I genuinely dislike how user hostile everything has become. I effectively have to become an expert in near everything and track all news on the off-change something major upends previous assumptions. And if I miss it somehow and complain about it, defenders will come out of the woodwork to defend, deflect or derail the conversation.

If there is any good news about this, it is that the fatigue seems to be hitting normal people. Buddy from work complained to me how he now is now forced to be a full blown wifi/internet admin so that his kids' restrictions/limits are appropriately enforced.

I am just venting, because I am not entirely certain what an appropriate solution here is.

Solution is more regulation, stronger consumer organizations, and privacy watchdogs with actual teeth.
