    When y’all are so out of ideas your new idea is selling computing as a utility/service

    Enshitiffication is too nice of a word, too fancy, too classy and eloquent of a word

    This is just lazy horse shit

    It’s not even a process of making it shit slowly like a frog being cooked alive by gradually making the temperature hot

    Now it’s just the bottom falling out

    The lack of any decent idea has become an accomplishment

    Making things worse is progress now

    Shareholders who don’t even understand fuck all about functionality, security or contextual use awareness are now steering the collective ship of consumer technology into some kind of shit dimension

    An asteroid belt of sheer bullshit, horse shit and God knows what other kinds of shit

    The shit stank is monumental and I can’t even plug my nose to try to ignore it anymore

    I don’t wanna become Amish but I also don’t want to exist in a world with not only this kind of insulting cash grabbing technology whoding nonsense but so many other ridiculous unnecessarily wasteful ills and evils that it makes me head want to explode

      The one solace I have is that the people who are 100% in on this are also the people who were 100% in on the metaverse and that was always obvious to me that it was going to fail.

      I do believe this is all going to fail. They’ve worked harder to propagandise me into uncertainty about that with the collective delusion they’re trying to enforce but I still believe it will all fail.

      I still can’t believe they put ads on default Microsoft MinesweeperTM. And apparently that started 10 years ago

      Im too lazy to find it but someone posted a cartoon from the 80s where that really horny Crumb guy drew a line of people queued up for the IBM Thinking Machine and it said “the future that’s coming” and it was basically them doing this
