@david yeah, every #car after 2016 is #enshittified like that!

Does it also nag you about databsharing like a #Peugeot2008 ?

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)Attached: 1 image RANT: Yet another reason why I'll never buy a new car in my life - I had a rental (#Peugeot2008) which is one of these garbage *"#Crossover" / #SuperUselessVehicles* that are *PHAT* outside but crammed af inside due to a needlessly *W I D E* center console and barely adjustable driver seat and steering wheel. - This car is basically impossible to reverse without staring at it's backup camera as it has a giant-ass deadzone behind it. - It's shitty front allows children to hide even easier than the rear and makes parking even more stressful But what made my blood boil is the obnoxiousness with which it's shitty tablet decided to randomly (!), whilst driving >50km/h to just pop up a demand for #tracking bs, offering only "allow" and "later" instead of a "no thanks" / "don't ask me again" option. - Shit like this can literally *kill* people as they fiddle around trying to dismiss it. - I had it pop up 2x (!) within 5 mins (!!) on the same (!!!) trip [not pulling ignition key!] And at the 2nd time decided to pull over to document this shit. This kind of #Enshittification in the form of a #Car comitting an *"Exhaustion Attack"* against it's *own driver* needs to be outlawed, not mandated!

@jon switching away from big tech is a long process for me. Switching web browser was easy. I ditched facebook, messenger and twitter years ago, when those services became #enshittified beyond a threshold acceptable to me.
I left WhatsApp (last meta service) weeks ago. This was hard. I've been using Signal for years, but most of my family and friends still don't.
Leaving Google is a project by itself. My private and professional life got very entangled with it. But I'm nearly there! :)

Let's try this again. 😅

"There needs to be a word for rejection of #enshittified corporate tech in favour of open tech with no agenda beyond its nominal function.

The term 'neo-Luddism' doesn't feel right.

Any suggestions?"
@flockofnazguls

Original thread that brought up a couple options. I like that #FediPunk also includes supporting #Fediverse artists. What do you think?

@ustralien So yeah I am sad that @frameworkcomputer didn't work out a deal with like #Sprintek to get a #Trackpoint into the #FrameworkLaptop and I'm pissed that #Lenovo discontinued their #ThinkPad #TrackPoint Keyboard for a new and #enshittified version that cost double the price of the #Bluetooth and triple the #wired version before and is #WirelessOnly aka. can't even be used via #USB without a shitty #dongle, making it basically impossible for me to use.

Needless to say I'd still see #Framework & #Fairphone as the only options on the market right now if I had to buy stuff that is available right now!

@ustralien Sadly no, and that's my big disappointment!

@frameworkcomputer decided to choose the #Apple-esque "flat cells below #trackpad" design in the unreasonable #THINN-ness race instead of doing what even the #EeePC and #Sony's #Vaio #P11Z did and have a slot at the back to chug in batteries!

  • I know why they did it, as a closed aluminium pan aka. "#lunchbox" design is easier to fabricate, but I'd rather some #ToolfreeSwappableBattery which are IMHO of more practicality than having the ability to swap out every port.

Not that I don't like those #modules, but I'd rather wish for a "#THICC-er" device if that gets me essentials like #Ethernet, #USB-A & -C as well as a #TRRS #HeadphoneJack / #HeadsetJack.

That being said the #Framework is still by a long margin the "least #enshittified" device on the market, and same goes for the #Fairphone devices...

Not to mention they don't have an #UltraNav-Style #Trackpoint and I do use that instead of a Trackpad.

@briankrebs guess why?

These kids see how the world gets #enshittified and how #HonestLabour pays diddly piss whilst #billionaires make more money breathibg than their parents working 40+ hrs/week.

  • OFC they gonna realize that #CrimePays when #Banksters robbed their parents off their homes in 2008.

It's hard to be angry at them when they are more relatable than the #CryptoBros they robbed.

  • Not gonna justify said crime, even if it's #WhiteCollar, but #Lapsus being sentenced for life is an injustice!

They observed how #capitalism and #banks work and then applied those lessions for maximum profit cuz apparently nothing but #money matters...

  • Whilst I'm legally obligated to condemn said action, that doesn't mean I can't relate to them even tho I have the luxury to object doing crime as a means to make ends meet...

@briankrebs +9001%

I've seen how #tumblr got #enshittified and how #Musk ruined #Twitter into #Shitter...

  • I'm not gonna do the same mistake again!

"#Fediverse or #GTFO!" should be the motto, cuz only truly #decentralized #SocialMedia and Communications will survive...

Everything else, regardless if #TikTok, #Threads or #Discord will die like #ICQ before, whilst we'll all be able to use #ActivityPub, #IRC, #XMPP-#OMEMO and #PGP/MIME-encrypted #eMail forever...

Holy fuck.

If you ever need an example of how search has devolved into absolute dogshit, try searching for “is it bad if my cat eats cardboard?”.

Every result you get is going to be #enshittified #AI-written slop meant to keep you on the page as long as possible while it serves you a flurry of ads, useless videos, and pop-ups looking to harvest your personal data.

I don’t need a 1200 word treatise on the evolution of the instinctual drives of Felis Catus, a simple yes or no will do. 🤦‍♂️
