Finally started geading #Enshittification by Cory Doctorow @pluralistic .
Interesting read putting rigor, facts and words on what we all feel as users and customers nowadays.
I can't wait to get to the solutions chapter though.
"The short version is that YouTube used AI to 'enhance' the videos of Rick Beato and Rhett Shull. YouTube used an AI smoothing filter that made the videos look like they were AI generated, and didn’t tell Beato, Shull, or their viewers that they were doing it. They only admitted to it after the two made videos proving it happened, later claiming it was only a 'limited test'.”

Holy shit, is #Flock speedrunning to be the shittiest company of 2025?
I hate that so many #California municipalities jumped on the chance to spend taxpayer dollars on these shitty cameras.
“After 404 Media contacted Flock for comment, the exposed panel became no longer available. Flock then declined to comment.”

@pluralistic Wandering B&N last Monday, 💩 emoji on a book cover catches my eye. Thursday: book is finished, already have 3 other people starting to read #Enshittification and I’m back to actually using mastadon again. Thank you for helping open my eyes!
2025 captured in a Reddit post…
"My schizophrenic sister hospitalized herself because she thought she was having a psychotic episode where someone was attempting to communicate with her through her fridge. Turns out it was an advert on the LED screen."

This is something discussions on #Spotify tend to miss: most alternatives are corporate services that are not immune to #enshittification
@mirlo thinks #federation is the answer:
“We’re trying to federate #music marketplaces and music distribution platforms (..) if the instance that hosts your music starts to do things you don’t like, you should be able to transfer your data, and not lose anything”

Suggestion: Instead of "searching the web" let's just say "wading through shit".
I just waded through shit for "compliments for beginners"* and came back stinky and empty handed.
*see my poll and thread from yesterday for reference.

I am quite sure that if you haven’t donated to @bonfire ‘s campaign yet it’s just because you did not know about it yet, so here is a link: https://www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/bonfire/community 🙂
In case you are not convinced yet, here’s a slide for you about (and against!) #Enshittification 💩
In this moment, I think every project that fights enshittification should deserve attention and support. I myself contributed, and got me an awesome print (limited edition number 19, which as y’all know is binary for 🤟😜)
And now, #Calibre is joining the #enshittification #AISlop bandwagon...
I'm so tired...
