Since the title gives nothing away:
This is an extensive article by Ed Zitron on how the technology that you’re required to interact with every day has become explicitly user hostile. It’s a 42 minute read, but IMO worth reading at least the first section.
Ed Zitron also has an excellent podcast on the topic of tech companies being awful called “Better Offline”
That kind of sucks, but it should only be for a dev release

Thanks for bringing that up, I played the shit out of Blinx 2 back when and had all but forgotten it.
Incidentally my first thought reading your comment was “Prince of Persia: Sands of Time”

This article seems to have a bizarre assumption all the way through that the schools must use Microsoft 365.
Obviously Microsoft is failing morally and probably legally (what else is new), but the schools also have a moral and legal requirement to choose software which protects the rights of the children. Microsoft is sort of right in the way they surely didn’t mean; schools have the responsibility to not use Microsoft 365.
Props for finally doing it, but a modding API was promised more than 10 years ago!
Fully half of the sessions I’ve sat down to play It Takes Two (from the same studio) I’ve been straight up unable to play it, because the EA launcher has been too jank to actually launch games.
That’s gone now thank god, but I still haven’t finished It Takes Two solely because of EA bullshit.
