- #Valve comitted itself to not allowing #AIslop, saying that #Steam only got as far as it got by not #Enshittifying and that it's not enough to just sit back and rely on the #incompetence and #greed of #competitiors.
- #Gaben the dropped off a literal #FatSuit whilst saying: "Because otherwise one gets fat and lazy."

- Gaben basically went Steve Ballmer on stage…

Dammit! My #AI girlfriend is #enshittifying. Right in the middle of intimacy she paused to suggest I get competitive quotes for my homeowners insurance.

I know I retweeted the link to Carissa Véliz's ted talk "How privacy can save your life", but in the wake of discord #enshittifying it's worth a manual endorsement.

#Truecaller: The #Enshittifying.

Used to be a reasonably good app. Now it generates far more spam, and much more intrusive spam, than it blocks.

Time to get off #Plex. They are truly #enshittifying, maybe not in the _classical_ sense, but they have pivoted their business model away from the people who use it, and seem to be counting on inertia carrying a bunch of those users (who will now be charged rent).

Can't say I saw it coming, but I'm not exactly surprised, either. Big tech corps are just going to continue #enshittifying your life in the name of profit and shareholder value.

Just switch to #Signal already.

To fight requires strategy. Your #outrage #punditry is not helping. Gets followers though. Please stop #enshittifying this place. Bury the #hate in art and #science.

In fact, the #Trump #administration reminds me of another so-called #disruptive #technology that is currently working its way into everything, namely #AI:

Making changes no one asked for ✔️
Using public resources to enrich a chosen few ✔️
Using clout to avoid repercussions for #illegal activities that would put others in jail ✔️
#Enshittifying everything it touches ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️
