❓️Have you noticed that digital products and services are getting worse? So have we!

➡️We have published a report about enshittification, on how and why digital products and services keep getting worse - and how we can turn the trend (hint: open tech, enforcement, public policy++)

Obviously @pluralistic is a big inspiration and help in this work.

More than 80 groups in Europe and the US has joined in a call to action.

Enjoy this short film!

That's why FOSS is like the only real way to avoid enshittification. There is less of a profit incentive. And if the original team or project sells out forks are always an option. Sadly even with traditional hardware item or household machines things are created in a way were they break after a few years once they're out of warranty so you have replacement. On that note there's a stream of a light bulb that's more than a hundred years old and still continuously running

the Norwegian Consumer Council has delved into enshittification and how to resist it.

To every political entity in the world: Be more like Norway.

WIth that guy, it would be a shittifinator.

[–] Thorry@feddit.org 33 points 3 days ago

It would be funny if it wasn't absolutely true for anything and everything

I was hoping for it to end with "go opensource". But well, that would be asking for too much.

MAKE IT SHITTY!

This makes me so proud to be Norwegian! (Which hasn’t been easy lately 😅)

This makes me even less proud of sweden even tho im an immigrant. I like this country but sadly i cant love it in its current state.

Why is that? Other than not winning any curling medals 😁

I am guessing it has to do with the royal family. One of the kids assaulted and raped girls if I recall correctly and the princess has ties to Epstein

[–] Solumbran@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

I mean, if you have a royal family, you're asking for this shit

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 5 points 3 days ago

well I don't think there is a country in the world that isn't tied to Epstein in someway. Maybe Chad? So it's a world-wide shame really.
