Arnel Šarić Sharan :verified:Final stage of <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittification</a> of Meta products, they added Meta AI to WhatsApp.I already use <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/signal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#signal</a>, but I think I will now start a campaign to get close friends and family to switch. This can't be tolerated anymore. I hope EU do something about this.<a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/whatsapp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#whatsapp</a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meta</a> <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/MetaAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MetaAI</a>

Veronica Olsen 🏳️‍🌈🇳🇴🌻Hah!Periodically, Google will push these bragging notifications about all the new "great features" they've added to my Android phone. I usually flip through the presentation, like I did just now.Except none of it actually *is* on my phone, because as soon as I bought it back in 2021, I disabled the Google app, and later hard-deleted it using the Android Developer Tools. So clicking on any of it just takes me to the Play Store.I WIN 😁<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Google</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Android</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Enshittification</a>

Jonathan KamensI have basically spent the entire day today fighting with technology in one way or another, all because the vast majority of tech we are forced to interact with on a daily basis is enshittified crap, and I am so, so tired. <a href="https://federate.social/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittification</a>

Working Class GamesWas trying a duckduckgo search for a restaurant in town, and I clicked on a link to read it, then came back to the search results. Suddenly a bunch of links disappeared and the first two links were now tripadvisor.I selected hide site from these results and immediately a tripadvisor link from another url (different country) pops up. I kind of kept going and hiding about 15 results and new tripadvisor links kept popping up. This went on until "Search query entered was too long. Please shorten and try again."So is this a bing-underneath thing, or direct enshittification of duckduckgo?This is while using uBlockOrigin, but that didn't help, I didn't see any way that the ads differed from the normal links either.<a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/search" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#search</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/searchEngine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#searchEngine</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#enshittification</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/adsAdsEverywhere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#adsAdsEverywhere</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/duckDuckGo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#duckDuckGo</a>

And it never happens 100%, people like their locality.In contrast, even though digital infrastructure is decentral, it has come to pass that centralization is somehow easier and more natural.
