Conveniences, automation, safety plans, etc. Everyone loves winging it and having piles of chores, but then they complain about life being hard, but then they don't change anything

At some point our immediate world will become truly automated, able to sense what we need or want and provide it with very minimal setup and instruction

This will never happen for me because every single instance of 'user friendly' I can think of is the opposite of what I want. Yeah, I don't notice the things that work, but I notice a lot of counter intuitive automation that does the opposite of what I want it to do.

Not to mention that some days I want an app or process to function one way, but on other days I might want it to function the opposite way, depending on my needs. There is no mechanism for the app to guess which way I want it to function, if such a change is even possible without reconfiguring all the settings.

I have that my android phone ditched the ability to swipe up in three spots and replaced it with a single swipe up you have to hold to do what I could do with a quick swipe before. There is no reason they needed to remove a perfectly functional and simple option to add one. They kept the option to have three buttons at the bottom to take up acreen space, why not have three options?
