Microserfs par Douglas Coupland, c'était mieux que #Microslop, mais les réseaux sociaux et l' #enshitification sont passés par là. D'une exactitude impressionnante. #livre
Having just read https://pluralistic.net/2026/03/12/normal-technology/ I hereby submit that @pluralistic 's next book -- a sequel of sorts to #Enshitification -- should be titled "Normal Assholes". Sub-title suggestions now being accepted!
Pluralistic: Three more AI psychoses (12 Mar 2026) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow

We see you, shittifiers.
This is the part which says if I buy your automobile, I cannot paint a stripe on it, drive it to a store you don’t own, or even add seat coverings.

But maybe a stronger analogy, because the software is addictive and extractive, would be to say I agree to have sex with this person and never use a condom.

First heard this principal from Cory Doctorow of EFF in the Ezra Klein interview last month.

15/x #Versicherungen sind also keine Versicherungen mehr, sondern #Klimaschutz ist eine Versicherung. Denn die Klimaschäden versichert einem auch keiner mehr.

In der Summe ist festzustellen: #Geld hat keinen Wert mehr. Denn alles, was heue über #Geld läuft, macht das Leben doch nur beschissener grad. Die #Enshitification ist das Zeugnis dafür, dass #Geld keinen Wert mehr hat. Nicht für den Kunden.

12/x Nehmen wir die Wohnung. Die vergammelt. Der Hausbesitzer (die Gesellschaft) lässt alles verrotten. Das Haus geht zunehmend kaputt. Jetzt wieder ein Brief: "Anpassung an den Mietspiegel". Wieder muss man mehr Geld zahlen. Für etwas, das zunehmend kaputt geht.

Mir kommt der Gedanke, dass das #Geld reziprok geworden ist. Je mehr etwas kostet, desto weniger ist es wert.

Die #Enshitification , das wird mir langsam klar, ist gerade dabei #Geld zu entwerten.

If you don't like #enshitification does that make you an #AntiCrapitalist ?

Case in point: the Duolingo subreddit used to be user run and very critical of the #enshitification and pivot-to-AI. Recently employees of Duolingo where made mods and critical posts died down.

in my 20s & maybe 30s, #NRMA was always a good bet to have cheap/est #insurance [car, house, contents]. then all the bonkersnarity of the demerger / mutualisation / corporatisation [have i just made up a word? mind is mush atm from hours juggling contents renewal quotes online] happened & they became routinely the most expensive by laughable margins, which had been so for about the last decade+ iirc. next bit of their #enshitification, since last year's renewals; their online quoter is no longer available without creating an account & logging in. all their competitors' quoters remain available. what the hell are they doing with their beeswax? 😮🤯🙄🤦‍♀️
I've watched this 3 times now and it's still cracking me up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4Upf_B9RLQ #enshitification

"Generative" AI is antithetical to FLOSS projects, of course, but if you are a dev who understands that, PLEASE let your users know!

I've been trying to find a open source, decentrialized messenger to use and recommend to people, but I'm struggling to find one that is explicit in it's condemnation of AI slop. It's something I especially need to be sure of in this case, because it's already hard enough to get people to move from Discord at all.
I can personally abandon a program if the devs start making bad decisions, but I can't encourage my friends to adopt a totally new communication platform, only to find that it's being enshittified as well after we all put in the effort to switch.
