Phone used to do that. Disappeared a couple of major updates ago. #Enshitification.

YouTube continues to be user hostile. If you go to settings and turn off Video previews (Video previews will play when you hover over thumbnails) and uncheck Always show captions, those settings will revert the very next time you load YouTube.
The enshitification of the Web continues…

Die #Enshitification kostenloser Webdienste geht immer weiter. Ein herzliches Willkommen an alle #Plex-Nutzer bei #Jellyfin! Es wird Zeit, mehr darüber zu schreiben. Ich nutze Jellyfin nun seit über zwei Jahren und könnte nicht glücklicher sein!

Enshitification of the internet has led to the "Chuggerverse"
I caught struthless for the first time today discussing Internet Fatigue and it really struck a chord for me. I highly recommend giving this a watch if you feel frustrated with the lack of user left in the UX of the chuggerverse today.

#AI #Enshitification – ...und das nächste viele Jahre genutzte Programm, dass wegen KI-Zwang und „wir nutzen fürs LLM-Training dann deine Daten, da hast du sicher nichts gegen. Wenn doch, kannst du ganz einfach... deinen Account löschen, aber das machst du ja nicht.“
Äh, doch.
Macht er tatsächlich.
Und das sehr konseuqent.
Bye bye, #Todoist
All this AI shit is reminding me of the turn of century pragmatisms we went through where people don't question anything.
First of all, they've creating the fucking problem.
Like in 1999 when no one knew what was going to happen. Well, India, and other countries made out with it more than we think. Offshore Tech support and economics played a huge role in securing the unknown.
Another was the #enshitification of incandescent vs. LED use-cases. Hydro rates were compensated for the deflection

They also charge developers for access to the API you are already paying for in your ever increasing subscription price.

Pro-Tipp für alle, denen die #KI #Enshitification auf die Nerven geht: Aktuelle Web-Browser sind sehr gute #PDF-Reader, selbst auf Mobiltelefonen. Beim Lesen von PDF-Dateien muss man sich nicht von Adobe-Reader-KI-Spam drangsalieren lassen. Einfach den Browser als Standard-App für PDFs einstellen.
Looks like #biscuitApp has started it's journey to #enshitification
Was free - give us your #pet #dog walk data and we'll send you shopping vouchers
Now - monthly subscription or the value of walks cut off at the knee
#AI was never made to serve the people. It was made to cut costs for corporations. The valuation of OpenAI and its ilk was never calculated based on the amount of good and tangible wealth it could produce. Rather it’s based entirely, as if colluded on behind sealed doors, on the amount of money corporations would save on payroll, taxes, overtime, bonuses, benefits and insurance.
#Classwar knows no bounds and #Enshitification is but a symptom of a more sinister pathology.
And there’s only one way to stop it. #Unionize #unions #union

Its time to cut your losses and uninstall Duolingo, they are shoving AI in and firing people:
Dependabot alerts into email are just engagement farming, rather than an actually useful service.
#AI #Enshitification Devoloper says: »It’s not currently possible to remove the AI icon from the [paid!] Editor.« 🤡
Read: »We don't want to remove the AI icon, 'cause if we just shove it down your throat often and annoyingly enough in every possible and impossible point of the editor and the framework, maybe and hopefully you'll get so sick of it that you'll say: “Fck it, I'll just pay the dollars, but then this crap won't annoy me everywhere anymore.” And ca$$$hing - we got what we wanted.« 😇
Bin echt nicht sicher, was ich mir davon verspreche, noch auf Schrottplattformen wie #LinkedIn zu sein. Beruflich kommt da gar nichts rum, was einen irgendwie weiter bringen würde. Einfach schlecht.
Is there a single damned search engine left that respects advanced search parameters like -octogon, filetype, etc? Seriously, they way things are going, I'm starting to miss gopher.
Yep. Programmers, er, I mean, *high-tech software warriors* have been bribed into not unionizing for *way* more than the two decades this article implies. Is it too late to unionize? Probably not, but don't say it too loudly in your open-cubicle tech-farm software-milking stall or they'll "put you out to pasture", if you know what I mean.

The second a platform becomes a viable avenue for advertisement is when it stops being viable for any kind of quality.
Not that AI does a lot good at that, anyway.
Here is how ad agencies are working hard to make sure you see ads in ChatGPT responses

Speaking of #enshitification , the #shop app from #shopify is a nice piece of work. Buy something from vendor X, and now I need to install borderline malware that requests access to email, phone, notifications, finances just to give me a *()_ing tracking id for the package. Could have been an email.
