BitPirateFinished our migration from #sonatype #nexus to #reposilite. The thing I regret the most? Not ditching this #enshitified piece of junk earlier.
🇺🇦🇪🇺 cweickhmannMore and more often simply deactivating JavaScript execution and/or refusing cookies gets you blocked by certain websites (looking at you Leroy, French hardware store). I mean, incompetence costs you customers. But you know *why* this is?
Right: Ad companies like Meta and Google and *drumroll* "AI" splotificators scraping the weg en masse.
Big Belgian Bopper 🔻🐸Each time I can write this:
‘I don't support US based apps anymore or brands/companies that are active on X/twitter or Meta platforms’
it gives joy that this small action may hopefully bring down some #enshitified or #fascist run corporations

What gets me is that there is a disconnect that is generally not seen in our current situation. AI companies know that generative AI only has limited real-world use (at the moment) but are forcing it into everything so that it becomes a dependent feature going forward. We keep talking about the AI bubble bursting. They know it's coming. With all the AI integration on a device level, we need to maintain products that haven't fully #enshitified and create alternatives to those that have

Christos Argyropoulos MD PhDI am afraid that Elon and Zuckerberg cooked themselves in when they allied with certain interest groups and #enshitified their product in the quest for ad money. #Facebook will start limiting links too for professional accounts trying to keep people on a platform that is dying from scamming, reels and AI slop. History of business is not going to be kind to those who destroyed global agoras for ephemeral gains.

mattlqxGarage doors, #enshitified with wireless. The home I bought has some 10 year old Liftmasters that work with #Ratgdo controllers. Even the fact that those workarounds are required for the utterly horrible MyQ devices was enough to swear me off of intentionally buying #Chamberlain products, but their need to continually make worse products takes it further. https://www.theverge.com/tech/839294/chamberlain-myq-garage-door-opener-update-blocks-aftermarket-controllers #smarthome
Carlos Cámara-Menoyo@ben just installed it in a server, and while it looks really promissing, I noticed an add promising an Amazon voucher for those willing to go pro.
Besides finding it so alien to (self-hosted) #FLOSS ethos, that mad me wonder if this is already #enshitified since inception.
Michael KohlmanIf anyone were to be curious about why social networks like Meta don't push harder to stop fraudulent posts and ads, well, it is because it generates about 1 out every 10 dollars earned:
The example I'm going to use for this today is Microsoft's recent transition of the Microsoft Photo App to the CoPilot, OneDrive, entagled mess that is now the "default" Image Viewing App in Windows 11 25H2.
Microsoft got a LOT of gripes about the app during WindowsInsider testing, but they want everyone on CoPilot and OneDrive, so it was pushed out anyway.
The "concession" to folks that hated the new app was to continue offering the older, faster, non- #enshitified app on the Microsoft Store.
