Enshittification, also known as crapification and platform decay, is a process in which two-sided online products and services decline in quality over time. Initially, vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, then they degrade those offerings to better serve business customers, and finally degrade their services to both users and business customers to maximize short-term profits for shareholders.

Recently I moved to a small town and ALL town and club announcements are posted exclusively on Facebook. So after however many years, I've been forced to join the Dark Side.

AutoCAD is sadly still relevant. I have to support it sometimes T_T

I diagnose people with psychological disorders for a living and did my dissertation on Autism and its effect on college students - so I’m not talking out my ass … I have an Autisic cat - pretty severely if he were human …

Specialized software, specialized hardware, if it's more complex than MS365 than I do not extend user support. Superusers with user-level skills have produced aneurysms in my brain. And, I'm 50% Shiny Happy.

@11:25 weird thought. What if instead of letting Facebook break up into multiple Face Chapters that get glued back together over a few decades; The US Government just owns 60% of Facebook? I mean obviously it's a phase 2 thing, but after fixing democracy, maybe we just own the shares as a public strategic reserve and GPT.Powell gets to manage it for Congress like the superintendent of schools. Maybe make some stuff Article 1 only and get it away from the Executive. Make it a leash that will hopefully be wielded by 100,000 house members and 400 Senators. Make Zuckerberg bleed as he lobbies away his billions to convince 60% of the board that ALSO happens to own the underlying infrastructure. Tech companies are then just Interface developers who use the underlying public infrastructure like a resource that is locally controlled by each municipal district.... I either created communism or chaos. This really only works if our 80k a year job is politics, developing policy . We still have Admiral Jamesjohnwayne J.D McConnell the third of Starfleet making 500k a year and being administratively acceptable. Things are better and the same after 10 to 15 generations of this cycle of progress.

I 100% have a 90's laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad 370) that my unc gave me back then and ran Ubuntu on it for YEARS...

Like the cat? I mean it’s like the tiger (Kenny i think it was) that had Down’s Syndrome - but tigers don’t have a 23rd … he sure looked and acted like you’d expect a tiger with Down’s would - but the diagnosis is actually impossible …

@14:00 in my wibbly wobbly looping view of everything, in the best not-Armageadon scenario, all the corporations and capitalists wrap themselves into a ball of plasma that society uses for power. The social safety net becomes less about catching people in society and more about protecting society from capitalism.

I think it was a shot at Dear Old Dads.

What game were they talking about in the opening?

I always appreciate a Terry Pratchett mention. Octarine!
