@isocat @pluralistic This enshittification is a deliberate design choice. I have a “smart” washing machine, but it can be operated entirely offline via its front panel. The “smart” features are: it sends me a notification when it’s done, so I can hang the clothes out to dry, and I can use the app to program weird washes that I can download from the net (sneakers, super-delicates of various types, etc). If those get discontinued at some point, I’ll shrug and keep washing.
