Screenshot of email from amazon.co.uk saying they "are discontinuing support for Kindle devices released in 2012 of earlier..."
#amazon have just emailed me to say they are turning my perfectly functional #kindle into a brick next month. This isn't the most aggressive example of #forcedobsolescence - and at least they gave me notice - but it's still Very Not Cool for users or the planet. #badtech #enshittification

A 16:9 split graphic. On the left, colorful icons representing ideas, messages, and code flow into a metal funnel and come out as gray, lumpy sludge in a tray. On the right, a parody “AI Content Nutrition Facts” label lists “Engagement 200%,” “Truth 40%,” “Originality 15%,” and “Human Connection 5%,” with notes like “Artificially flavored” and “May contain misinformation.”
AI is not our friend. It was supposed to help. Instead, it’s degrading social media, content, software, customer experience, and trust.

I know most people here don't need to hear this, so maybe just pass this along to your less techy friends and family members, but: please, do not go to ChatGPT for medical advice.

I first got online in 1992. This gives me quite the view of internet history.
When I wonder why there are hardly any successful, popular, creative internet projects anymore, I always circle back around to how much less money there is at the lower tiers of the economy (anything below $1b).
It's […]

My big problem with music fora, gearhead fora, and seemingly every other kind of enthusiast community lately is that they're all about what to buy, and not how to get more out of what you've already got. #synthfluencers #gearheads #everyoneasalesman #enshittification

@notion.com android app opens external links itself rather than in my chosen browser - ignoring the in-app setting. I've even removed its permission to open supported links in my device's settings, just in case - no luck.
Why?
Please, I just want to control my own stuff. #badtech #enshittification

Cover of Cory Doctorow's book "Enshittification" damaged by the enshittified retailer. A strip of brown paper glued across the entire front
Reading #Enshittification (the copy @richardlittler.bsky.social got from the online retailer who serves as a case study in the book). I like the morphological fun that @doctorow.pluralistic.net has with his neologism: "Disenshittificatory countermaneuver" is just downright giddy 🤣

I start my modern car (2023) that's been sitting for about ten days. The very first thing it does is demand a software update, which fails because the battery is "too low". After driving it to charge, it finally starts the update (locking me out of the car for 30 minutes, completely unusable) […]

Microslop’s copy-a-lot (pronounced Microsoft Copilot) seems to be in 78 different products. No wonder it’s difficult explaining what this #enshittification is about. teybannerman.com/strategy/202...
