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.

    • 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…

    It’s not just one thing. I can easily whip up a list:

    • Cars - they strangle out the city and make our urban communities dystopias
    • MS Office - I can mostly avoid it, but every time I have to use it, WTF?
    • Java - the syntax is fine. It’s the whole universe of build/config/versioning tools that gets me
    • Pure Capitalism - I’m ready to protest the hell out until we get some democratic socialism
    • First Past the Post Voting - It just degrades into a two party lockdown

    Browsers. Firefox hasnt given me reason to doubt. Yet. And I find that odd. Still uses it. Because every other big browser have given me reasons.

    Generally “free” stuff from big companies is giving me more and more the heebie-jeebies. Even if they have good reputation. But there’s NO WAY I could ever pay for everything I use. Nor donate to every deserving person who has given their free time to create and publish FOSS.
