‘Enshittification’ is coming for absolutely everything::The term describes the slow decay of online platforms such as Facebook. But what if we’ve entered the ‘enshittocene’?

It was coming for absolutely everything since 2013 at least.

I will never forget the day when Creative Suite was no longer a thing. I will never forget the day when Apple flattened iOS. I will never forget the day when the Xbox One was announced.

Can you believe their modern products are basically a continuation of what they started back in 2013? This is why it's the worst year of all time.

Oh man we should really do a review of the most recent worst year limited to just the last 200 years or else we are competing with the black Plague or the final boss of 536 C.E.

Everyone would be talking about... certain events related to WW2.

Thanks a lot, mustache man.

Hmmm touche... Men with mustaches are gonna be a lot of years sticking points if we cast that big of a net. It's shocking how nice things were on the base level the last few decades in terms of mass deaths.

Does feel like we are priming ourselves for a whallop though. So maybe worst foreshadowing year? Or worst step back year in the last 100 years?

[–] Twitches@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

We would have to look at death percentages to population numbers. We might just have more people dying because of population is larger. Dieing of stupid shit has to be higher.

This got me thinking for a bit.

I'm guessing these last two statements are kinda correct.

You leave Charlie Chaplin out of this.

Not that mustache man, the Austrian one who knows how to paint. I think he has a friend that wanted to "conquer Asia" or something.

We have been shockingly stagnant for some time now but it's been creeping for a while now. Decades of slow but building shittiness.

The initial investment and machines put in motion and more and more the only goal was to scrape as much profitability from them.

Now that the tech is struggling to advance in meaningful leaps and bounds that the populace can easily be pushed into following cause it truly just keeps getting better we are really in the shit zone. But Companies have realized they are so big that your options are work with them for whatever scraps they feel like giving, or don't work at all cause who else is there.

No wonder why nobody really tried to make neomorphism big
