Shanie MyrsTearFor <a href="https://mastodon.tails.ch/tags/Discord" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Discord</a>, the end-times are sooner than we think.With the pickup of Ex-Activision Exec Humam Sakhnini, you know, the Call of M̶o̶n̶e̶y̶ Duty publisher, as CEO of Discord, we can effectively say "goodbye" to what Discord is, and "hello" to the complete <a href="https://mastodon.tails.ch/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittification</a> of a service marching headfirst into <a href="https://mastodon.tails.ch/tags/IPO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IPO</a>.Sorry ya'll, but we're due to move off another <a href="https://mastodon.tails.ch/tags/centralized" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#centralized</a> place we love if we care about the services we get.

Joe OrtizOnce again, I highly advice you to get off <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Discord" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Discord</a> and use something else, prefferably a messaging platform that is end-to-end encrypted, federated, no phone number idenitfiers, and open source.You can bet your dollars that once they officially announce their IPO plans, all bets are off in terms of <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittification</a> X 1000.<a href="https://venturebeat.com/games/why-discord-founder-jason-citron-is-stepping-down-from-ceo-job-exclusive-interview/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://venturebeat.com/games/why-discord-founder-jason-citron-is-stepping-down-from-ceo-job-exclusive-interview/</a><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opensource</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/encryption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#encryption</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privacy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/federation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#federation</a>

bazkie, lanparty callgirlUPDATE: (thanks Mauser II and Patrick Schmitz) The screenshot issue is happening due to HW acceleration being enabled and is NOT a DRM thing!The AMD video recording problem IS a DRM thing tho, which is why I assumed it was also causing this problem. My bad! (see screenshot in the Mauser thread for that abomination)------I was gonna share a screenshot of a football match I'm watching, because I think one of the teams has very nice kit colors, but I'm on Windows right now and screenshotting it leads to a black window - no doubt because of some DRM crap somewhere in this shit OS.God I hate neoliberals and their capitalist bullshit :blobcatfluffangry: Not sure if it's in Windows itself or in the AMD drivers or in the browser (firefox) but either way it's some freedom infringing bullshit and I can't wait for this whole system to come crashing down as it no doubt soon will<a href="https://beige.party/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittification</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/neoliberal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neoliberal</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/latestagecapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#latestagecapitalism</a>

rk: could be an enumSome recent Chrome update has started forcing people who sign into Google Apps or Workspaces or whatever to associate a Chrome profile with that account.This bit me recently and now it’s bitten my wife; her personal Chrome profile has been replaced as default with her nursing school college account and she didn’t know how to change back and thought she’d lost a huge amount of work. Like…just let people browse the web, good lord. It’s absurd. <a href="https://mastodon.well.com/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittification</a>

Brian Dear<a href="https://mastodon.green/@CiaraNi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@CiaraNi</a> Good for you. I got rid of Microsoft back in 2018. No more Office on Mac. I just use TextEdit or vi in a terminal. For formatted docs, Libre.But you’re right about Linux. Linux is Nirvana for tinkerers. I spend enough time tinkering with audio plugins and DAWs and that’s plenty. I will keep sticking with MacOS until Apple succumbs to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittification</a> as well—and unfortunately it’s inevitable, sigh.

Maggie MaybeThis is really interesting. Yeah, it’s <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/reddit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reddit</a>, but this is good:“Big tech had captured, neutered, and leeched from journalism and pulled off one of the greatest strategic coups of all time. They married us to both their ad businesses and to their algorithmic platforms, enshittified our journalism to make their platforms useable (consider the fact that social and search platforms can only exist if people other than the companies running them provide content for those platforms), and then they trained their AI on our work and told us to fuck off. In the span of maybe 10-15 years these companies first changed the objectives of journalism and then just kind of killed it altogether.”This is what I was ranting about yesterday with that find a grave website refusing to ban my schizophrenic cousin even though he violated their terms and conditions everywhere. He made 64 memorials on the site so he IS findagrave.com.

