Th Esteemed Deed Commemorator

I'm so exhausted with "YES/MAYBE LATER" "YES/ASK ME TOMORROW"
NO. FUCKING NO. NEVER ASK ME AGAIN. I DO NOT CONSENT TO BEING ASKED THIS IN THE FUTURE! I WILL NOT UPGRADE MY MAC LAPTOP, IT'S VIRTUALLY DEAD ALREADY AND HAS NO ROOM. I DON'T WANT DISCORD NITRO! THE DAY I PAY FOR YOUTUBE WILL BE THE DAY I'VE GIVEN UP ON EVERYTHING I STAND FOR.

I really am NOT FUCKING KIDDING when I say that this ACTUALLY triggers my SA trauma to not be given the option to say no. It's so demeaning and insulting and it's actual labor to feel the disdain and anxiety from this stupid, leading bullshit.

tion.

*also included: "doesn't forget where you said it should install things" (cough adobe cough cough), and "is explicit about the telemetry it sends, when it sends it, and what it is all collecting".

i would be surprised if the EFF or FSF or similar group didn't have a similar list of standards that everyone has ignored for a decade though, probably with a confusingly idiomatic name like "free as in pretzels" that means fuckall to people [me] who are now searching for it.

Man, Photoshop should never talk to me. Most apps should not have any sound features.

and tutorials — especially tutorials for a feature I don't want, that it's only reading as "this is a first time user" because it autoinstalled a new version (and removed all my preferences, naturally), erasing the version I'd been using since 2022 — should only ever be autoplay/forced in a video game. Get that shit outta here.

God. I truly hate how Adobe does this. and they're one of the competent software companies! This is truly upsetting.
