Most Windows users think that MS Office is the only software for word processing and spreadsheets. The new subscription model is causing major problems too. Microsoft makes users verify themselves at every turn, and frequently fails in the process.

Many users aren't familiar with looking for other solutions. They install what is presented to them, sometimes not knowing there are alternatives. Even if they knew that alternatives existed, they usually don't know how to tell legitimate software from malware. I deal with this on a daily basis.

Speaking of bloated slop ... Adobe Acrobat Reader. Just to quickly open and read a PDF file. Why does it need over 2 GB of hard disk space?

Evil software is software that does things the user doesn't want.

I think there needs to be a movement, similar to open source, but focused on software that is stable and efficient. Bells and whistles don't matter if the software crashes, can't be installed because of bloat, or so cluttered that using key features becomes impractical.

Back in the day, we used to open PDF files on computers that had less than 2 GB hard drives.

That's why I wrote that it's an unholy clique. It's not about permission or validation. We do what we do anyway. Even as a minority within a minority. But the fact that they make such a big fuss over their projects that eat up so much manpower and capital, should be mentioned at least once.

💯 agree with you

This will be a very different Nostr year. At least for me.
A lot of new concepts, less zaps.
Lots of innovation, little agreement. Whatever.
Who breaks free from their dopamine addiction wins.
