A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Enshitification is in full force
I am here for it if the result is less ads and platforms in the hands of users and volunteers.
Yeah what is it with 2023 and enshittification? This has been such a bad year in general
I'm guessing venture capitalists trying to reel in some profits after racing to outspend each other. I expect many services to implode.
A lot of tech companies grew unreasonably fast during the COVID lockdowns, and assumed their new traffic patterns were permanent. Couple that with a general global recession, and you've got companies that overextended themselves, desperate to make some money back before people realize the emperor has no clothes
That would make sense
