Anyone else remember when new technology used to be fun and exciting instead of miserable?

Long gone are the days when I used be excited to read update notes for new features... Now I just hope they don't god damn force an update on me.

I went back to an old APK of Twitch and refuse to update to the current dumpster fire.

Twire is a great alternative though.

And it only connects to Twitch! :) (Plus betterttv or alternatives in case support for them are activated iirc)

is there a way to watch stuff without using a Twitch account with it? I've tried just skipping the login process, but search returns no results when I search for streamers or games.
