plague.

Google: "Don't be evil"...who the hell wants evil things nearby anyway? Any minimally reasonable person wants goodness around, right? RIGHT?! Well, it seems that google realized that the "don't be evil" code of conduct wasn't good for business like their shareholders expected, so they throwed it away and did massive ammounts of corporate turd polishment through algorithms, marketing, and UX design.

Google haven't innovated for a while, and they adopted the same strategy as Microsoft: acquire and destroy projects to sideline the competion. They killed so many of it's own projects that someone made a virtual cemetery to make a record of them all.

Nintendo: talented but overly litigious company that adamantly defend even breadcrumbs that fall from their table. They don't provide viable means to play old NES/SNES games but sue websites for distributing game ROMs that otherwise would be pretty much dead, that's so ridiculous that I don't even define it as greed, just plain pettiness.

Blizzard: this company was a symbol of inovation and good quality electronic entertainment with games like Diablo, Starcraft, Warcraft and WoW. It pains me to see the state of their stuff now. "Do you guys not have phones?" REALLY?!?!

Youtube: the decline of youtube quality (for both users and content creators) wasn't that surprising given the googlish mentality behind it.

Chaotic algorithms that make good channels lose viewers and subscribers, arbitrary community guidelines that encourages the creation of bland content, removal of the star rating system, ads that last more than 2 damn minutes, and the list goes on.

Android: a potentially sane OS that was butchered by data collection, bloatware and all the junk that manufacturers shove in it. The mobile operating system scenario is pretty grim and there's no good solution in the horizon.
