Here's a little rant, written by a friend, that I think a lot here can relate to. "Well, it works for me."

Despite the name of the blog, it's not a political rant.

I've replaced a lot of timesinks (MMOs, News Doomscrolling, Social Media) with.

Gym + Diet
Market News
Shadowdark

Its been much much better, but sometimes I do get caught up in it a bit.

Had the same thought this AM. Will only due 3d6 psychic damage to me. I may as well dig in and prepare to work longer anyway.

It’s also a bloated mess these days. In the XP and even 7 days it wasn’t THAT hard to trim down on all the extra crud you didn’t need or want but they made it harder and harder with each new version.

Counterpoint: This has been said for every version of Windows since 3.1.

Every major Windows update makes some changes and some fixes. Historically, people hate the versions with the most innovation but love the ones that clean up a round or two after the bigger changes.

I've been in the game since DOS2.1 and Windows 2K was pretty much peak usability, in my opinion. I was messing with it since they started the corporate preview programme.
