I really dislike the apple itunes software, despite how popular it is. It's one of the most invasive and clunky things ever, imo. But you're basically required to use it for an iphone, which is another reason it sucks.

I feel like this was true 10 years ago, so I guess not much has changed with it.

Yeah honestly I think I've used it twice in the last 5 years because I hate it so much lol

Windows 10. I try to use it for occasional gaming, but every time I boot the damn thing it downloads 1GB of "fixes" and I have to wait 30m to game properly. Then when framerates drop, I don't know if my updates triggered further updates or just what exactly is happening.

This control should not be taken away from users.

Have you checked your update log? There's probably something fucky going on if you keep downloading the same updates

I never checked the log, not a bad idea. I think the issue comes from only booting it every 3 months or so. But I need to pause updates sometimes or it breaks the whole experience.

only booting it every 3 months or so.

Yeah, that makes sense.

The worst stuff I've ever used has always been propriety software on stuff like smart tv's. It is almost always terrible and I assume usually designed by a blind person.

Reddit's redesign

I've used boost for reddit by reddit.com/u/rmayayo, it works great! But yeah, the redesign is trash
