RE: https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic/116395778447572916
While I agree with the overall anyways of the upcoming situation, I wouldn't rely on the ballot... Especially in the US.
There is a parallel between the #enshitificaton of software, hardware, and services and the austerity to fascism pipeline. The state is just an older type of walled garden. The solution isn't to improve the walled garden, but to leave it forever.
When we build systems, together, that cannot be shut down, that exist outside of these political systems, then we are opting out. Anarchism is the open source option of political ideologies.

Oh, great. Now #Jira hides the Description field after an extra scroll and click when I create a sub task, because I arguably don't use it.
But, no worries! The help documentation explains that this feature is entirely personalized for me and I can manage it. How can I manage it? I can just scroll all the way down and issue an extra click.
That, and the #Confluence banner I have to dismiss every single day.

Early Christmas gift from my GF. Perfect for my long flight in a few days!

Turned on the new #GitHub "Code Quality" feature that seems to be some extended CodeQL + AI.
It's actually worse than anything #SonarQube gave us. That actually gave really good reports on code smells, regressions and coverage failure. It was reliable.
It really does appear tech companies are replacing everything with expensive, resource intensive systems that give worse results and expect us to pay more @pluralistic #enshitificaton

I am now getting a daily email at work that summarises the reactions people used to emails.
John can't be bothered replying thank you and hitting send (I don't really care) but hits the thumbs up, which triggers an entirely seperate notification, in a seperate place to normal emails. Which distracts from what I am doing and has to be cleared and now Microsoft thinks I should also get that in a daily email, because I don't have enough emails.
Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?

After today's announcement by Apple in the UK and with the way data security is headed here in the States, I'm creating a "#deshitification to-do list" to remove services from my life that were once useful and may have even initially been founded with the best of intentions. The services on this growing list have now frankly and simply, gone to sh!t due to the childish insecurity, fear, and greed of either their founding fathers or current operating administrations.

As @pluralistic has taught us, #enshitificaton has made it harder due to switching costs that not only involves convincing our friends and family to move to federated and more ethical platforms, but in the time and even money it takes to move data, configure self-hosted solutions, and even decide whether anything that we don't directly control is trustworthy of our data and its associated metadata.
"Ethical" "do no harm" mission statements burned me once. I won't get fooled again. -
Any recommendations for a good open #ebookreader? I have an oldish Kindle Paperwhite (from 2018) and it's software updates are a shining example of #enshitificaton and #plannedobsolesence. The interface is getting worse and I have less control over it then I did when I bought it. It is also annoyingly sluggish now (I assume newer models are fare better).
