Your periodic reminder that the price is no guide to the quality in education, health, aged care and these days pretty much everything. If it can be scammed it will. That $100k per annum school can have a lower educational outcome than the $5k version (feedback from people who work in both private and public schools (at the same time) is that outcomes in public are superior) #economics #shittification https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-05/abs-school-enrolment-data-private-vs-public-cost-of-living/106414016?utm_source=abc_news_app&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_app&utm_content=other

The best video to watch right now. #shittification

When the latest JDK, Scala and Apache Ignite (first of potentially many dependencies) versions don't work together, the entire project gets written in something else instead.
Days were when java meant java and developers understood the simple concept of backwards-compatibility. Today, the Scala language looks lovely but the ecosystem is arse. I hate to think what it'd be like if the project lasted the usual 5yr+.

Oh nein!
Schade, #Wikipedia ist ein so wichtiges Projekt…
Und so viele Leute dort so viel Lebenszeit hineingeben, um dieses Projekt zu fördern!
Und andere sehen es als Sandkasten ihrer eigenen Machtspiele…
Gerade jetzt, wo so viel "#KI" #shittification läuft, sind verlässliche Quellen so immens wichtig
Aber viele Menschen können nicht mit jeglicher Art von Macht umgehen
Gibt es etwas, mit dem ich dich unterstützen kann, Brennpunkt?

@okobot chciałem sobie przeczytać ten artykuł, ale był zasłonięty oknem zmuszającym do logowania. (obrazek 1)
Pomyślałem "a, zrobię wyjątek" i się zaloguję, ale mi się nie udało, bo mi wyskoczył popup zasłaniający to pole do logowania (obrazek 2)
Więc zamknąłem ten popup zaraz jak zrobiłem screena. I wtedy wyskoczył mi kolejny (obrazek 3).
Oko press, czy was już totalnie pojebało?

Given all of the #AI #shittification a web of trust built on a friend-to-friend basis appears to be inevitable for anything remotely like the current internet to exist moving forward.
Literally no point in interacting with any of the AI shit besides writing your own bot to hide, close, remove, ... it wherever possible...

Literally none of the big companies is doing any #QA anymore...

Next platform to enter #shittification stage is Discord. The change of CEO tells all you need to know.

Ah yes, the fairy tale where you're promised a magical cloud app that respects your data sovereignty by being "ejectable." 🚀 Meanwhile, you're still left holding the bag when the service goes AWOL or drinks too much #shittification Kool-Aid. 🛢️ But hey, at least your data stayed local, right? 😂

We're still definitely at the gaffer tape, bendy mirrors, and magic smoke stage of making #smarthome tech behave in any sane way for people who aren't terminally tech-oriented
About half of everything works just fine, and the other half requires wiring a heap of potentially unreliable open-source projects together behind the scenes.
Add on to that an attempt at de- #shittification by removing various Google owned devices and services and it's extra fun.
Right now, our smart home stack consists of Home Assistant, #HomeKit (Apple) with #HomeBridge supplying some services, legacy Google/Nest things and devices from a couple of key vendors and a handful-and-a-half of others with one or two devices. .
I'm happy to faff about with this stuff in my spare time to make things work, but making something useful and usable for a person with multiple disabilities who relies on a voice assistant and a partner who doesn't have the bandwidth to play around in #HomeAssistant isn't straightforward by any means.

The #shittification of #cloud begins:
"Bringing cloud and AI capabilities to the tactical edge: Google Distributed Cloud air-gapped appliance is generally available"
"#AI" BS meets someone else's computer ("cloud").
No chance for #deshittification anymore.

The Shittification (sic) of Britain's rivers and seas as a reult of the privatisation of the UK's water companies - must be the most Literal and Graphic example of #Shittification (aka #shitification ) you can get.
Renationalising water could fix sewage crisis – but no major party will do it

The job of college/university #professor in the USA is becoming shittified, largely by management (though they're downstream from reduced public funding, politician games, and American obsession with corporatizing everything).
I would personally like a new career, something I never thought I'd say. My own job has suffered from #shittification due to micromanagement, management weaponization of student complaints, constant management assault on autonomy and shared governance (not to even mention tenure), workload creep (and dump), etc.
However, those might all be manageable if they--and other factors--didn't add up to a significant reduction in meaningfulness of the job.
When I felt my job meant something, that my efforts mattered in ways I cared about, that I was contributing to something worthwhile, I didn't mind the long hours, low pay, unrecognized workload additions, publication/funding rat race, standard problem students, etc.
A sense of meaning went a long, long way toward balancing all those things.
Without that sense of meaning--which I'm finding increasingly difficult to ferret out of the cracks between all the top-down and bottom-up bullshit--I find myself wondering why I put up with, and do, all the ridiculous, frustrating things for a salary that allows me to buy a 10-year-old car once a decade.
If I could find that sense of meaning, I'd stay. Without it, I don't see much difference between the corporate world I currently work in and another, hopefully more lucrative, corporate world.

oh cool, came home only to find that microsoft has installed an "AI asSisTaNt" on my computer without my consent and without a way to remove it. Into the registry I go I guess

Duckduckgo est mon moteur de recherche préférré. Il fonctionne grosso modo comme Google avant la merdification par les annonces et l'IA.

2023: Literally all established unicorn startups are shocked to notice that exponential growth at some point turns into boring normal growth and start the #shittification process. #unity
