  1. Microsoft's May 2026 upgrade fail just cost us $250 in data recovery and many many hours of lost time trying to restore and reconfigure my wife's laptop.

    The impunity with which these large corporations can screw over their "customers" (read: hostages) is despicable.

    Das Prinzip #enshittfication von @pluralistic wurde hier schön übersetzt ins analoge Leben. Und am Schluss die Feststellung: "Du bildest es dir nicht ein. Digitale Dienste werden schlechter. Aber erfreulicherweise muss das nicht so sein." 💟

  5. Today we talk about #enshittfication, yet the univeral phenomena of software spoilage has been a topic much longer. Such as in this great 2007 post from Jeff Atwood: blog.codinghorror.com/why-does

  7. Olha só! O dicionário australiano Macquarie escolheu a palavra criada pelo @pluralistic, #enshittfication, como palavra do ano de 2024!

    Vi numa rede que o Cory incluiu nas fileiras da #merdificação 😅
    (Valeu Bruno Murtinho!)

  9. Just dusted off my newsletter to publish a proposal for the glut of consumer AI we're seeing now, with a simple proposal:

    Build as much AI as you would like into your products, but do so in a way that allows users to bring their own AIs, instead of being forced to use the platforms':

  11. I forgot that to Denuvo, switching proton versions looks like you're installing it on a bunch of new Windows computers.

    Why do I need Denuvo in a game that's only single player again? And one that Steam verifies that I purchased.

  12. Looks like I need to move away from Authy. I still need it for work but using it for personal 2FA seems like a losing proposition. #enshittfication

  14. If dishwashers were invented today

    🔵 you would have to buy special packets only usable by that brand of washer
    🔵 the washer would have to maintain a connection to the internet
    🔵 only approved brand dishes could be washed - they would have a special ‘wash chip’ in them to enable
    🔵 you would have to purchase a wash subscription service to allow the washer to run longer than 10 mins
    🔵 the washer would play an ad between every session
    🔵 the washer could only be serviced by approved vendors
    🔵 every 6 months you would have a special filter that would expire and you have to purchase a new one
    🔵 in order to to buy a new house you are required to purchase an approved dish washer
    🔵 if you want to wash forks you must purchase a forking upgrade subscription
    🔵 you cannot sell the dishwasher to anyone else as the geolocation built in to the device will brick the machine
    🔵 if you use unapproved soap the washer will seize up and require an approved technician to reset it for a fee

  18. The #Reddit Protest Is Finally Over. Reddit Won.

    Honestly I feel sad that #enshittfication can’t drag user away. If Reddit can move on after these kind of things I think #TwitterX could move on as well. I feel sad that both #Twitter and #Reddit still being go-to place after this kind of #enshittfication….