JW Prince of CPH, RadicalizedDear Lord, search is so fucking broken. We've gone from "any search is littered with SEO optimized crap" to "any search is nothing but SEO optimized crap" in very short order... In my job I search a lot for many different kinds of products & those kinds of searches are now 99.99999% Temo-level bullshit. <a href="https://helvede.net/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittification</a>

A1MVP<a href="https://sauropods.win/@futurebird" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@futurebird</a> I think there's a combination of the fact that all the low hanging fruit (ie. technologies we use every day like cell phones and microwaves) are already "done"And not only that but "past done", as in well into <a href="https://masto.hackers.town/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittification</a> which is an important trend because it makes the future look *worse* to the average consumer.And I think this feeds largely into the anti-science sentiment that's overtaken large segments of the population in the recent past...

Florian EgermannNot being able to take screenshot of something i am watching on Netflix (that i am paying for!) is sooooooo frustrating (<a href="https://chaos.social/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittification</a>). Trust me: I am not going to screenshot every frame of Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, record all voices and sound effects myself and put the resulting movie on Pirate Bay.

skryMicrosoft announces it's an even more terrible place to work now as it ratchets up the pressure for "productivity" and blocklists "low performers".

ferricoxideIt's weird: Seems like, more and more frequently, stuff that I need to order from <a href="https://evil.social/tags/Amazon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amazon</a> (b/c can't find it elsewhere) still has free shipping due to (yet-to-expire) Prime membership isn't available same-day, next-day or, recently, not even same week. Dunno if this is just a conicidence (i.e., what I've most-recently been looking for not being "common" and, therefore, not broadly distributed across their warehouse network) or if this is further examples of Amazon's <a href="https://evil.social/tags/enshittification" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittification</a> of their services.

Maggie MaybeThis is what happens when companies decide to use bots for Customer service with no way to get a real person.I realize that this article doesn’t claim at any point that the police were talking to <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/bots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bots</a>, but the thing is if the Customer service rep was an actual person they would have escalated this immediately, and then that supervisor could have escalated it immediately until they got someone to simply CALL THE DRIVER. That that’s really all it would take.If they didn’t want to give the driver’s information to the person on the phone claiming to be the police, if it was a human being and not a bot talking to the cops, they would have contacted the driver themselves for the police and the customer and the child still in the car.An Uber drove away with her kid.

small circle 🕊 in calmness<a href="https://toad.social/@krystyna" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@krystyna</a> yes small purchases is fine. A cart full of self-scan shebang is super <a href="https://social.coop/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittification</a>.What I notice is that people are waiting in long scan queue when it is busy, while the one slightly hidden cashier-operated check-out is idle. People seem to enjoy the chore and the <a href="https://social.coop/tags/individualism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#individualism</a>.And then you have the scanbro's who smoothly surf through the production line. Ultra-fast suave scan motions in a blur. 20 seconds.. "ah, I did it again". To the jealousy of the common scan folks. 🤣

quintessence :blobfoxcofecute:When you hear the phrase "seat at the table" what does that mean to you?Or: Enfranchised and disenfranchised communication.===So what am I talking about here and why?A metaphor I'll use in this post and often overall: let's say that you're at a concert or a bar and you're talking to your friends. When you leave, you may find that your voice is hoarse, from shouting, even though you didn't feel like you were shouting at the time. You were just trying to be heard. Let's call this "shouting at the concert". Shouting At The Concert has a lot of implications in hierarchical systems. A common one is from the Twitter-that-was, or on Yelp and review platforms: people are so used to phone calls and emails that are routed like 30 times that they don't even pick up the phone any more. Why bother? Instead, they try to create noise and hope that the noise and pressure that it results in will get them what they want or need. (This is, in part, <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittification</a> but also deeper than only that.)To put it another way, they've been at the concert so long, that they don't realize they are shouting. It is just their new baseline, their new speaking volume. Other people hear them as shouting, but they're Just Talking.Increasing scope further: these two modes of conversation could also be referred to as Enfranchised and Disenfranchised. When you're Enfranchised, you use your Seat At The Table (see, there's the prompt :blobfoxdetective: ). This may be your voice in a meeting or a vote, but when you are enfranchised you know that 1 ) your voice matters and 2 ) how to use it. Disenfranchised communication is different. When disenfranchised, # 1 is not true: your voice "doesn't matter" so # 2 doesn't exist. There is no way to use your voice in the system "appropriately" or "in the right way" or even at all. Disenfranchised communication results in a lot of Shouting At The Concert, because that is the volume you need to use to get The Enfranchised, notably not you in this example, to use *their* voice on your behalf. (Was really hoping this would be a single post, but alas...)1/2
