For the few creative apps I can't use elsewhere, I have a Mac, and this is where I will use them.
But I've had it with Microsoft like I have had it with a few companies. The entire operating system is turning into an advertisement, and I can't get any peace and quiet on this thing to think, write, and create. They shove another ad in every corner and every bit of blank space.
I get on a computer, and I am not allowed to think for myself.
Every blip, bleep, popup, reminder, notification, alarm, sales offer, and push notification stresses me more. After a while, it feels like being addicted to cable news. Every 5 minutes, the news breaks, and you rush to the television. I have to turn on music to distract me from all the other crap happening on this thing.
I am out of this hell.
I want my mind back.
I want my creative space.
I want my quiet.
It feels like trying to write a novel in a subway station on this thing. I get 10 minutes of quiet before a subway train rolls in, a loud crowd pushes by, and my flow is gone.
Sorry, I have to go. Another notification just popped up.
