If an employer can't 'afford' to pay you properly he shouldn't run a business.

Is it not?

Yeah. 'Decay' has a natural whiff to it, while 'enshittification' reeks of it being actively made that way.

Thanks, never heard of it & will switch to it myself!

Just as short and not as inappropriate.

Honest question: What are the alternstives?

I agree that enshittification is a, well, shitty term, but I know obly it to describe the problem at hand.

Alternstives I think of are walled gardens, collapse of the internet as we know it, lockdown of social media sites, etc. - none of them all that simple and miss the point enshittification has.

Yes, yes it does. You xit xeets on the xitter.

I prefer xitter

OpenAI says it's impossible to create useful AI models without copyrighted material

Good riddance, then just don't.

What about privacy and bloat? Do you really need an integrated big-brother Clippy again? There's a reason they got rid of that annoying little bugger 20-ish years ago. Even killed Cortana. How many failed experiments more do we need?

If you need AI writing, you have it in Edge or on the ChatGPT site. Will they add AI to settings to help you turn on all the bloat and tracking for you?

Like just give me my damn control panel which has a working search feature (unlike, say, Settings)

Complaining in and of itself isn't bad. Hell, a bug report is a complaint and it's very much useful. As are feature requests. Whining definitely isn't good, but complaints can and often are useful, warranted and lead to a positive outcome

There might be a few, but you're always free to change your career if you want. You're very much not free to just leave peison.

Nothing against gamification, but when they added lives about two years after they said they never will I lost any and all trust I had in them.

Not only are they insanely long, MS strategically doesn't follow its own specs in places so other software using the specs "fuck up formatting" even if they follow MS's specs perfectly.

They are all webkit-based, but they can add their own integrations like Google account login for Chrome or Firefox Sync. So it would still be benificial to boycott if you reasonably can and are willing, especially with the recent App store developments Apple might even be forced to open up browsers as well.

Just try to look at the sky at night. Most places in the world you won't see the stars and yet no one complains too much about the visual pollution

I mean you're not wrong, but it kind of skips a lot of in-between steps.

They aren't meant for public roads, just like Teslas.

But shell makes jobs for a million Bobs! And then Bobs are doing something useful for society! /s

I foresaw the trademark thing About the thing about Disney claiming that because they used Steamboat Willie Mickey in more recent woks they can still claim copyright protections on elements of Mickey Mouse that were a thing in Steamboat Willie, I really don't think copyright works like that.

Mickey in Steamboat Willie just looks... odd.

The 'normal' Mickey is still under copyright so not a lot was gained through Steambiat Willie losing copyright protection.
