Not sure the reason for the second sentence is capture in the first
sentence.  I don't think people hate computers as much as they used to.
Windows back in the late 90s was far, far more unstable, and people HAD
to use computers.  Now they do everything on the phone, so can avoid
using a computer a lot of the time.

A lot of software is crappy though, at least by *my* expectations.  What
I think is hot garbage (like Discord), other people seem to like.
