As one of the creators of TiVo, I was happy to see this from @pluralistic today:
"Remember Tivo? The first digital "personal video recorders" were true successors to the VCR. They could record any broadcast or cable program, store it forever and fast forward through the ads. They were all "feature" and nary an "anti-feature" in sight."

def con 32 – disenshittify or die! how hackers can seize the means of computation – cory doctorow [2024]
The enshittification of the internet wasn’t inevitable. The old, good internet gave way to the enshitternet because we let our bosses enshittify it. We took away the constraints of competition, regulation, interop and tech worker power, and so when our bosses yanked on the big enshittification lever in the c-suite, it started to budge further and further, toward total enshittification. A new, good internet is possible – and necessary – and it needs you.
; Cory Doctorow explains the lifecycle of platform enshittification, detailing how companies move from benefiting users to exploiting them. The talk examines the mechanisms of algorithmic twiddling and how these digital systems lock in users while reducing service utility ;

Here's my #Disenshittification journey so far:

Instagram > PixelFed
Spotify > SoundCloud
Amazon Prime > host giveaway events, thrift, shop at fam owned
Diff browsers > Waterfox
G Maps > OrganicMaps
Gmail > Proton
Google Cloud > Local harddriveI deleted a lot of digital stuff, files etc. Installing the Material file manager on my Xiaomi/Android phone was a BIG upgrade there.
Tried to get Fdroid or Aurora, but they don't show in my Google Play..?

Davvero interessante l'intervento che Cory Doctorow ha tenuto il 28 gennaio al 2026 Digital Government Leaders Summit a Ottawa. Presenta una strategia, politica ed economica per il Canada, ma non solo, per liberarsi dal dominio delle #BigTech USA.
Qui il video: https://archive.org/details/disenshittification-nation
e qui la trascrizione: https://pluralistic.net/2026/01/29/post-american-canada/#ottawaE la traduzione di un breve estratto dall'apertura del suo intervento.
"Quindi oggi non ho suggerimenti da darvi su come perdere miliardi di dollari. Non ho idee su come distruggere il maggior numero possibile di posti di lavoro canadesi, né su come rendere il Canada più dipendente dai giganti tecnologici statunitensi.
No, tutto quello che ho da offrirvi oggi è un piano per far guadagnare al Canada decine di miliardi di dollari, offrendo prodotti e servizi che la gente vuole e per cui è disposta a pagare, garantendo al contempo la resilienza e la sovranità digitale del Paese, vincendo la guerra commerciale, liberando il popolo americano e lanciando il nostro settore tecnologico in un'orbita stabile per i prossimi decenni."

This week in #disenshittification :
Finally cut the Gmail cord and moved to #fastmailTook a few hours of futzing with DNS settings at my registrar, getting to know #thunderbird , and figuring out what to use for calendar because unlike on the dektop #Thunderbird doesn't include the calendar on #android .
Eventually landed on #Etar synced to #fastmail via #DAVx .Setup was quite smooth. Really the biggest time sink was in deciding what to use.
This was one of the big steps towards liberating myself from Google's clutches. I'm very glad it's done.

So on today's #MastodonMonday to-do list:
1. Start planning the #disenshittification move to self hosting and further reduction in US-based tech.
2. Move what little I have invested / in my pension to non-US funds.
I'm no longer prepared to support a rogue nation state that is fundamentally determined to fuck with the world order regardless of the cost.
Bonus points for sitting on something painful while doing this to externalise the right royal pain in the arse that this has become.

@maxschrems We could counter with an equally stupid tariff... or we could do the smarter thing and abolish the anti-circumvention laws that we originally passed against our interests just because the US threatened tariffs otherwise. Now that we get tariffs there is no reason to stay captured by US tech companies. We could have right to repair laws and the right to write, distribute and buy software for the products we buy. There is no reason that John Deere can brick all of Europe's tractors at the same time (or Tesla all Teslas, Apple all iPhones, Microsoft all office suites etc) other than that we agreed to stupid deals in the past to avoid tariffs, which we get now anyway.

So, you mean our biggestest bestest bigliest friendliest ally in the whole wide world of THE WEST has never actually had any interest in our (UK, EU or Canada) well being, other than as a giant cash cow??
But they seemed so nice....
