Despite being chronically online, I only learned recently that @pluralistic had published his latest book, #Enshittification. And because he is a great communicator, his 16-minute interview with #RonnyChieng on #TheDailyShow to talk about the book and the wider topic is very accessible. I guess I now have yet another book on my ever-lengthening reading list.

For us fans he obviously doesn't say much we haven't heard before* - but it's still a wonderful hi-speed tour de force through the topic for newbies & normies & as such, enormously important exposure 🙌👍😊

💩 What a shite world outside, with geopolitics and big tech.

☀️ What we can do is see the brighter side. All this is far beyond mere #enshittification. That also means that people far beyond dev circles will be highly discontent with all these developments. Which opens plenty niches for #commons based initiatives to eat into previously Big Tech occupied areas, AI crapware, and cloud jailor market space. Dire situations makes radical progressive #change possible.

💪 Shine bright, fellow fedizens!

@WeirdWriter I find Tidal to be wonderfully clutter-free, simple, and intuitive.

With that said, the Spotify algorithm is unbeatable. If you want to listen to good music without thinking about it, it worked great for me. Anywhere else I feel like I don’t know that I really want to listen to unless I make an effort to choose a track/album/playlist.

Still, I see this as the awful degenetation of my agency after 10 years of enshittifying algorithm. I am so glad I switched. I broke free.
