I'm fairly upset about OpenAI straight up acquiring Astral (uv, ruff, ty, etc).

I did not have that on my bingo card, I sort of expected the traditional introduction of commercial offerings for their pypi replacement that would enshittify until the community duplicated the stack entirely, like Docker.

That kind of sucks because they're the only real headway in terms of "fixing" the Python ecosystem.

Well, this is forking intolerable.

#Firefox is officially #enshittified.

It turned on the horrid "sponsored shortcuts" and "sponsored stories" without me asking.

Those stories are the last dadgum thing I ever want to see. I don't want more news about USFASH.

Smeg #Mozilla. I hope Google bumps them off the money-nipple and they crash and burn.

I'm going to try #WaterFox and #LibreWolf again.

Every time I see someone praising #clankers online, I think of this amazing quote from Tahani at the end of season one of #TheGoodPlace:

"Oh, that's enough out of you, robot lover!"

Dear Massimo,

Why the fork did you sell us out, brah?

Is it just me? Ever since Mike Masnick went all-in on Bluesky, I just have no desire whatsoever to read anything at (or from) Techdirt.

It's like, Bluesky is obviously in its "gateway drug" period, but you can already see the enshittification coming (and bits are here, with them welcoming fascism and silencing dissent), and Masnick still cheerleading for it being good and proper and wholesome and just what the 'net needs just fills me with rage.

He's supposed to have more sense than that.
