@fuzztech OFC it is.

Why else do you think any business still uses #Windows at all?

@bortzmeyer tout a fait d’accord: #git et c’est ce j’utilise avec mes amis #geek - mais je parle d’endiguer la vague d’#enshittification provoquee par Google docs et autres produits toxiques…

In 30 dense minutes @pluralistic summarizes the causes our enshittified digital predicament and suggests some paths that could help escape the 21st Twillight Zone we got ourselves trapped in.

NB: ironically, the video has to be shared on the well known platforms, as there is basically no realistic alternative...

@OpenComputeDesign Personally I wished @mozilla_support / #Mozilla didn't self-sabotage #FirefoxOS.

And yes #Google's #Enshittification is making #Android as commercially offered as different from #AOSP as #GNU / #Darwin from #macOS:

@lauren I feel your #enshittification, Lauren. I got a legit email from the Equifax class action settlement today, with a link to go download my virtual debit card for payment. All links did go to Equifax so I proceeded. From their site I was sent to some scammy third party, went ahead with contact info thinking it might be $50 or something. After ordering a plastic card by USPS because I did not want to create an account and D/L their app, ended up with a card for $4.42 coming. Total joke.

Why on earth everything has to turn into utter BS?

In order to work my mobile phone's audio recorder insists needing permission/access to location, phoneapp and for scanning available local devices.

AI slop, to #enshittification, the #FT writing on the internet is adding to the mess hamishcampbell.com/from-unstop We need to remember the old one. Compost the current slop. Rebuild from the roots. Base it on native #4opens, community, and the culture that carried us before this #dotcons mess took over.

A labor contract is a voluntary one. Therefore, any corporation has every right to fire its employees at any time. But you should not be upset, because there is a lot of work for everyone on this planet. To think otherwise is an #enshittification of the human mind. #ai #capitalism #workers

You tired of big companies doing terrible things? I'm tired of small companies doing nothing to prevent themselves being bought out and ruined by big companies. Put your code under a non-commercial share-alike licence. Put in place a CLA that requires consent for ownership change.

VC vultures are actively looking to destroy anything that threatens to become popular or essential to the freedom of Internet users. Unless you're active in poisoning the bait, your save-the-world promises of user freedom are empty.

If you make games, put in the EULA that the game source and resources become public domain on buyout. Toot about it, make sure users know. Make the thing EA wants -- the userbase & brand -- unpalatable. Do it now, before you become big.

But billionaires create jobs, or something.

People handing in comments for my blog don't want to have their name/nick added because they fear negative consequences by #reddit administrators. 😲 🤦‍♂️
