Microsoft should go macro-shaft themselves.

Was McDonalds ever cheap in the first place?

Yes, but framing is important. Saying “Oh look what our perfect corporate buddies over at Taylor let us do even though it’s their call” (a huge lie btw.) vs. saying “We finally got this victory, we can finally do part of what we should’ve never have been unable to do due to corporate greed, thank you Taylor for getting some sense, it seems like your scrooges still have some semblance of a soul left” is a big difference. As always, the truth is somewhere in between these two extremes. However, I’m inclned to lean towards the latter more than the former on the spectrum.

Yes. Just as entering through an unlocked door isn’t trespassing.

Most of the sources also have copyright notices the model gobbles up, effectively making it more like trespassing and taking the no trespassing sign home as a souvenir.

In a few years they’ll charge you monthly for the priviledge of using/knowing what it collected on you.

So they’re not charging anything?

I was wondering, what makes the modem that hard to replace?

I get that the embedded systems in cars are complex works of engineering, but I don’t see why there can’t be some sort of standardized physical interface akin to OBDII to be used to ‘upgrade’ the modem.

It’s not twitter it’s Xitter!

Still, Steam probably has some clause in their developer agreement where they say that’s not on them.

Also, they have to move off the road if space permits to let piled up traffic overtake, at least in Austria.

30 mph is almost 50 km/h. In most of Europe the default maximum speed limit inside of populated areas is 50 km/h.

Default meaning artillery roads like this one can and almost always do have higher limits than 50, but the defsult maximum suddenly becoming the minimum makes no sense.

A road that isn’t physically barricaded from foot trafic akin to a highway has no reason to have a minimum speed limit over 15 mph (30 km/h), if at all.

Even its name is full of shit. a hallucination

There, fixed it for you.

Not really. Showing ads and gobbling up data is Google Search’s core functionality, and JS is indispensible for that.

A game you paid for. On a console you also paid for. And you also pay for PS Plus as well.

I swear I’ve seen this meme somewhere with a Cybertruck instead of a Wrangler

Meta … can’t guarantee “what a third-party provider does with sent or received messages.”

If an employer can’t ‘afford’ to pay you properly he shouldn’t run a business.

Yeah. ‘Decay’ has a natural whiff to it, while ‘enshittification’ reeks of it being actively made that way.

Thanks, never heard of it & will switch to it myself!

Just as short and not as inappropriate.

Honest question: What are the alternstives?

I agree that enshittification is a, well, shitty term, but I know obly it to describe the problem at hand.

Alternstives I think of are walled gardens, collapse of the internet as we know it, lockdown of social media sites, etc. - none of them all that simple and miss the point enshittification has.
