Microsoft windows constantly forcing me to download updates I don't want and installing shit I don't need

Fuck windows, XP was perfect, everything since had been unnecessary, I have a new hard drive sitting here and I'm installing Linux on it

Only ever had XP and Windows 7 on my own personal computers, shudder to think of using any of their other yokes.

The Windows 7 laptop - purchased in 2010 - still works, and I use it for ripping CDs. When it eventually dies I'll be all about Linux.

Linux is great once you get used to it. I have a Windows laptop at the minute but like ducky here once that dies I'll be all about the Linux as well

Cookie pop ups that don't give you a button to reject all and instead make you click into options can get fucked.

Youtube yet again. I came across a new thing last week where they are now pushing adds into live streams and the way its done is you will be in the middle of watching the stream without warning the stream will go silent, the screen will split, what you were watching is on the left of the screen with no sound and the advert will appear on the right with full audio. Very annoying.

I also came across an issue yesterday of being asked to sign into my account to watch a video the reason given was "we want to make sure you are not a bot to keep our community safe" when in reality they just wanted to harvest my data to sell it off to the highest bidder. Apparently this has been a thing since last year but I only came across it for the first time yesterday. The sooner Youtube dies and people move to somewhere else the better.

Thousand wipers. What's going on? Is it still coming out???

Clicking into something mildly interesting on Reddit and then having to spend the next several visits muting the mountain of shite that Reddit thinks you can't get enough of  :-X

Public toilets that have the toilet rolls inside a case and you can only pull out one sheet at a time, the thinnest possible fucking ply and it comes out wonky, so you have to unfurl it and double it up before adding at least another sheet and go through the same process again before you attempt to wipe once! Even typing that out was fucking annoying!

Third world shit!

False economy on their part. Like if my hairy hole + high fibre monolith shits are present with single ply bogroll to clean up, I'm gonna need a fuck-tonne of it.

Getting the flu at this time of year. Absolutely dosed with the fucker!

Speaking of YouTube, I can't believe I'm reminiscing of a time when I would be shown videos actually relating to what I searched and the suggested videos were related to what I was watching. You think that would be a basic expectation from YouTube. Now im watching Angelcorpse live videos while being suggested Mr.Beast videos and Korean's eating food and my search brings me completely unrelated suggested videos. They fucked that website.

The relentless nature of the workplace know it all. There's not a topic they can't correct you on, whether they're expert or not. Tiresome.

Surely that should be "know-it-all".  ;)
