I hate that our expectations have been lowered.
2016: "oh, that app crashed?? Pick a different one!"
2026: "oh, that app crashed again? They all crash, just start it again and cross your toes."
I’m starting to develop a conspiracy theory that MS is trying to make the desktop experience so terrible that everyone switches to mobile devices, such that they can be more easily spied on.
That would be incredibly ironic given that they completely fucking gave up on mobile devices when the iPhone came out.
