I live in remote places and complain about internet connectivity. Perpetual traveller, practically living out of a suitcase since 1999. Founder–engineer at Strangecode. I’m responsible for too many computers and too few humans. My exit strategy is Śīla→Samādhi→Prajñā.

This video was released by #Forbrukerrådet, the Norwegian #Consumer Council, a few days ago

It imagines the career trajectory of an "enshittificator"

It was hard for him to enshittify minor aspects of daily life in person, but became easy for him to do so at scale once he embraced the #Internet and #technology

It's genius #satire
