I've been seeing a lot of videos and blog posts about the resurgence of #piracy in response to #enshittification . A common note is that its a _service_ problem, not a _product_ problem which is correct.

With every company announcement event, I get even more nervous because #enshittification is a strong trend these days. 🫣
It's a really good announcement when there's actually not too much news.

Er führt zahlreiche Beispiele für #Enshittification auf und hat einen sehr schön, unterhaltsamen Schreibstil.

Google‘s #Youtube won‘t even show me their stupid product video unless I reveal my identity now, so they can then track me across the web. The #enshittification continues.

Imagine you're traveling back in time to the 1990s, and somebody asks you what the websites will be like in the future.
You: well, they will weigh hundreds of megabytes.
Them: oh, because of all the high resolution images?
You: …
Them: the images, right?!

I've been seeing everyone complaining about #GitHub lately. Well, I totally agree. I've had to start working with it again recently. Not only are there frequent outages, but the UI is slow and buggy as hell. Buggy like in "Supporting the back button? What for?"...

Content warning: Gentoo, FLOSS, LLMs, depressing
#Gentoo is still one of the bright outposts in #FLOSS where human work is valued and #LLM contributions are banned. However, sometimes I feel that this matters very little.
After all, Gentoo is a distribution. While it has its own value, it cannot exist without all the software it is shipping. It makes no sense in isolation.
And let's be honest, I don't think you can avoid slop today. We are trying our best to sieve out the worst: the copywashing chardet, the vibecoded NIH Perl crypto packages… but it's just that.
As someone who bumps Python packages, let me tell you this: LLMs are omnipresent. I notice Claude in commit logs, I notice the blasphemy of agent instructions all over the place… and there's probably much more than I don't notice. With many core components giving in, you can't avoid it without literally freezing on old, vulnerable versions, or spending hours looking for alternatives or creating them.
FLOSS is dead. People don't care. They don't have conscience. All they care about is the sick idea of "productivity", i.e. generating more slop.
The few of us who do care can do very little. We will continue doing our best until they kill us (as they're literally slowly killing the whole humankind). But that's it. Maybe it will pass once the bubble pops, maybe it won't. Either way, the damage is beyond repair. We will never be able to trust one another like we did. We will never again be a community building a better world.
It's just like everything nowadays. It's hard to find a good washing machine (one that will actually be repairable), good shoes (that won't fall apart shortly after the warranty expires), good food. You need lots of money, and even then you have to sieve through all the scammers who just sell the same shit with higher profit margin. #OpenSource is just another branch of business where people are trying to "sell" you shit, and don't care anymore if it explodes in your face. They don't even care if they're actually making a profit.

Totally normal #Google #Play app situation.
Changes in new version: "restoring backups."
Methinks "that looks like a harmless update".
Reality: AI, new terms of service, new "privacy" policy, make a backup ("in cloud" preferably, can't save locally), sign up for an account (you can skip that), database migration.
Of course, the app itself is not very different. Some random extra padding that makes it look like shit, new database format that's much slower, and lots of useless premium shit.
