Es kann nicht mehr lange dauern, und die anderen Länder ziehen nach. Wer schonmal in den USA serielles Fernsehen sehen musste, weiß, dass die Amis einiges an Leidensfähigkeit mitbringen.

Die regen sich vermutlich erst dann auf, wenn der Erstgeborene bei Amazon versklavt werden muss.

This lunch I've continued my #degoogle journey. I have removed my digital display from service as the #enshittifcation from useful assistant to ignorant AI has meant it is no more than an unreliable timer. It couldn't give me a distance measurement by car to a destination either, just the time it would take on public transport. Not what I asked. Couldn't even keep a timer going. "Set Timer" "How long left? "No timer set". I will be flashing the firmware this weekend and converting it to a more useful touchscreen.
I'm hearing that #Discord has joined the #enshittifcation bandwagon..
Any ideas how to convince my friends who are heavy Discord users (I never could like it) but don't want to hear about the #Fediverse to join us?

Space Shit

Not content with potentially destroying near earth orbits with the number of satellites that have and are being launched, #Musk proposes to throw up to 1M sources of future debris up there - to support AI driven #enshittifcation. Arseholes like him love to bandy around terms such as ‘Kardashev II-level’ but are unconcerned about ‘Kessler syndrome’

Fortunes to the Bold who favor Dis-#enshittifcation:

"Ireland pulled off its tax-haven gambit by making influential people very rich, so that they would go to bat for Ireland. The Ireland for disenshittification will have the same chance.

"The new tech companies that unlock US Big Tech's trillions and turn them into their own billions...(remainder being shared by us, tech users, in the form of lower prices and better products) will be a powerful bloc..."

Pluralistic: The world needs an Ireland for disenshittification (17 Jan 2026) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow

"The digital rights movement has two powerful potential coalition partners in the fight to reclaim the right of people to change how their devices work, to claw back privacy and a fair deal from tech: investors and national security hawks."

Trump may be the beginning of the end for ‘enshittification’ – this is our chance to make tech good again

The US president is weaponising tech, but his tariffs and Brexit provide a surprising opportunity to gain back digital control of our lives, says science fiction author, activist and journalist Cory Doctorow

Returning a new Samsung TV because it autoplays Samsung Plus and you can't disable it.

#samsung #enshittifcation

Just setup a new Samsung TV

It's horrific

Slow, unresponsive, confusing UI

Automatically plays the Samsung channel and I can't make it stop

Shows ads!

Wants to track everything I do

This TV is for my elderly father in law - he may well not be able to use it at all.

"But I discovered that Github is now pushing it even more in that direction: a feed full of random projects and people I don’t care about, notifications to get me to 'discover' new projects and 'follow' new persons. They don’t even try to pretend to be a professional platform anymore. It’s a pure attention-grabbing personal data extorting social networks."
