Heads up to anyone using #AMD CPUs in a setting where Transparent Secure Memory Encryption (TSME) is critical: AMD has disabled this feature for consumer AMD products as of the latest AGESA updates. The feature is now only available for "PRO" CPU variants. https://arstechnica.com/security/2026/06/users-cry-foul-after-amd-stripped-memory-crypto-from-its-consumer-cpus/ #enshittification

Microslop’s new Outlook takes 10 seconds to do what Outlook Classic does instantly on Windows Clicking a Windows 11 notification for a new email is supposed to take you straight to that message. Instead, the new Outlook makes you wait, and the numbers are embarrassing. https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/06/15/microsofts-new-outlook-takes-10-seconds-to-do-what-outlook-classic-does-instantly-on-windows/ #Microslop #Microsoft #Outlook #Windows11 #enshittification #software #technology

Cześć! Moje krótkie bio znajdziecie na profilu. Dołączam do społeczności zainspirowany obecną lekturą #enshittification . Moja pierwsza próba kilka lat temu nie powiodła się (umarła śmiercią naturalną). Zobaczymy, jak pójdzie tym razem. Chętnie pogadam o #opensource #openhardware #sailing #solarpunk #diy #3dprinting itp. Czy jest ktoś z #Ostróda ? #introduction

As I was doing the intake for a migration from Windows 11 to a Linux (undecided which, although Mint is leading the charge), yesterday, I got to use Windows 11 for the first time in my life. Now, I heard so many times about just how bad Win11 is, but nothing could have prepared me for the absolute shit show that is Microsoft's modern OS. I honestly feel sorry for anyone who is forced to use it for any reason. Like, I think I might prefer using WindowsME over that. #Windows #Windows11 #Enshittification #LinuxMigration

Waymo dropped a passenger at the airport and drove off with his luggage in the trunk He had to fly to San Diego with no suitcase, no change of clothes, and no work notes. Waymo was "unable" to cover the cost of shipping the luggage. https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/sj-passenger-waymo-drove-off-luggage/4078004/ #Waymo #Google #enshittification #AI #autonomousvehicles #technology

…and Richard’s article is itself about how we’re in the anti-resilience waiting room for economic depression, in part because the tools at the Bank of Fucking England think that every financial pressure is a nail to be hit with an interest rate hammer. Instead of us taxing inflationary obscene wealth or doing anything at all to manage demand or accepting that there are in fact limits to what we’ve all been doing. It’s #enshittification anti-resilience all the way down folks #climateDiary

Controls (Modular World Anniversary Show performance [from the archives, 9 May 2021]). Originally performed and recorded for the Modular World 1st anniversary show (8-9 May 2021) which was a massive livestream event of 33+ hrs during the pandemic lockdowns. During the lockdown years, Modular World became one example of a fairly niche thing gathering people together worldwide to make experimental art online - when it was not possible to organize the usual small local performances - to create something positive and reach more people than they ever could individually. As the pandemic finally, thankfully, subsided, however, it seems that people went back to the enclosed local communities, and these types of global online communities lost their drive. Also the rapidly accelerating #enshittification cycle of the past few years has buried the visibility of these kinds of communities from all major social media platforms. Of course, as Cory Doctorow ( @pluralistic@mamot.fr ) has been pointing out for years, the enshittification of these platforms started much earlier. But somehow amid the pandemic, this niche scene still seemed to flourish, and it was only after Silicon Valley lined up to kiss the ring that the aggressive changes to the algorithms really seemed to change things. Maybe this is correlation more than causation, but as activity at such niche scenes is often also created by fairly principled DIY-oriented people, it seems that many (myself included) have struggled with justifying why we keep feeding these platforms. This disillusionment is further exacerbated by the rise of the AI-slopmachine that will rip off all the non-commercial work from these platforms just like everything else. Online activity that gathers enough momentum to actually keep things active has in these types of niche scenes been very much dependent on instagram and youtube. Over the past few years, the visibility of this type on stuff that doesn’t try to optimise for the alorithm has plummeted. Perhaps all of this has resulted in events such as the Modular World shows reaching fewer and fewer people. As wonderful as the promise of #Fediverse is, so far it seems that we’re very far from reaching the critical mass where it would actually start reaching new people. If the utopian enclave remains enclosed, it eventually dwindles away. But we can try! I’m posting these weird little Johannes Karkia mini music videos and performances here bit by bit. It’s a transfer of archive, posted on insta & youtube over th years, and also new work now & then. But also Modular World does still exist! Go check out their channel: https://www.youtube.com/live/07ErB3AjlAo?is=qr9q2pXlhWm7Hie2 (Full performance of this piece, and interview with MW’s Johno Wells there on the Modular World youtube channel and on the Johannes Karkia youtube channel [link in the bio above], audio track also on Bandcamp). #modularsynth #modularworld #anniversary #liveshow #electronicmusic #modulartechno #covid19 #pandemic #darkwave #eurorackmodular #Community #surveillancecapitalism #enshittification #platformcapitalism #algorithm #bigtech #siliconvalley #KissTheRing #enshittification #socialmedia #utopianenclave #utopianism #fediverse

So, when one visits the Keep Android Open site, one of the things on the page is the attached. And, for the first time it's reached my awareness that part of #enshittification is that all of these companies have decided to become Darth Vader on Bespin ("…pray I don't alter it any further").

@bossito@mastodon.social Não deixa de ser uma trajectória descendente que já vem de há alguns anos (aliás, os blogs não foram apontados como "alternativa" ao serviço de homepages?), mas hoje parece que houve um novo episódio e um ponto mais baixo: o SAPO mandou e-mails de propaganda, que cheguei a receber em duplicado e triplicado, sobre "novas funcionalidades" e uma versão "premium" do SAPO Mail. Traduzindo aquilo que tentaram enterrar sob toneladas de marketing: vai deixar de ser possível utilizar SAPO mail com clientes de e-mail. A piada é que o SAPO chegou a ser um exemplo de óptimas escolhas tecnológicas e de bons serviços... #SAPO #enshittification

New level of enshittification unlocked. Some of the jobs I'm applying for are now adding my email from my job application to their marketing emails to buy their services. I'm noticing more often submitting a job application now requires you to accept a fucking Terms of Service before you can submit it.

@pheonix@hachyderm.io I think the #Enshittification of the #Web needs to be pushed back hard. As in: If it can't use that #Website with @torproject@mastodon.social / #TorBrowser over an #Iridium connection @2400bit/s it should be illegal to put it online! Kind of harsh, IK. I'm so sick of the Enshittification that it makes me more and more "militant" in terms of #Privacy, #DataProtection, #ConsumerRights & #UserRights. This mistreatment reminds me of the Gaming Industry excl. #Valve

@semifor@ack.nerdfight.online similarly I do @OS1337@infosec.space not just as an exercise in #Linux #basics, but also as contingency plan amidst #enshittification. Cuz I can't imagine being a "#TechIlliterate #Normie" using #Govware like #Windows. I'd rather quit than do that!
