This makes me so happy :)

I see that #LinkedIn is trying to loop me into a locked-down platform. (No surprise, obviously, coming from #Microsoft ).

April Fools, but this may become reality soon enough. Keep fighting, and keep on introducing your friends to open-source tech 🦾

Updates need to be great enough to justify changing the #software at all.

I was so frustrated with Apple Numbers AI today that I didn't pay much attention but now I think it was trying to get me to upgrade to the Creators Studio version. It interrupted my work with a screwed AI suggestion to try get me to subscribe.

Apple Numbers spreed sheet AI got in my way today. It tried to assist me in a simple autofill and screwed it up. I don't even subscript to the creators (stinking) version. Just 2 columns by 12 rows that after I finally got the AI to stop I could do my fill as I always have. There was no simple dialogue to say no let me doit my way. I had to accept it then undo it.

Watch the Enshittificator

"Digital products and services keep getting worse. In the new report Breaking Free: Pathways to a fair technological future, the Norwegian Consumer Council has delved into enshittification and how to resist it. The report shows how this phenomenon affects both consumers and society at large, but that it is possible to turn the tide." >>

I got on the line with a human, and she said I should try using Chrome. (This was after I said I wanted to not use the smartphone app.) (Note, she wasn't rude or anything.)

I hate #platformDecay .

Why does Facebook allow people to buy ads that impersonate Facebook?

On Facebook there will be an ad that is a picture that looks like Facebook's notifications but if you hover over it reveals it is going to a scam site.

Facebook gladly takes the ad money because they don't care if a user gets scammed.

I wonder how many actually fall for it. It must work because the scammers keep buying ads.

So Google has marked email that Google sent me as junk.

You would think Google's filter would say, "hey this is from us, it's not junk."

It was a Google Business Profile email, which I always get two copies. One on main account and one on back up account. This time one was marked as junk and one went to inbox.

I not complaining it just reminded me how a giant corp can't get the small things right.

A fairly decent blogpost about, I guess, #platformDecay . Computers used to be our tools but now they just feel like tools of their manufacturers.

Regarding the problem of AI-generated videos, and video evidence --

We might someday get something like #DRM , but for video recording. E.g. maybe your phone will cryptographically sign your videos with a hardware-protected vendor-provided key.

This is bad, as it would inherit the problems of DRM (e.g. not stopping dedicated and knowledgeable actors from making fakes, and making it harder for people to own their own stuff). It would give a false sense of security.

#courtroom #platformDecay

A worthy read on the frightening direction that supposed "copyright" law is taking us in.

Thanks Microsoft for just rebooting my computer (#VM in this case), closing my windows and ending my session, without my consent *_*
Not Windows 11, actually. I was feeling pretty good about Windows 10, looking back, but now I'm remembering some things less than fondly.

#ensittification is the word of the day. I don't like it as it isn't transparent in meaning. It refers to the decay of a digital platform over time as supposedly free platform services strive for profit. You'll see more adverts, fees for more than a very basic service, tracking cookies to feed adverts at you, and the sqeezing of money from far less powerful providers, e.g. small traders. So #PlatformDecay is the better term.

Pet peeve for today: #platformDecay of payment services, here's looking at you, #stripe #goCardless #payPal

All began as 'better' ways to do stuff but are now.. not so.

Stripe plugins advertise stripe accounts to payers, begging for personal data.

GoCardless: their orignial USP, a market-shaking fee structure and modern API is now as laughable as google's "don't be evil".

PayPal: well, just ... ugh. yuk. Can anyone even remember when it did something good?

So, NintendoLife.com wants to share tracking data with hundreds (literally; maybe thousands) of partners? Wow... I can't even opt out of a lot of this!
Clear that something's wrong with the way they're doing things.

Makes me think of #Web #platformDecay
