@fivetonsflax @SystemsAppr @ricci I do feel for Dr #Perlman ; I gave my hardback copy of "Interconnections" to a close personal friend. I narrowly missed meeting her due to commitments during my scholarship. #TRILL got done but it sure done got #enshittified in the process. Just ask Ivan #Pepelnjak ; He knows where the bodies are buried.

There are too many digital unliterate that were engulfed with the #enshittified internet and with it took for granted that #bigtech would just demand from you whatever it could get their greedy hands on.
It was normal to have total souverenity about your data, your privacy!, and you would grant, bit by bit, permission. It was normal to be anonymous, because, it is the world watching you, potentially.

Guys, can we please take back souverenity about our data?! #unplugtrump #unplugbigtech

@Doomstrike @NudelnAlDente
I’m at the edge of my tolerance for YouTube too, now. It’s definitely getting more and more #enshittified

I need help (first-world problem)! I want a robot lawn mower. I’ve read articles. They aren’t clear about one thing:

Does every robot lawn mower require a network connection to the company’s servers?

I would prefer to buy one that can’t be #Enshittified if the company goes under or just decides to “stop supporting” the equipment. Otherwise I’m just renting the equipment at their pleasure.

Thank you!!

@jwz Given the ridiculously stupid things happening in the world now, I had this sinking feeling that it would be for real. But after reading FloofyWolf's full post, I'm fairly certain it is satirical.

For me #Linux is the last bastion of computing freedom, now that MS and Apple appear to have become largely just #enshittified marketing/surveillance/fee-charging engines. I can certainly imagine a future where Linux (of all flavors) is under all-out assault from the tech-bros.

Eventually, #Bluesky will run out of venture capital (since it continues to burn money) and then it will either go out of business or (more likely) become #enshittified.

I've been seeing a lot of videos and blog posts about the resurgence of #piracy in response to #enshittification . A common note is that its a _service_ problem, not a _product_ problem which is correct.

A company that has known this from the get-go and has never #enshittified is #Beatport - they're like iTunes but specifically for #EDM (sorry #bonkwave #genrepolice) I bought my first #DRM -free #mp3 tracks from Beatport in 2004 and (with some exceptions) I can _still download them today_.

@notwhatwethink Really trying to get people off of these systems by adopting #ElementMatrix #fediverse #lemmy #pixelfed #startmail and such. WhatsApp is so embedded in this part of the world, it can be hard for people to download another app. Do it anyway. You do not ever have to use the #oligarch #enshittified version of the internet. We can all just stop going to the ai websites, apps and oligarch magapedo bro tech. I mean right? We can do better. #NOLIGARCHY #resist
