We had to get a new TV.
Which means a smart TV.
Which means my new TV, while looking sharper and using less energy, comes with an OS that does all it can to make it a pain to use as a monitor.

There are many key lessons for higher education in @…'s Enshittification. One is about mission:
"...the double edged nature of vocational awe. Sure Googlers [faculty] had been willing to pull long hours, putting work before personal life and health, in order to realize the company's [university's] mission, but the quid pro quo those workers expected was for the company [university] to take that mission as seriously as they did."

Enshittification wasn't an accident.
It also wasn't inevitable.

#Enshittification was a choice:
Known individuals, in living memory, enacted policies that created the enshittogenic environment.
They created a world that encouraged tech companies to merge to monopoly,

It's Interesting today that the popularization of @…'s concept of "enshittification" is leading us to really think hard about how various methods of vendor lock-in enable corporations to abuse users. We see how first there's lock-in then quickly abuse follows, and recognize that the only way out of this trap is to build systems where users can leave at will.
But it's interesting that in this time of rising fascism no one is making the connection to fascism, as both increased lock in and enshittification of government. And no one is making the connection between the need to make systems optional to avoid enshittification, and libertarian socialist arguments against the systemic lock-in (and following abuse) of capitalism and the state.

OK this may be my first encounter with the enshittification of OneDrive - I know it only from the online cloud storage that you have to actually acitively save stuff too.
Appears that microsoft has it as default storgae so everything saved on hard drive of laptop is also backed up to their cloud.
And this onedrive storage is "full" after we downloaded full google photos* backup yesterday. So I can't do anything here even though the laptop itslef has a goood 150 Gb free on the hard drive.
Swearing is starting to happen. 3/n

It’s obvious that this tool was made by people who care about data and care about humans. It’s not even that it’s •perfect•; it’s just that it’s •thoughtful•.
That kind of human-to-human feeling of “we did our best because we care about the strangers who use this tool” just seems almost like an act of radical defiance in this Era of Enshittification. I appreciate it so much.

Great guy, but I could not accept "be quiet, you are not part of this" when I am a browser user, web user, former-web developer (1995-2010) and just a person who gives a shit about privacy, security, and enshittification in general.
