If only there was a way to show the whole world in one simple example how Enshitification works.

Google execs: Hold my beer!

Many ways to detect this, but let’s start with the basics: Are you using the same Ip address?

Wow, a genuine terrorsim supporter. would you look at that.

AI consumption of news content makes the news more accessible.

If journalists and their platforms do not get paid their articles won’t get written. So no, the free absorbtion of professional articles into a LLM that uses the article to answer a Pokemon question online in 6 months is not making “news” more “accesible”.

I sense a new dictionary definition of self-fulfilling prophecy coming up…

But that’s like saying the engineers at Apple did all the work. But it would not have grabbed the zeitgeist without Jobs. And as much as I despise Musk you do need to give him credit for how he marketed Tesla and SpaceX. As the now is showing he was just making stuff up and lucked into some good decisions, but the accomplishment stands.

Uber was never a tech proposition, it was a predatory disruptor.

The streaming fiasco is sad but inevitable as greed does what greed does.

Cloud was never primarily about price, the big cost save initially was to get rid of purchased or rented iron and locations but the main reason of the Big Switch was the scaleability and opportunities for quick deployment of new technologies and methodologies.

To be fair, reddit for me was always about getting to know like-minded people. And I met my wife through the 40+redditor seeks redditor group so if that’s what it is I’m fine with it. Not in the least as I left that toxic waste dump with the exodus and have not missed 95% of it. (Yes, I miss /r/AskHistorians but I am strong, if I allow myself one subredit it will suck me back in so clean break is for the best).

Dutchman. Whatsapp is not used for business in any instance I am aware off, nor should it be because of many compliance reasons. But private conversations/group chats are next to impossible without whatsapp.

I don’t see how your comment history would be considered “personal data”.

From the GDPR definitions: The data subjects are identifiable if they can be directly or indirectly identified, especially by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one of several special characteristics, which expresses the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, commercial, cultural or social identity of these natural persons. In practice, these also include all data which are or can be assigned to a person in any kind of way. For example, the telephone, credit card or personnel number of a person, account data, number plate, appearance, customer number or address are all personal data.

irrevocable You’ve agreed that your posts are no longer your “personal data” at that point…

No, that is not how that works under European law at all. You can at **any **time revoke this right, that’s one of the basic rules of GDPR. And yes, Reddit falls under GDPR as they specifically enable EU citizens to use their services.

I feel a general creative writing sub would be a nice community, but the cesspool of the obvious fake and ragebait articles from prorevenge, pettyrevenge and AITA are better left in the past at reddit I think…
