It took far too long for me to do this, but I have started the Facebook account deletion process. The 30-day countdown is on. #enshitiffication
It seems #Microsoft is doing #enshitiffication on the hardware level. Now they are making it hard to remap #copilot key.

Interesting story. Many layers. #VR #enshitiffication by evil platforms, late stage capitalism, communities. https://archive.is/20260202111124/https://www.theverge.com/tech/871250/supernatural-meta-vr-fitness-community
@jeridansky the reason it was believable is that, at this point in the #enshitiffication stages, we have no doubt a big tech company could stoop this low to extract value.

I like the fact that in his latest piece, @Zitron zooms out to point out that the collective insanity of the AI bubble is not just an AI or tech thing, but a generally delusional pattern of behaviours in the stock market and those who are meant to analyse and report on it for investors, "line go up" being the pathological obsession that ignores any evidence to the contrary.

Ed Zitron's Where's Your Ed At
So far I'm at the "everything sucks" part of #enshitiffication and looking forward to the "and what to do about it" part, because god damn this is upsetting.

Oof, what a dick's move.

From today's announcement from Github:
"... On March 1, 2026, we are introducing a new $0.002 per-minute GitHub Actions cloud platform charge that will apply to self-hosted runner usage...."

Now, that's the sign to move out of Github Actions.

Call me a conspiracy theorist if you like but I'm convinced.

The last 2 decades have seen an increase in people using social media to protest, organise, collaborate, build community, kick against the machine, educate and inform. #Fascism can't have that!

#Enshitiffication with #AIslop was intentional. There has always been misinformation on t'net but most of us got quite good at spotting it and calling out the BS. Now the well is so poisoned. Academic and creative works are the worst hit.

Now they want us all to have digital I'Ds starting from a young age, so they can track and profile us. There will be no more safe spaces to protest, organise, collaborate, build community, kick against the machine, educate and inform.

The biggest threat to fascism is how we gather online, and they are taking that away from us one step at a time.

@pluralistic after buying one of your books on https://libro.fm/ I went to install their app on my android phone via the Google Store app. When you search for "libro fm" the first result is Audible. #enshitiffication
#ChatGPT blatantly used to write news stories. Also editors are not editing or proofreading anymore… #enshitiffication
