I hate that.

I recently bought a G-Shock watch, it can connect to your phone via Bluetooth, it was a selling point but may be convenient to sync the time with a quick connection.

First, the G-Shock app displayed a prompt that it won't work with animations turned off which is just baffling. I have them disabled in Android settings under accessibility options because I find them frivolous.

Then with the animations enabled the G-Shock app says that it's EOL since mid 2023, now CASIO WATCHES app is for everything.

Install CASIO WATCHES, doesn't complain about animations being disabled which is an improvement but then when I want to add a watch it says I need an account.

Two local devices connecting via Bluetooth need a goddamn online account! Uninstalled that shit immediately.

I don't regret the purchase, I like the watch and it works perfectly without any connection crap but boy is all this online nonsense annoying.

“Losers are always in the wrong.” sounds like "History is written by the victors." just from a different PoV.

Welcome to paypal.

I had to create a paypal account because an online shop used it as the only method for payment, first time I could pay without registering but the second time they forced the use of an account so I registered.

I still used my card to pay, I didn't add any funds to the paypal account or did any other transactions or anything else really but after some time they froze my account for violating ToS. No actual reason, nothing. And it's next to impossible to find any support contacts, just redirects to useless FAQs everwhere.

Oh how I dream of paypal going bankrupt. The world would be a better place.

What a load of BS. This is just a poor attempt at open-source-washing.

They rolled their own license but couldn't be bothered to read GitHub's ToS.

"collaborative" license, "opened to the community", "enabling the entire community to participate in its development", "global collaboration" but you have to grant them perpetual rights and waive your own, you're not even allowed to fork lol.

Seems like they're only looking for unpaid workers.
