Globally:
Having to create accounts for everything.
And thus, having passwords, public keys, private keys, password managers, etc. etc.
Subscriptions for almost anything: "I don't want to subscribe to your service, I want to buy a product and never hear from you ever again"
Still WAY too much "white background" everywhere -> it hurts my eyes...how are we still having WHITE backgrounds???
Spending WAY too much time charging devices.
France and many places in Europe still NOT equipped with decent fast access to Internet
Mobile phones:
Spending time with people without having them or myself scrolling their phone is difficult to obtain
Planned obsolescence:Phones are full of proprietary/encrypted stuff on a hardware or a software level making them useless after some years...
We still don't have a fully Free (as in Free software) and viable operating system for mobile platforms -> which leads to a pile of Android versions...not even mentioning Apple.
The fact that phones are still nowadays closed-object that we do not control at all.
Job Market:
After more than 10 years of career, two master's degrees and a PhD being asked for a tech job whether I know how to code is annoying.
Biologists, Physicists, etc. hired as "computer people" and ensuring the recruitment of programmers
The creation of "DevOps" or "full stack developers" -> Being an actual admin sys, developper, network admin are separated things, with actual difference in skills and knowledge. Let everyone have their job, thinking you can have the perfect mix in one person is a myth.
Finally:
The fact that private software, private platforms win everytime:
TikTok, Facebook, Youtube, Discord, etc. -> all private, all preying on us.
