Ça n'aura pris que 10 ans depuis ma fuite de Spotify freemium, mais je suis enfin rattrapé par les pubs de merde en suisse-allemand sur Apple Podcast, quel plaisir de les retrouver. /s #enshitification

omfg, #enshitification is never going to end, is it? Today when trying to film my next YT vid, I have found out by a huge fucking surprise that the #CameraConnect app by #Canon, now requires an account to be able to use it, breaking the ability for me to adjust focus, and all the other shenanigans. Basically this camera is unusable for filming yourself. Not that it was perfect before either, but at least it worked up until now.

Great job breaking perfectly fine and functioning things, without a warning and the option to downgrade!

Keep on breaking them, we're rich here, I can keep on spending about $1000 on a camera each year. /s

J'ai voulu regarder l'application #Poppins pour louer / prêter des objets dans le quartier... J'ai parcouru un peu les objets disponibles. Eh bien, on est en plein dans ce que je craignais : de l'IA de merde partout...
Soit c'est du fake pour faire du remplissage et faire croire qu'il y a des objets, soit les gens s'en foutent et ne récupèrent même pas une photo sur le site marchand.
Y'a rien qui va !!!

Eeewwww, the wait screen for Zoom meetings is now showing me ads for Zoom AI.

DO. NOT. WANT.

Ich so "Hey Amazon, ich hätte gerne dasda..."

Amazon so: "Bestätige mal deine IBAN!"

Ich so: "Ok, hier meine IBAN!"

Amazon so: "Die stimmt nicht!"

Ich so: "Doch!"

Amazon so: "Die stimmt nicht!"

Ich so: "Dann bestell ich halt woanders..."

Anyone figured out a way to turn this WhatApp Meta AI garbage off yet? My GoogleFu found it’s not possible. (Although I found loads of AI slop results pointing to instructions for settings that don’t even exist in WhatApp as the web pages were clearly written by AI bots hallucinating). #WhatsApp #MetaAI #Enshitification

Oh, sorpresa. Si dejas una reseña en Google Play usando la palabra "slop", te la borran por violar las normas sobre comentarios políticos y sociales. La IA te la comes porque te la comes.

@openculture ist einer jener Accounts, die mich immer wieder überraschen und interessieren. Schön, dass es so etwas noch gibt, in guter Qualität und bar jeder #paywall‌. Paywalls überschwemmen das Internet und haben die Fundgrube an interessanten Dingen längst in ein #Paynet und #Neppnet verwandelt.

sad to watch Apple's slow march to #enshitification

Re: changes at #ebay today: once we get out of the current political moment with extra boycotting skills and solidarity and have more spoons for smaller stuff, can we please please make it clear to big tech companies via collective action that they can't just get away with eg silently enabling AI training on all user data?

They're not even pretending its to help us any more.

Dear Yelp
restaurants with outdoor seating, doesn’t include restaurants where you can order takeout and sit on the curb to eat it. Now excuse me while I wade through your list of every restaurant in the city

You mean like every developer and automation geek & widget constantly working to anticipate my every next move down to last keystroke like some ubiquitous office-mate constantly swinging by regardless of time to 'offer a little advice with that'?

What a great I'dea!

It’s things like this that make you question all life and the universe in general: I create events on our new platform, that’s where people are supposed to sign up. I create a dummy event at the old one with a link to the new one as the sole ref in the description. I set the number of participants to only ONE (me, myself) and yet now I have half a dozen of brilliant ignorants on each of the events on the waitlist. Not sure what they are waiting for.

No Google, that is definitely NOT what I meant. #google #enshitification

Enshitification in retail.

The same coffee isle before single-use plastic Keurig coffee ‘convenience’ and after.

If you’re using Keurig you don’t give a fuck about the planet.

As per #alttext on pic-2, energy- and processing-wise, far more package than product.

Note as well how competition has taken a backseat to coddling brand giants looking to destroy the competitive market.

(Hello Tim’s: seen.)

THIRTY PERCENT???

Patreon is now taking 30%??

FFS you can do that shit on your own site and keep it all

Just explained enshitification to my fellow parish councillors down the pub, it took about 30 seconds before they got it.
It's a thing hiding in plain sight that just needs a name attaching for people to see it and recognise it.
