Another essential web function #enshittified
I use MT cadastral - https://svc.mt.gov/msl/cadastral - every day for my job. It is a service of the Montana public library system, and shows publicly available property records.
Today it required an ArcGIS login, and none of the maps work.
I can't see the state-provided data the state says I need to use to perform a service for the state.
@santi yikes...
This is why I use @monocles / #monoclesSearch because that's not #enshittified that hard...
On Monday, #whatsapp said it would start showing advertising inside its app for the first time... Video by #meta
It’s literally the best time to switch to #signal

@rl_dane I wished @frameworkcomputer would do this too, because #Lenovo has #enshittified the #ThinkPad brand so hard and refused to support me with a #P15v (alongside #Canonical #Intel & #Fibocom with regards to getting the #850GL / #XMM7360-based #WWAN working on this €3,5k+ "#UbuntuCertified" System) that I'm gonna go with a #Framework once my #X230Tablet dies.
Bruh this isn't a #competition anymore, but a public execution of how #enshittified devices get just with #Windows instead of #Linux on.
custom 1337hax0r gentoo config optimized to maximize battery life!
Ist es nicht schön wenn #Mozilla mit Produkten wirbt die entweder an die Community [ @thunderbird / #Thunderbird ] übergeben, #enshittified [ #Firefox ] oder eingestampft werden [ #Pocket & #FakeSpot ]....

The Great #Hallucination
What happens when you can no longer trust anything?
Daniel #Pinchbeck
..."While the hallucination problem is getting worse for unknown reasons, the world‘s most powerful #technology companies such as Google and Microsoft rush to insert #AI agents and Chatbots in almost everything. The whole #Internet is being rapidly reconfigured – #enshittified – around AI. We now know that AI is incredibly unreliable. Instead of this pro"...
@FediFollows or even if tools like @kdenlive ain't fitting, at least consider #OneTimePurchase #CCSS (i.e. #DaVinchiResolve) instead of #enshittified #Subscription-only #SaaS!
Cool. Canon Camera Connect was apparently #enshittified some time in the last months 
What, before, was a bearable app to remotely control my camera's shutter and note importantly check the viewfinder is now a piece of garbage I will not touch again.
Time to dust off my old remote shutter cable, I guess. FFS.
@kobilacroix @katja I use a #ThinkPad-style #Trackpoint integrated in the 65% #Keyboard but since #Lenovo #enshittified that, #TEX is selling good alternatives...
And yes, I'm mad the KU-1255 was discontinued for a 3x expensive version just so Lenovo doesn't have to offer a wired version and a bluetooth version.
If you can, try a trackpoint espechally when you're more typing than mousing...
I like that somebody’s giving building an OS with the web front and center another shot. I always liked ChromeOS conceptually, but… it was #enshittified This one’s open source.

I've written a couple of connected blog posts across my blogs today, about my anger and frustration at Big Tech and LLMs wrecking open communities and making the Dark Forest internet more likely. Hopefully this isn't just me but it's been bottled up for a bit.
The angry part is over here: https://alextheward.com/blog/big-tech-is-wrecking-community/
The "What am I doing about it" part is here: https://cthonicstudios.com/ttrpgs-as-community-as-technology-backslides/
@marcel keine Ahnung.
#XING ist schon schwer seitdem es durch #Feature-#Rückbau #enshittified wurde!
The latest #Pebble blog post reminds me of why I’m backing this project: https://ericmigi.com/blog/gratitude-and-faq
On the one hand, Pebble proved to the world that smartwatches are a thing, and now there are several out there, but most are slick, locked-down things.
The new Pebble is a scrappy, tiny company, building a watch that is specifically open-source, extensible and repairable, with the visible-in-sunlight screen and massive battery life I love. It's nicely anti-#enshittified…
@david yeah, every #car after 2016 is #enshittified like that!
Does it also nag you about databsharing like a #Peugeot2008 ?

Here's yet another reason never to use #hp products again: They've #enshittified their phone support by adding an arbitrary 15-minute wait before they'll deign to talk to you.

@Setok @tuomas_h It was better in the early days of Android, but now it is #enshittified too.
What we really need is #LinuxPhone or #SailFish or other #OpenSource phone OS.
I really need to spend more time investigating, but it's a rabbit hole I really don't have time for right now.
@dgoldsmith @ErinInTheMorn pressing X for doubt on the latter claim...
#RSS still exist tho...
I am on the verge of buying an e-ink screen for an #esp32 board and start a vendetta against #garmin by making a foretrex of my own that will be used as an #aprs/lora and whatnot terminal besides navigation.
While #foretrex is still the least #enshittified device Garmin makes, it having bluetooth and can do crap with it drives me crazy. My radio, my gps, my pc have BT and non can talk to each other.
What do you think?
I had a beautiful long walk, I convinced some friends to migrate to Signal, and I’m getting closer to fasing out #enshittified email accounts. The latter is the hardest but Opt Out directions from @cyberlyra help enormously. All in all, a good day (tm) https://www.optoutproject.net/tags/cleanse/
