Like many, I'm stocking my faves on physical media, thanks to the #enshittification of streaming.

Night Watch is incredible – a Russian flick with parallels to X-Men and the Matrix, though less glamorous; it's grimy and visceral, clever, and very morally curious. The ancient forces of Light & Dark really feel like they live in the real world, and it's gorgeous too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Watch_(2004_film)

My favorite bit on this watch: a centuries-old guy in a city office, doodling marginalia like a monk.


Here's my take on the #enshittification of internet technology over the 2010s, based on the word @pluralistic coined. I've added "developer enshittification" to the mix (see: React). https://cybercultural.com/p/enshittification/

However, I do end on a note of optimism: the decentralized web as represented by the fediverse, Mastodon and potentially Bluesky. "It's a new world for those who have chosen to leave the Enshittocene behind them. Won't you join us?"


TBH, "NoCode" is just yet another buzzword that's being swung around by TechBros aka. VC scammers because at best it's a simple UI-Builder like that of Microsoft Access 2000 and at worst it's a shitty bespoke SaaS with an absurd syntax and less skill transferability than Scratch!

I feel you, brother: #gambling is highly #addictive, so be careful! And the #gamblification and #enshittification of #videoGames is a plague we face each passing day with every new #gacha shit sprouting to life 💔

When you search for “mastodon” in the iPhone App Store, the top result is an ad for Truth Social #enshittification



> Crunchyroll will not support Funimation's digital copy content. Funimation provided digital copies as part of some home video DVD or Blu-ray Disc purchases.

RIP digital copies. If you want them, don’t buy digital unless you can download anything without DRM attached. Always get physical copies of what you want to own.

or sail the seven seas.

I guess #unity has decided to jump on the #enshittification bus along with #twitter, #reddit, and all the others.


Read why "Web Environment Integrity" is terrible, and why we must vocally oppose it now. Google's latest maneuver, if we don't act to stop it, threatens our freedom to explore the Internet with browsers of our choice: https://u.fsf.org/40a #EndDRM #Enshittification #Google #WebStandards


Happy Enshittification Day! 💥

July 1, 2023: Reddit cuts off API access, Twitter requires login, Youtube may ban ad-blockers, Meta & Google block news in Canada...

A half-year since Cory Doctorow's seminal thesis on #enshittification, how corporate platforms die (https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys), and every corporate site seems hell bend on its own destruction.

Celebrate #EnshittificationDay by going to [instance address]/about, find the donations link, and make your contribution to open social media!
