I believe this sentence summarizes why computing has gotten truly annoying in the last 20 years. My most recent bout of frustration: - bought an M1 mac mini to play with new apple chips - tried to install wireguard on it - the only sane way to do this is to install from the Apple store - not happy, but I tried to create an account on the Apple store without them knowing what size underwear I need - then they asked for my credit card So in summary: you need a credit card to run wireguard on an effing mac. I'd be happy to be proven wrong and know if there was a way to install OSS software on a bloody cupertino box without giving them the key to the kingdom, but even if that exists, the point still stands: the level of annoying and invasiveness of modern computing is simply astounding.
