And this isn't useless, but I can't believe that to rent Photoshop for $20/mo, your creative projects are not your IP...

How is that even legal?
I don't think that's true.
They changed their TOS to give them a right to everything you make. https://9to5mac.com/2024/06/06/change-to-adobe-terms-amp-conditions/
Sorry but the same article links to an update that backtracks.
There's just no way this would ever pass without them losing all their business customers, any legality of such disclaimer aside.
I stand corrected. Still though, it shows that they at least wanted to have this happen, which breaks my trust in them.
They probably wanted to sell it as AI training data.
Yes, that's kind of the point. They wanted to steal every artist that uses their software's work, and then use it (or sell it) to train AI to put those artists out of work.
It feels like the epitome of "short term profits at the cost of long term gain". No one's going to be using your software if you put them out of work. But I guess when you're a monopoly the only direction to go is down.
All the free widgets that used to come preinstalled in Android before Google killed them to save the extra $2 of development cost from their yearly interns.
Windows
And that despite charging for it, they fill many versions of it with adverts, install without asking bloatware and crap paid for by other companies to shove down your throat, and also sells your personal information to (checks) at least 801 third parties.
Hey! Those 801 third parties are trusted third parties. All of them were properly vetted when they said they wouldn’t misuse our personal data.
Teams
I was legit baffled by how such a shit peace of software could become so ubiquitous – until I got to know SAP and realized that Teams isn't even in the bottom half of enterprise software quality.
A someone who has used and supported teams, WebEx Skype and crazy shit I don't even remember anymore, Teams is downright reliable and user friendly.
I thought SAP was shit until I worked with Microsoft Dynamics NAV, an ERP from alternate 1990s hell dimension. It has a built-in IDE that uses its own language called C/AL (syntactically similar to Pascal). The only source control is developers' ability to lock files they are working on. And the code editor is worse than notepad. Seriously, it does not allow to select or paste multiple lines, and in general, acts as if each line is it's own textbox. Forget about syntax highlighting or anything else other than black text on white background.
And, AFAIK, if your company needs to customize it, you are required to hire a "Microsoft-certified" NAV developer.
Allow me to regale you with a tale of Sun Identity Manager and XPRESS. A strange mangling of xml and pseudo javascript-esque pile of shit used for identity transformations for disparate systems.
On second thought, let's just not. I'd rather let that PTSD inducing memory slowly fade away, much like SunIDM did after Larry bought them to poach their customer base.

Oh, you're going to update without notifying me and then not restart?
You truly are the paramount of usefulness, Teams.
and then not restart?
I had Teams restart, twice, during an incredibly important meeting with the government, because it updated itself without my consent.

Sims freeplay. Haven’t used it for a long time but it sure asks for a LOT of money for a free game 😂
Paid calculator apps.
Not only are many of them paid - but they are subscription as well. Imagine paying a monthly fee for your goddamn calculator.
I have mixed feelings here. I legitimately paid ($1, once, a decade ago) for a calculator app and feel it was a great value (I still prefer it to this day). But then again the free version was fine too and the one-time payment was essentially a donation to the developer for a great app that unlocked... Themes...

Calculator emulators are the way. Wabbit for ti-84 and similar, and hp prime (official) for a full CAS.

The German Dreckstool website (meaning shit tool) hosts a hitlist of shitty tools/software. I don't think it's that popular, but the top/high-scored of the list may be indicative of some of the worst.
Outlook should be way higher. I cannot believe how in tarnation I cannot view the reply they gave me if I'm standing in my sent folder. I have to copy past the subject and searchthe mail again on my inbox. And the ficking alerts that don't trigger at friggin all WTF?

it's not an entire app but, discord profile decorations.
The fact it costs money isn't surprising, but the amount of money charged is hilarious.
17$ for some graphics that some look like they took about 20 minutes to make. Just to make your profile look different than everyone elses. Then the "discount" given for having nitro for it is even more laughable.
Whats equally insane is that people fall for it. I know some people that have easily spent 60$ on profile decorations. Spending equal or greater than the cost of discord nitro is insane to me, even if the decoration doesn't expire.
Also how discord dœs stickers . Like custom emojes , they're tied to discord servers , unless you have nitro then you can use them everywhere . Such BS system , shoulda done them how LINE dœs them : you only need to buy the sticker pack once then you use them anywhere , no shitty subscription needed !

I recently tried out an "LED banner" (called LED scroller in the google play store) app that lets you scroll text on your screen. Pretty cool, I would totally pay $5 or maybe even $10 for it. In the free version, I don't think I've ever seen that many ads in such a short period of time. The paid version was $15 PER WEEK. That's $780 per year. To scroll some text. It's the only app I've ever bothered to post a review for.

Not useless as such but a wallpaper app or something that expects you to pay £5.99 a month to use. Fuck all the way off with that

The “pro” versions of common social media apps that remove ads or give you a useless check mark.
I have been creating ad removal patches for 2 apps this week. Revanced is truly amazing
