W. T. FUCK.

And here I bitch about the bullshit UI/UX devs are doing to every piece of software I use (the usual office and file management stuff, on Windows, Linux and Android).

That's just insane. The stuff that specialized industries do to protect their profits sometimes is really effing galling. I've seen somewhat similar illogic in security and surveillance hardware. Wait, you designed it to work on a network, but you left the ethernet port off, it has to be physically added to each device? And if a device ever fails over to another path (another network port, serial, telephone, cell card) it will never retry the primary connection until we signal it too, and maybe have to go put hands on it? You know it's the 21st century, right?
