   @uliwitness At this point, I would be surprised if there was a Dark Patterns Department at Microsoft.

     OMG Microsoft's ClipChamp is a horriffic piece of software:

     Cookie warning (= tracking code!) at startup. Forgets the name of your file so all exports are "ClipChamp Video ..." unless you re-type the name. Second startup asks you "what should we call you" (unskippable) and keeps damanding more info. On top of that abysmally slow startup because it logs into your Microsoft account.

     WTF MS I am trying to edit a local video file. This is all unnecessary! #microsoft #clipchamp #windows11 #tracking
