    Microsoft Sharepoint has a Wiki. The Wiki can not generate a table of content.

    There used to be apps in the iOS app store that were nothing but a big “I’m rich” symbol. They would be listed for some shit like $10,000 in the app store and all they did was,at best, have a button that played a sound to indicate that you were in fact rich lol.

    Paid calculator apps.

    Not only are many of them paid - but they are subscription as well. Imagine paying a monthly fee for your goddamn calculator.

    Not useless as such but a wallpaper app or something that expects you to pay £5.99 a month to use. Fuck all the way off with that

      Didn’t MKBHD launch some wallpaper app for $12 a month? I heard about it and just figured he was another tech YouTuber who lost touch

    There used to be an app that was a Dragon Ball Z scouter. You could point it at anything with a face and it would tell you a random power level. Apparently mine is 10,550 (I can barely lift a jug of milk).

            “Power levels” was/is a white supremacist dogwhistle for cryptofascists, as in “Don’t forget to hide your (white) power level.”

            You’d see it referenced on their meme communities on Reddit fairly frequently. At least it was when I still had an eye on what cryptofascists were doing, which I have to say is the best part of Lemmy, not constantly seeing cryptofascist things.

            With that app, and that in mind, there’s a (completely and mostly jokingly speculative) possibility that it was measuring albedo instead of just randomly assigning numbers. I’m mostly being a miserable cynic bringing it up without evidence tbh.

      I was legit baffled by how such a shit peace of software could become so ubiquitous – until I got to know SAP and realized that Teams isn’t even in the bottom half of enterprise software quality.

    90% of b2b software. They literally charge thousands of dollars while giving the worse piece of shit software you’ve ever used.

      Sometimes the value add is security, sometimes scaling or uptime. Enterprise considerations aren’t necessarily the same as for individual consumers.

      Sometimes it’s just a dogshit product though, and the sales team pulled the wool over some execs eyes.

    Spotify and apps like it. Imagine paying a subscription to a subpar selection of music when you could just download mp3s. Imagine having skipping a song being a privilege. Are you an abused kid? Is drinking water a privilege too? I paid once for BlackPlayer simply because it’s my favorite music player app. The most important features were free.

      Downvoted for hating on Spotify. That’s just sad.

      I don’t care what crap Spotify offers; it’s well known they go out of their way to avoid paying royalties to the artists. They’re a leech, nothing more, and I will never support them.

        I down voted them for the weird tirade about privilege and being an abused kid. Idk wtf that has to do with hating spotify, but lemmy would look much better without that garbage in the comments.

    For me, any office apps. Never worked in an office, never wanted to. None of that stuff. Even if it’s free, if it gets installed with the distro, it’s the first thing that gets tossed.

    Full price EA games with F2P-style microtransactions and ads

    And this isn’t useless, but I can’t believe that to rent Photoshop for $20/mo, your creative projects are not your IP…

        Same, it shows ads, but they’re pretty easy to block. I paid for it just to help support the dev, he seems pretty cool.

            If you’re really the dev, please add support for spoilers, it’s the only thing that makes me consider a different app. I’ve also been using Boost since Reddit, and I have a feeling spoiler tags worked there, but that was long ago and my memory is not that good.
