Enshitification live:
In einem Zug führt eine Mitarbeiterin eine Ticketkontrolle durch. 2 niederländische Senioren finden ihre digitalen Tickets nicht. Nach mehreren Hinweisen der Mitarbeiterin, dass die gezeigten Tickets und Rechnungsbelege die Falschen sind, sucht sie die Tickets selbst und findet sie mit einem 'Tada!' auch.
Jetzt habe ich 2 Fragen:
Ist das für alle Beteiligten einfacher/besser?
Würde sie das bei allen machen?
The #Enshitification of #GitHub.
Join @Codeberg if you haven't done so yet.
How much enshitification will it take for open source projects to move off of GitHub?

@simonmic thanks. I can't follow folk on X having left years ago. I see the pta forum has several, but those are I expect a small fraction of hl users who are also using #LLMs such as Claud, while that's still an affordable (subsidised) service that hasn't begun #enshitification.
Anyone beginning to rely on these services, or on the models that their owners allow you to run locally, is setting themselves up to be captured and exploited as we have now seen happen many times.
