Especially annoying as more educational stuff is put online. You pause to look at a graph and surprise you can’t.

They’ve recently changed the behavior in the YouTube app so when you try to stop casting from your phone to a Chromecast (just about the only way I watch) you just sever your connection between phone and TV. The Chromecast will still be running YouTube and can be controlled by my TV remote. This death grip on the pixels on my screens is just… Sad.

Sony is doing this on their new Bravia line. The images are horrible. I took a big ass tv back for my money. All they want is to control and filter to “better”. It is not better.

What is enshittification?

The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source

The lifecycle of Big Internet

We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.

Embrace, extend and extinguish

We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.
