Eventually, #Bluesky will run out of venture capital (since it continues to burn money) and then it will either go out of business or (more likely) become #enshittified.

I've been seeing a lot of videos and blog posts about the resurgence of #piracy in response to #enshittification . A common note is that its a _service_ problem, not a _product_ problem which is correct.

A company that has known this from the get-go and has never #enshittified is #Beatport - […]

LIBRARIES ARE BEING #ENSHITTIFIED: IT’S TIME TO CLOSE THE PROTECTION GAP!
#eBook licences vanish, pricing is excessive and arbitrary, and EU consumer law fails to protect libraries.
The EU's #DigitalFairnessAct must change that!

This post would be, what, 10x better if you had taken the time to give us a hiQ link about freemasons

cause, as you may know, Google is #enshittified so sometimes finding a hiQ reliable link is hard

Welcome to the exponential #enshittification of the already #enshittified gig economy.

Your new boss has some, ah, directives.

Oh look, they #enshittified #Disney, and now they're doing that bullshit thing that airlines do - schedule 5 flights, cancel 2

Honest #tech question, Google search is #enshittified:

Why does Windows still have 260-character file path limits? Is it an artifact from previous versions due to hardware limitations at the time? Backwards compatibility bs?
#AskFedi #technology #windows

What?! I’m upset

Look! #GoogleMaps (in coordination w/ #publictransit, in this case, the #lightrail) wants me to walk nearly 3/4 of a mile out of my way to the Roosevelt stop, rather than the one I could throw a rock and hit FROM HERE IN #UDISTRICT where I’m starting 😵‍💫

What #enshittified lunacy is this?!

I just can't repeat often enough how much better my life is now that I'm no longer on those #enshittified platforms...

I wanna be done with youtube so bad. #enshittified

Is #wordle broken for others as well? Has the #nytimes maybe #enshittified it somehow?

Weekly reminder what an incredibly #enshittified ecosystem #Adobe has become.

I need to download something from their "suite" to sign a document (no, not my choice...). Need to use my Windows VM because whatever, but to download I need to login. That login doesn't work, because apparently Adobe […]

Okay, #Plur1bus, but with ads:

Carol: Who else is immune?

Zosia: He puts the tingle back in single and he's ready to mingle, he's Mr. Diabate!

Carol: WHAT?

Zosia: Sorry, that was a paid result. So is this. Mr. Diabate, for all your needs. ALL your needs.

Carol: You've #enshittified... HUMANITY?

How the internet became enshittified – and how we might be able to deshittify it The internet offered a world of connection and cooperation. What we got was a world of ruthless monopolies and oligarchs.

Ex-#Microsoft employee and former #Windows #developer #DavePlummer (he's the guy that wrote #TaskManager in his spare-time that eventually made its way into Windows) uses #ChatGPT to #VibeCode a replacement for Windows #Notepad that has now become so #enshittified that it's unrecognizable. He […]

Looks like #Qualcomm just killed #Arduino with an #enshittified TOS

The cable TV industry is crossing a milestone: Only half of American households subscribe anymore. For years, cable TV execs said they saw no evidence of cord-cutting. Not anymore.

While Cable TV has been getting #enshittified on a regular basis, we see even more of that with many of the online streaming services, and while Cable monopolies have been regulated, streaming services aren't... www.businessinsider.com/cable-tv-hou...

Tech bros turned sleep into a "highest score game," with secret algorithms based on incomplete sensor data.

A perfect example of how tech #enshittified #sleep.

Formula 1 just #enshittified itself for all us fans here in the United States.

I am not subscribing to Apple TV. This hurts because F1 is an escape for me, but I cannot and will not pay #apple for the privilege.

Slide from a talk by Praba Pilar. The blurry background shows a hand over a face during a conversation with AI chatbot Tamalit. On the left are the following words, in bright orange: "hyperFECALreal, epistemic shit, industry excreta, pathogenic tech boy feces, rhetorical E. coli, cultural waste, caca overflow, repression, mental enteritis, rectal LLMs, cognitive shitstorms, artifecal logics, anal terror, necropolitics, shitty black swans, demon hauntings, political repression, clogged flows, enshittified fascist populists, vulnerable population transmission, inadequate waste disposal structure." On the right side, the following words in a light orange, with a line through it: "revulsion, reproduction & death, anguish, disgust, withdrawal."

Where we're at with #AI now, the #enshittified slop phase, with Peter Thiel rambling incoherently about his buddies the Anti-Christs, just more and more epistemic pathogenic #tech boy feces, #artifecalintelligence and #artifecallogics. From my latest talk on Desludging AI.

Against my better judgement, I updated the firmware on our LG smart TV today. Waiting to see exactly what’s become #enshittified.

Every update now on every device feels like a game of Russian roulette.

You have hit the epicenter issue - if you were not educated, know the correct spelling, you may have just accepted the #Enshittified AI answer. AI is absolutely not a substitute for education and knowledge.

#Enshittified

I'm sorry. I have been reliably informed that there should be two Ts in #Enshittified.

To understand our time, understand that our "elites" first #enshittified themselves in their midas-like pursuit of lucre & fame.
Great 🧵
