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

In this toilet-circling profit-driven world it's free/open source projects and 3D printing that give me hope and make my day.

A very cool new R package for communicating map distortion!

I'm coming to the realization that streaming subscriptions like Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, etc. are like gym subscriptions.

They want to be just interesting enough to have you register/pay while consuming as little as possible. I though before that it was about consuming low-cost content... but I think they don't make good content on their platforms easily findable part of the experience on purpose. It's their way of throttling.

Some thoughts on #booklending.

Slowly realizing that people don't return books anymore. However, as I've moved to Europe 16 years ago I'm a bit uncertain if it's a 'now', 'here/Europe', or 'both' thing. #confoundingvariables

Most likely, people no longer read, so my books just disappear on other people's shelves, unread.

A great article by Jarrett Walker discussing the benefits and justice of public transit, as well as the double standards regarding roads/cars.
