What is enshittification?
The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
The lifecycle of Big Internet
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
Embrace, extend and extinguish
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

I have a 5 year old android phone that I'm super happy with (OLED screen, cameras on par with current phones, 2 day battery life etc.). Apart from the fact that google has started to kill it. E.g they won't allow banking apps to be installed, because it's android 11. So One+ was one of the brands on the shortlist for my next phone. Guess they're off now.
They were off mine since ColorOS ruined my 7 pro.
Who besides Google even makes a decent Android phone these days? :/
I'm confused, I have a OnePlus 13 and it says I'm running 16.0.2.403
There isn't an update available at this time. So should I just not update if prompted?
