This is the lifecycle of so much software. Particularly chat programs spring to mind, old chat program becomes bloated and horrible to use, new chat program is focused, streamlined, does its job as a chat program and maintains the most important part - convenience - as priority.
Fast forward and the program has become bloated. Its purpose for existing has been forgotten.
New chat program appears and displaces it by being everything that it used to be.
That time is coming for Android. With its original purpose now no longer being filled there is a gap open, all it takes is something to successfully fill it while maintaining convenience as a priority.
Wait no thats not what protista is, right? Like that doesnt seem true.
Protista is a specific thing in 19th century biology and today and it is not "the primary living cell". Its a type of eukaryote that is neither plant, fungus or animal. It is a sort of genetic midpoint with ill defined borders. When Engels wrote this it was even more nebolously defined with various competing definitions, but I believe the most common was something akin to "something that is alive and isnt a plant or an animal".
He's basically saying from tiny insiginificant lifeforms to humans.
Idk, you're the doctor or something, tell Stalin that he was wrong.
I would but stalin wont answer my calls.
Dear Stalin, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin'
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
That seems like a dangerous proposition.
So basically, enshittification is dialectical. Fascinating.
You have to appreciate the way google does it. Where they introduce an app, make it shitty, and then make their own replacement app that is slightly worse than the thing it is replacing used to be.
