#stupid features

They had no luck searching for a new one yesterday, and we need one ASAP because America fucking requires these pieces of hurtling metal to make a living, my parent's each work two jobs... having one car isn't feasible for even a week, that's its own thing that pisses me off.

They found a car today. Used, in our budget.

Amazing thing is being in a (biological) fakily of 5, our previous 14 year old multiple crash surviving Honda could barely fit us all, it was hell being autistic and touch averse in that thing.

This one has an oh so holy ~third row of seats~ I am immensely grateful for that.

But my parents get home with the car, and I look inside... it's modern. Last 5 years modern.

I hate it. I know it's unavoidable these days, but holy shit this lightly used 2023-ish Kia is so fucking needlessly gadgety. Going from a 2012 Honda to this is heughhhghh I hate it.

There's no dials, at all. The entire dashboard is a fucking touchscreen, and it's connected, the entire front console of the car is like a big 3ft long curved screen what the fuck is this shit

It has an app, it has a motherfucking app, with a subscription service to use the app. My mom paid for 3 years of said service. Like at least it's hybrid, and we could afford it, and it's got actual space for the amount of people who use it but still. I'm just unsettled by this car and it's modern features.

I was watching an episode of Black Mirror last night and the fucking car looked just like this- that's not a good thing. I don't like that this car looks like and has 2/3 the features of the cars predicted in the notoriously almost-prophetic dystopian sci-fi show that is Black Mirror.

Also it's a modern American SUV classified as a light truck so it's got the capacity to squash a dozen unseen kindergarteners like bugs because it's so high off of the ground.

I hate the new thing the tumblr mobile app does where a notification drops down from the top of my screen every single time anyone interacts with my posts in any way. It is unnecessary and distracting to the point that it is actually creating a hostile user experience because of my ADHD.

When something moves at the top of my screen, I glance at it. Because it moved. In my field of view. And that makes reading posts and concentrating on what I'm typing very difficult.

@staff and @support, I am almost always disappointed in you guys, but putting in an awful and unnecessary feature like this with no way to disable it is possibly the most inconsiderate thing you've done since the whole porn ban fiasco.

Even if it wasn't hostile to me as a disabled person, the notification blocks the fucking post/reblog button when I'm trying to make a post and I have so far been unable to find a way to dismiss the pop-up other than just waiting for it to go away. For someone like me who gets a nearly constant stream of notes all day, this is making the app very frustratingly difficult to use for reblogging and posting, which is, as you may or may not be aware, the primary core activity on your app.

Remove this feature or add an option to disable it.

Sincerely,

The features no one asked for🙄

Repost features idk about this one

The fvcked up features like are the devs okay Location features that shows where you are PEOPLE TURN OFF YOUR LOCATIONS
