I just want to say that I’m really fucking tired of downloading apps. Want to park? Download an app. Want to see kids school band concert? Download this app for tickets! Want to talk to kids teacher? No more emails, download this app! Oh, and each school subject will have a different app! FUCK - ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

This is worse that “create an account to continue”

nametoolong.bsky.social•63 days ago

You usually have to create an account too

Closest thing to a Boomer complaint I have. I don't want a poorly crafted and maintained app for every small part of my life.

I feel like such a boomer complaining about it too! But my home screens are CROWDED, and I am tired and cannot tell which bright green app is for renting a scooter and which one is for speaking to the choir teacher and which one brings me groceries anymore

I don’t want to go through the trouble of making sure that the app I need to speak to my kiddos Spanish teacher isn’t also being given permission to start downloading all my videos and photos

I have three parking apps and seven taxi/ride share apps installed and I feel this so much

pdutta.net•62 days ago

Re parking apps — I do wish these people had usable websites. But also, iOS has this mini-app thing called “App Clips”, which were meant to be useful for parking type scenarios. Guess that never caught on?

TMA! Too Many Apps

leeryman.bsky.social•62 days ago

You know we had things called websites once in time.

medus4.com•62 days ago

Websites! Email!! Text messages! I don’t need text message and an email to say “your student has a new message on blah blah blah from their science teacher, tap here to download it from Google play, tap here to download it from Apple”

Tracking, gathering, exploiting and selling profiling information.

App overload. Even on my phone, I use the website whenever I can.

haxordan.bsky.social•62 days ago

Amen.

I've got three kids at three different schools. It's a goddamn library of different apps.

hamradiohef.bsky.social•63 days ago

No kidding. I feel your pain.

I mean, I wasn't actually expecting to get to register https://fuck.app after being inspired by this skeet, but I'm still slightly sad it was already taken

Just downloaded a fucking app for my Dyson air wrap 😂 why does my blowdryer have Bluetooth for this

How do people without smart phones get anything done?

And every app sends you daily push notifications you don't want, making sure that you can't unsubscribe from those vs any push notifications you DO want.

My kids PE teacher has an app. Wtf, like just email me if something goes wrong otherwise I already know how athletic my kid is

10,000% agree

The place I grab Amtrak took out the parking systems and now you pay by app or online, except that’s only if you’re parking less than 24 hours. If you park longer you go in and fill out a paper form every time… Apparently pay boxes were just too easy 😞

Me in the mobile app business:

My physical therapist gave my information to a 3rd party app so the app could track my home exercises. I had to talk to that company to get them to delete my damn info. Another medical provider lost their minds when I said I don't do Apps. They were unhappy they had to put in effort to handle me.

Too many people always criticize the Deep Web while absolutely not understanding what it actually is. Generally we seem to believe that technology will solve our problems. Although it might be used for beneficial things, a lot of technology will only make things worse. Honestly: we seem doomed

andrewnebus.bsky.social•63 days ago

Right

And there are many different apps to fuck

judgemegapolis.bsky.social•62 days ago

Has it somehow got worse?

nametoolong.bsky.social•63 days ago

The parking is especially annoying when you don't even live there.

Install an app, allow it half a dozen permissions, create an account, enter all my info on a tiny-ass onscreen keyboard just to park *ONE* time... fuck that!

My favorite is the app one school uses for parent/teacher comms that CONSTANTLY tries to upsell you to the paid version

avdi.codes•62 days ago

"would you like to know when the teacher read your message"? No I fucking would not, what an antisocial, micro-managing ability to offer to me as an "upgrade"
