Stallman was right.

Proprietary software users are the ones who feel the brunt, but even us freemen must sometime use these rotten blobs and online services.

Almost no one is unscathed.

CW: Detubifier - Replace Enshittified Services' URLs With Nonenshittified Front Ends.

First published on kaka.farm.

I am writing an Emacs package called detubifier.

It is dedicated to replacing the enshittified URLs of social media services, e.g. youtube or reddit, with their nonenshittified free software front ends, e.g. https://invidious.io/ or https://farside.link/.

I am not clear on the API and just adding functions, like a wrapper over browse-url, another function which changes URLs in the kill ring or a marked region. Just chucking her in the ute 🛻. There's heaps of space.

Also, I assume I am reinventing this particular sort of wheel, and it is coming out as a squircle. I shall reuse this joke in the future.

A friend wrote two crapsaccharine dystopia anecdotes:

I asked someone recently to download a file on their phone and I gave them a link to the file. They couldn't download the file because they kept pasting the link into their search engine application. I had told them to use their browser. Then later I asked them if they knew what an "application" is and they said "not really". I read online that a teacher in an elementary school handed out some textbooks to their new class of students, and the students were using their fingers to try to stretch the pictures bigger in their textbooks. I think in the future people won't be able to distinguish between technology and magic

That last remark reminds me too strongly of the Foundation by Isaac Asimov.
