I find the tiny amount of jank comforting
It's like a subtle reminder that you aren't being exploited by a big corporation.
But, this seems to imply that there is no jank in software made by big corporation.
Corporate jank has a different flavour to open-source jank.
Corporate jank is like *Download the adobe download update manager in order to download updates for your adobe update manager now free of charge! Just don't forget to activate your adobe download update manager activation license in the adobe activation license activator software"
Open-source jank is like Yeah, it's broken unless you install this specific package or there are three and a half different states that the "brush" tool can have, and the "half" is what you want most of the time or these 5000 lines of logs are not important and can be ignored, except once in a blue moon where a really important critical notice is hidden somewhere in the middle or why are you using the official installer, nobody uses the official installer! Just get it from your package manager!
