@littlesnitch Apple macOS has >100 processes constantly phoning home. I dont use iCloud, it tries to connect anyway. I monitor my own traffic and roughly 80% goes to apple (not in bytes, in connections). I use little snitch to block all of them and this helps. But Apple bypasses Little Snitch for various processes and servers to reach. So additionally, I block those in my DNS as well. And still, macOS works.
It sucks, it badly sucks. I use macOS since it was NextStep in the 90s. I do not want to use Linux, because it is the least user friendly ever, this is why it did not succeed on the desktop the last 20 years. But I now got a frame.work notebook and installed Linux. I am sick of this #enshittication from apple.

Ironically, this is an Instagram post bashing the Meta business model. But it describes exactly what they have become: algorithically driven speach, optimized for their own profit. And we are the products.

This is an ingenious way to talk about the issue of #enshittication - I hope #dkpol and the danish Forbrugerrådet is taking notice!

deSHITtify’s mission is to help Dutch/Europe-based individuals and small-to-medium-sized organizations break free from tech dominated by the US and its shitty deals, shitty-quality services and unbridled surveillance.

Enshittification på dansk

Hvad skal det hedde? Cory Doctorow udkommer med en bog om emnet til oktober, så vi skal finde et passende ord her til sommer og så køre med det inden journalisterne bare finder på lidt hurtige, tilfældige oversættelser eller giver op og snakker danglish.

Jeg har tidligere foreslået forlortning her.

Forlortning 💩

Tilbage i november 2022 introducerede forfatteren Cory Doctorow udtrykket enshittification i en blogartikel. Den beskrev hvordan Amazons monopol førte til en forrådnelse af virksomheden selv, så Amazon i dag præsenterer brugeren for en masse betalte søgeresultater, i stedet for de produkter vi leder efter. Siden er begrebet næsten eksploderet i

@signalapp having to use #DRM to protect their users' data from surveillance on Windows is proof that commercial intellectual property is given better protection than the #privacy of users.

I guess user privacy never created shareholder value, so why put any effort into blocking that information from being copied, shared and leaked? Where's the screenshot blackout feature for chat and e-mail?
