For #Valve to succeed, all they need to do is not #Enshittify and let their Competitors' #arrogance, #ignorance and blatant assholeism self-sabotage them!

- Like the [allegedly Chinese] Proverb says:

> Never interrupt your enemy when they're doing a mistake!

#Steam being a monopoly is bad.

- Espechally for #developers that get shafted with a 30% cut.

- But #Huawei would be worse, as they literally demand a 50% cut for #Gaming in "P.R." #China for their #AppGallery!

How Steam DESTROYS Piracy… By Doing Nothing

In its unwavering efforts to further #enshittify what remains of the free and open #internet, #google has kindly decided to bring back #AOL online! And this time you don't even need a #CDROM!

Those of you old enough to remember clueless relatives screaming for help to get on the *cough* "information superhighway" or even *shudder* Besenkammer-Boris' "Ich bin drin!" will be endlessly grateful.

For the youngsters, here's an illustration...

Ok, #enshittify as much as you want your #UI, #AppleMusic on #Tahoe, but could you still _please_ recognize the connected sound device without requiring zillion on/off clicks on sound icon sub-settings, and sometimes app restarts?

You. Have. One. Job.

"I went to the New York Times to glimpse at four headlines and was greeted with 422 network requests and 49 megabytes of data. It took two minutes before the page settled. And then you wonder why every sane tech person has an adblocker installed on systems of all their loved ones."

A look at modern news websites. How programmatic ad-tech, huge payloads and hostile architecture destroyed the reading experience.

70 years ago the GOP was "bad cop" and democrats "good cop". Both were working for oligarchs.

Since then the GOP went outright fascist as predicted by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy (I blogged at length about that a dozen years ago ala https://landley.net/notes-2013.html#22-02-2013 and https://landley.net/notes-2013.html#26-10-2013 ) but "restoring the old order" is attempting to de-#enshittify twitter instead of building mastodon.

Capitalism consumes like fire and grows like cancer. It CAN'T stop. Sustainability is its enemy.
