Microsoft's Authentication app prompting you to use the Authentication app for verification of an Authentication app sign-in is just a glorious example of Microsoft enshittification.

Indeed. Enshittification is when the company starts taking surplus from their users. So the situation you described is exactly that. It can, get worse when they also enshittify other users of their service.

Same with shareholders. Enshittification exists to please the mentally deranged shareholder who wants things to suck more.

Maher is trying to tell the truth? You one of those short sighted CTOs who only thinks to solve “low hanging fruit” and is therefore driving the enshittification of technology or did you read mediocre men and assume I meant good men too- I didn’t- Maher is not a truth teller, he is a broken watch.

FB had started sharing IG Reels and threads posts because apparently no one wants to use threads. However if you want to share a threads post you like, they demand you log into threads and share it that way. At which point I just give up. #Meta is truely #enshittification incarnate

An insanely-detailed, informative, and entertaining breakdown of the unholy polygamous marriage between corporate sociopaths, end-stage capitalism, and planned obsolescence. The AUDIOBOOK VERSION is especially good so far.

It’s your card, fix your ‘terminals’, please. I’ve had this card for forty years and now it’s starting to fail. The great enshittification of services continues.

Now that Doctorow has written a book on Enshittification I can teach my class on Frankfurt's Bullshit, Graeber's Bullshit Jobs, and Doctorow's book. The title? "Everything is Fucked up and Bullshit."
