Nate GaylinnThe hardest part of switching email providers is updating all the sites, apps, and services that have my old address. Everybody wants an email address these days, and they all manage it differently, so it's on me to figure out how to update each one.Some are easy. Others are not! An alarming number use my email as my login and won't let me change it at all. Some of those further won't let me delete my account, so I guess they'll have my old address forever. Some sites, like Patreon and Steam, seem to support this, but when I used their update email form, it simply didn't work! I had to contact customer service.It's a lot of tedious work, but realizing now how my identity was shared across a vast network of sites who don't handle that with respect, I'm reassured that it's worth the effort.New rule of thumb: only actual people get my personal address. Everyone else gets a secondary address / alias that keeps different facets of my life separate.<a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/degoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#degoogle</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/enshitification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#enshitification</a>

Andrew Graves :arch: :linux:<a href="https://fosstodon.org/@mike" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@mike</a> Well you gotta choose/support with your wallet.E.g. Kobo ebook readers allow you to even circumvent the sign up process and sideload a third party ebook reader (in my case <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Koreader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Koreader</a>) which performs better and has better functionality.I think there will always be a market for people that want non-smart devices. But I think when it comes to cars it's pretty bad in this regard.I have the luxury of not needing a car, but the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/enshitification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#enshitification</a> is pretty bad, I reckon.

Kate HildenbrandAnother company lost to AI. Wanted to order toilet paper from a brand that claims to be social and sustainable.Well, they changed their entire support system to AI.I had an issue with their Googel (bad enough...) address completion during the order. It claimed my address was invalid. So, I reached out to support and received a response from an AI bot which, unsurprisingly, wasn't helpful at all.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/noAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#noAI</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/enshitification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#enshitification</a>

AllpointsI know we all intuitively realize Google search has gone to crap. As yet another example, I just did a quick search for "pet shops near <location>". I got grocery stores, liquor stores, coffee shops and a sponsored ad for Petco. None of the three actual pet stores near me showed up (not counting the sponsored ad for Petco). I also got a suggestion to search for pet stores on Reddit, FFS. In short, totally useless.Sadly, I can't think of a better option.<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BigTech</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/enshitification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#enshitification</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Google</a>

RaymondPierreL3Seems to me that any <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> remotely usefull to society is just an orchestrated bunch of <a href="https://aus.social/tags/DataMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataMining</a> tools applied to a very specific set(s) of data. Unlike the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/GAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GAI</a> slop pushed out by <a href="https://aus.social/tags/TechBros" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TechBros</a> which is anything but data mining; it is just absolutely useless, voracious and mind numbing shite. /rant_end <a href="https://aus.social/tags/enshitification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#enshitification</a>

ZauberlehrlingLook I know I am very cynical, but is there really any doubt about which direction this is going to go? "Bottom line: Bottom line: GenAI can cut corners or improve care, but not both. It can boost profits or improve lives, but not both.

Kroc CamenOh for goodness sake. The studies show that AI is, at best, no gain in productivity and at worst actively harmful to code cleanliness and security.

Tofu MusubiI really appreciate links to articles based outside the US. Seeing websites from other countries shows very clearly how homogenized US websites and mass media have become. Everything in the US, even personal websites, seem to be designed and written to appeal to algorithms, not people. So much effort is poured into profitability and clicks rather than clarity. <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/enshitification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#enshitification</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#technology</a>
