We really gotta come up a with new name for this.

Opt in for now. Just wait for that to change. Once the decent down the slippery slope to enshittification starts it rarely ends.

Enshittification comes for everything eventually in a world where profits are number one.
In a sensible world this would just be a resource that is subsidized by some education grant or something like that. But we dont live in a sensible world.

Idk why I get incel vibes from this post but I can’t shake it.

Sweet we’re gonna have systems that not even humans can work on because they didn’t design them? What could possibly go wrong?

Every company?
Vertical integration is an extension of capital’s desire to completely capture any competition into one giant monopoly of possible. Vertical integration allows companies to gain functional monopolies over large parts of an industry usually by buying out the companies that make up the parts.
In this context its the companies that the biggest ones driving development pipelines. Microsoft has become incredibly potent here by buying companies that make up some of the most common development practices for some of the most popular programming languages. As a web dev, Microsoft owns NPM which is where my packages are stored and published, they design the languages I write my software in, in buying Github they own where my code lives and builds as well as their artifacts, they build both editors I use to do the lion share of my work. Then they own the operating system I am mostly commonly accessing these tools from. Because they own all these parts they can make friction between them incredibly low and make every other competing option look frustrating and less polished thus harming adoption and further solidfying their functional monopoly in the absence of it being written out explicitly under just one entity.

Enshittification comes for everything eventually. Such are the “innovations” of capitalism.
Gross. I wonder how this compares to the spyware Microsoft is doing with Windows and if that’s part of why it’s Mac only.
Are Mac users harder to farm data with and this is a path to drain them of useful info?

Uh oh my precious AI bubble!

This is actually a super awesome feature. N8N continues to be one of my most solid and important self hosted services!

The headlines are always conveniently like this on the paywalled articles

Cloudflare crypto? Is this indicative of Cloudflare enshitifying now?
It sounds like you just want more RSS feeds…which I’m pretty onboard with actually now that I think about it. Give me the freedom to consume the internet how I want.
IP and copyright law is just used to stifle creativity and steal. Fuck Spotify.
