  1. [P] Linux should, at no level, support AI slop. It's corporate enshittification by and for c-suites, it's as contrary to the ethos os open source as anyrhing could be. It gave the Internet, Windows, Android, and more digital cancer. I mean, it pretty much makes Windows 11 unusable on a monthly basis because it's terminally sick. This fate shouldn't befall Linux. I can't support distro projects so horny for AI.

  6. [P] I've been considering distro-hopping and, well, OpenSuse is off the list. The project openly supports AI slop art and they use it in the distro. And worse, they've been incredibly condescending, aggressive, and openly rude towarx anyone who raises an issue about AI slop—outright bullying them into silence. I remember Torvalds being pro-AI and how fucking quickly he walked that back once he understood the scale of slop.

  11. Your Cookware Got Worse On Purpose

    One buyout firm quietly collected Pyrex, Corelle, Instant Pot, and Oneida. Farberware is a name on a 200-year lease. And the pans still worth buying.

    I already reluctantly added Cloudflare to botwiki.org. But I *really* don't want to have to do that to my site.

    This kind of blows. Thanks AI bros.

  23. "Accessibility in Tech Communication" a new blog post by me ✨

    > As we enter into the enshittocene, the era of mass enshittification — the phenomenon where all parts of the internet we used to really enjoy is turning into shit — it becomes incredibly important that we take note of how much or little of our message is understood by regular people. This is especially true because of the somewhat complicated causes of enshittification.

    ...

    > We need our message to be accessible to the people who it matters to, and to the people who can help us organize to work on the issue. When we talk about privacy, that conversation should be accessible to anyone smart enough to own and use a cellphone or computer, at minimum! If we're talking about Big Tech or its alternatives, that should be understandable by anyone who uses those Big Tech products! This should be intuitive, but it's not.

  28. Looks like LG is having bit of a #privacy disaster after adding a TOS clause about the user having to inform all their guests that their TV or monitor will listen in with its built-in microphone and it will be analyzed elsewhere.

    I'm sure this will sell a lot of new TVs.

    And in general, just unplug the smart TVs unless you really want to use their shitty build-in apps.

  30. I dunno WTF happened, but in the last few weeks it seems Gmail’s spam filtering just decided to stop working.

    What is normally a 50 email per week box for me has jumped to over 1000 emails a week.

    It’s nuts.

  37. RE: mastodon.social/@br00t4c/11694

    @pluralistic in his book, #enshittification explains how this ends; Amazon will use its vast resources and capital to undercut the competition by absorbing massive losses in the beginning, with the endgame being the elimination of all competition and the establishment of a monopolist position.

    After that it’s game over.

  39. It looks like this TV is also glitching after 20 minutes or so of playing broadcast TV (at least on ITV). Audio is ok but the video gets stuck for a while and the glitches as it tries to catch up. I expect it's video decoding performance causing sync issue but being an integrated "smart" device it's almost certainly undebuggable.

    It's the same issue you get on mobile phones etc. They slow down over the years and if you factory reset they feel like new again.

    Proprietary stuff is not good for sustainability. While I'm not a great fan of Amazon I have to say that their fire sticks do work well, are cheap (likely a significant loss leader) and are typically updated for longer periods than many of the built-in "Smart TV" stuff.

  43. Now THIS is maximum enshittification. As in, if you couldn't make your product experience shittier, this is how you do it.

    My TVs DO NOT HAVE WIFI, nor do I ever plug a monitor or TV into my PC's USB. Talk about malware exposure.
