Seems like many companies product quality has plummeted over the last few years. For example, Google (despite its flaws), used to have good products and services. Now they are virtually unusable.

My doctor sent me forms to my Gmail and I never got them. I looked it up and apparently Gmail has the document provider blocked so you literally cannot get medical forms. Stuff like this happens all the time now! Their search engine is nothing but sponsored ads now.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. I just think it’s funny that capitalism ends up making much much worse products over time.

    The fucking Google suite. I just can’t. Everything is poorly thought, lacks so much features and has debilitating bugs. Libre Office is indefinitely better. Also the bare Windows OS became more and more rigid and anti-user. I briefly thought it became as shit as Mac OS, until I touched a Mac and realized they are even more unusable

      I had heard from people my whole life that Macs were great. I ended up buying a MacBook. I’ve had it for almost 2 years and I still hate the OS. It’s literally not user friendly in any way, and Apple fanatics will insist that it is.

        Right?? They built a reputation of “intuitive” design, but doing anything other than double clicking on your desktop is totally counterintuitive. From installing apps to checking how much space you still have, if you want to be using your computer it’s never easy or logical

          If you’re still looking for a decent OS that actually makes the Computer yours, I suggest a GNU/Linux distro.

          Linux Mint for example is a great “just works” distro that comes with a familiar user interface. Also there are no ads anywhere, everything is open source and you can customize basically everything.

          Usually I would also suggest Ubuntu, but the people behind that distro are corporate shits. It once was really nice but now it’s a pain in the butt. Canonical is the Micro$oft of the Linux world.
