RE: https://infosec.exchange/@gwizit/117219888299900585
I am a little bit late to this, as reports on this seem to have been around for more than a month already – e.g. https://www.theregister.com/personal-tech/2026/07/21/lg-monitors-are-using-windows-11-feature-to-serve-adware/5275486 – but what the heck?

Good to see our head nerd Cory @pluralistic get continued (and growing) recognition.
Here is #Enshittification (the book, not the depressing phenomenon) on a display at the entrance of Foyles on Charing Cross road, one of London's biggest and most visited book stores. It's also next to the card readers at rhe till. It's big.
Cory will also be speaking here part of his book tour on the 9th of Sept.

@nik #Enshittification has a cat in it. So that's nice.

The Social Reckoning That Wasn't
This video critiques the recent settlement between Meta and 52 US state attorneys general regarding the impact of their platforms on teenage mental health. Patrick Boyle breaks down why he believes this "historic" settlement is largely performative.

Fajnie się te korpo rozbijają w Polsce.
Zawsze mówię moim koleżankom i kolegom pracującym w jakimś SSC: to, że pracujesz w klimatyzowanym biurze i masz owocowe czwartki nie oznacza, że jesteś w globalnej hierarchii wyżej od pracownika montowni, więc się nie wywyższaj, bo jesteś też tanią siłą roboczą.
Weźmy przykład Ubera:
"Pracownicy, którzy są właśnie w okresie wypowiedzenia, dostali nowe zadania — przeszkolenie swoich hinduskich następców.
— Do Krakowa przyjechała grupa Hindusów, którym mamy przekazać swoje obowiązki, pokazać co jak działa i wdrożyć ich w procesy — opowiada jeden z pracowników Ubera.
— To niebywałe, że Uberowi bardziej opłaca się opłacić przyjazd tutaj pracowników z Indii, żeby nauczyli się robić to, co my, niż utrzymanie naszych miejsc pracy w Krakowie — dziwi się kolejny z pracowników.
— Uber wiedział, że możemy gremialnie uciec na L4, ale potrzebował nas, żeby przekazać wszystko nowym. Zaproponowano nam spore benefity, byle tylko nie zabrakło chętnych do szkolenia Hindusów."
Już widzę, jak Oskarki i Anetki łączą się i uciekają grupowo na L4... Dostaną 400 złotych do wypłaty, voucher do Cinema City i będą szkolić następców.
Smutne, że po ponad 35 latach kapitalizmu w Polsce, większość z nas ma do wyboru albo areczkowanie w januszeksie albo być korposzczurem w SSC.

#GamersNexus probably had the idea of starting the series from their video about LG tvs and their absurd terms of use…

And here’s another one: paying attention to your shareholders instead of your customers is like your parents supported you throughout your life to allow you to progress, and when you’re able to buy your first home you only invite the bank manager who gave you the mortgage to the inauguration. I mean, again, talking about being ungrateful with those who made you who you are… 🙄

"Cheating on a #bribery scheme is a mood. This isn't just enshittification, it's enshittification inception. Amazon managed to enshittify their own #enshittification!
This case was brought by Trump's FTC, which means that #Amazon can get out of it by paying a chud podcaster to tweet at the president and he'll order them to drop it, just like he did with Ticketmaster"

"This is pure #enshittification. Of all the ... ways that #Amazon came up with to make money, the most successful is a #scam that makes everything you buy more expensive even as it reduces the profits of the companies you're buying from. It's another example of #corruption: a system of concentrated gains and diffuse losses – and once again, it's the most profitable thing Amazon does.
And then…Amazon made it worse."

"When you search Amazon, the top results do not represent Amazon's best guess about what product will best match your query: rather, Amazon *auctions off* those top results to its platform sellers. Amazon's search results reflect who paid the biggest bribe, not who has the best product."

simple example of #enshittification and yup, it is Google of course.
Put in an event in my calendar noting that it was for Grades 1-5
Google decided that I obviously meant that it was from 1pm-5pm so REMOVED the text I entered from the event and forced it to be in that time slot EVEN though I had entered it as an all day event in my calendar.
I HATE this. Tools should NEVER edit my text I enter WITHOUT asking me first. NEVER.
Now I worry that this has happened previously uncaught

Guilty of Vehicular #enshittification
HEADLINE: Feds open probe into Musk’s steering-wheel-free taxis a day after he began offering rides in them
"NHTSA was looking into whether Tesla was in full compliance with federal rules in deploying so-called Cybercabs in Austin, Texas, given that the two-seater cars lack steering wheels, mirrors or brake pedals typically required of all vehicles."
"What could ever go wrong?" one asks as the Cyborg Corolla mows down Nuns.

@mikro2nd @anildash and alas Vulture capital is another real and evil thing - private equity funds that buy up firms (usually litterslly using debt that the companies they acquire will have to pay back) who then break up companies and sell off their assets almost always firing workers, closing stores, with #enshittification of the products inherent in their plans (though often they just plan on closing a company entirely)
And yup, some private equity firms are now LPs in VC funds

*15 hours a month only if you pay $23 a month for the "Ultimate" GamePass plan. For other plans it's 10h and 5h... Five hours a month! That's 1 afternoon of gaming 🤣

@pluralistic I collect famous quotes, important for nowaday's life, in a notebook. This one will join the treasures: " we are stuck in the Enshittocene, the era in which everything is turning into a pile of shit, because the worst ideas of the worst people now make the most money."
Great. 💩💪🏽💩 -
