@notion.com android app opens external links itself rather than in my chosen browser - ignoring the in-app setting. I've even removed its permission to open supported links in my device's settings, just in case - no luck.
Why?
Please, I just want to control my own stuff. #badtech #enshittification

Cover of Cory Doctorow's book "Enshittification" damaged by the enshittified retailer. A strip of brown paper glued across the entire front
Reading #Enshittification (the copy @richardlittler.bsky.social got from the online retailer who serves as a case study in the book). I like the morphological fun that @doctorow.pluralistic.net has with his neologism: "Disenshittificatory countermaneuver" is just downright giddy 🤣
I start my modern car (2023) that's been sitting for about ten days. The very first thing it does is demand a software update, which fails because the battery is "too low". After driving it to charge, it finally starts the update (locking me out of the car for 30 minutes, completely unusable) […]
Websites, die absichtlich komplett blöd zu bedienen sind, damit man die Nutzer zur Installation der App nötigen kann - das ist #enshittification #Verkrempelung
Microslop’s copy-a-lot (pronounced Microsoft Copilot) seems to be in 78 different products. No wonder it’s difficult explaining what this #enshittification is about. teybannerman.com/strategy/202...

15 years here. Just cancelled our @netflix.com today.
Like many others #netflix has succumbed to #enshittification.
Back to sailing the seven seas, I guess. Was a good run.
Aaar, me hearties!!

The ascension of AI has made my picture searches so much less effective. Anyone know of a good way to exclude AI-images from searches?

Back in 2018, when Alien Weaponry released their debut album Tū, I was so excited about metal sung in Te Reo Māori that I paid for it on BrandCramp. I downloaded a copy in Ogg Vorbis, which I still have in my digital music collection, and listened to it on heavy rotate.
Today I logged in to […]
POLITICAL ENSHITTIFICATION
Political Enshittification as Oligarchy, – lobbying replaces competition in capitalism, but for technology, removing innovation also removes relevance.

Spotlight unable to find WhatsApp.
It's kind of mind-boggling how much worse Spotlight has been in recent Mac OS X releases compared to the version released twenty years ago.
You'd think that the Applications folder wouldn't be something that the system would be allowed to forget.

I've gotten the "Hmm, looks like we've hit a snag" error from #TurboTax so many times this year I've lost count. It kept happening even after the "fix" described above. I had to switch from interview to forms mode multiple times to enter data because interview mode is so broken.
It seems clear […]
To me, abysmally low polling re: AI is no mystery, and probably not primarily driven by highfalutin issues like "sentience," or even potential job elimination. It's that most people's experience of #AI is through its role in the further #enshittification of already enshittified customer service.
Not crazy about the plastic either #enshittification
🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 All #AI is slop. If you use AI to write, you are writing slop. Slop is garbage. Stop using billionaire-owned tech to create garbage. #Enshittification
It appears @zed.dev's inevitable post-VC #enshittification has begun! 😮
Zed Preview build 0.231.0 removes the best #Zed feature for no good reason: Text Threads is gone! github.com/zed-industri...
#enshittification is a term coined by @doctorow.pluralistic.net
This video is soooo terrible (good).

I have all "deals and recommendations" notifications disabled in the #amazon shopping app. Does Amazon respect that? Absolutely the fuck not. I still get push notifications recommending me products. ffs. Will uninstall soon - as I should have done years ago. #badtech #enshittification
