When was this done? Because Windows has already been enshitified.

That's it.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Uhh I think windows was the first of them all lol
Windows 7 was the last good windows OS, I will die on this hill
10 was great but definitely shitted out with tracking BS you have to disable.
10 was already deep into hiding settings and fragmenting the control panel.
11 is much worse.
and what's gonna happen with 12?
It wouldn't be impossible that 12 is an improvement. 10 was an improvement on 8. I think, as always, it'll never go back to a truely good OS, we will just get used to the crap bits.
I think windows is too entrenched in it's own version history to make good again. You'd need to start from scratch which simply won't happen within the windows brand.
I think we can hold this hill. I still have a machine running 7.
Netflix is leaning hard into trying to make you watch anything other than what you want to watch. This is such a weird obsession of tech companies. Websites do it all the time. I'm trying to read an article and they keep shoving pictures and links to other articles all over the middle of what I'm reading. Oh, and when I get half way through, they refresh the page so the can show me more things I'm not interested in. Fucking wankers.
TikTok proves it works and keeps people with low attention spans addicted and more likely to watch ads. This should become an unethical practice like pyramid schemes. If your website shows a high percentage of unrelated content, it should be seized by the government.
I think they do it because getting you to go to the thing is the point, not watch the thing. Once you've gone to the thing they just want you to go to the next thing. Watching the thing is just wasted time for them.
It probably has to do with maximizing your exposure to advertising.
I’m behind, how did Minecraft get enshittified? I catch the occasional stream and the game looks like it’s on another level from when I last played in like 2012
Java edition is still generally okay, but MS has been trying to cram it in the typical mobile game mold with a store and stuff. If MS had made Minecraft, we'd probably have item stacks of 10 or 100 rather than 64. :D
Windows is constantly getting worse, it came before Minecraft
NEFTLIX
Minecraft is still really good if you just ignore the fact that Bedrock exists
Modded Java is the way to go.
When Windows ME is older than most posters...
Literally all of those are still incredibly popular and one of the leaders in their respective space. Sure, they have been "enshittified", but not killed off by it yet. .
People do argue that Windows is in that process for so many years now.
August 1st 2012, to be precise.
I'm not the kind of person to say anything or anyone gave me the"ick", but that's exactly what Windows 8 did. And it's remained ever since..
Reddit is profitable for the first time ever
Lies. They've been hauling in the money for a long time. They just hid it better.
That should make the user experience better!
oh sweet summer child
Yeah, but you can still enjoy 1.7.10 + 1.12.2 not the same could be said for all the other things
I'm still bitter about the SSP/SMP merge. 1.2.5 runs so good.
Windows should be twice in this photo
What's your enshittification timeline? (Order is approximate)
Mine: Broadcast TV > Arcade Games > Usenet > Yahoo > Saturday Morning Cartoons > Email (spam) > Yahoo Groups > AAA games > Cable TV > Game Consoles > Talk Radio > Graphics Cards > Google Search > Twitch > YouTube > Reddit > Pinball > America
Google maps, Thinkpad and YouTube.
What happens to Maps?
Google started charging for the map api use of their service, there are ads in search and the ui is horrendous.
The one guy running altgrocery got charged hundreds of dollars because people flooded their website’s map in search of local independent grocers.
That’s why I’m on Organic maps instead now. It’s got 1% of the user base and 10.5% contributors as Google maps has. The UI is clean and the map is easy to contribute to.
