What a perfect time to tell you all how great @pluralistic ’s book Enshittification is.

It’s the true story of how and why all things on the internet that were once great and drew us all in eventually changed. What started as a nice piece of cheese that everyone enjoyed end up becoming the bait that tech companies built a trap around. They then used us as bait to build a trap around advertisers.

The terrible cheese analogy is entirely mine. I promise the book doesn’t mention tech cheese. 😂

Reading by Cory Doctorow @pluralistic. Very good so far! Laying bare what we all intuitively know: the Internet has gotten worse. But not in a depressing way, in a way that clarifies what is going on, how it happened and (haven't gotten there yet but) what to do about it.

The book cover. Plus a collie.

Finally it's time to read a book (real paper 😉 thanks to @pluralistic )
Together with a perfect Russian Imperial Stout by Midtfyns Bryghus it seems a good start into the weekend. Kona (calicocat) is purring to the right 😻.
I wish you all a wonderful and peaceful evening!

Edit: in the picture you may recognise, the label of the bottle is printed with . I can't read it, but here a shout-out for the brewery to exercise

A small glass with dark brown beer in the lower middle, left side behind the bottle of beer one to the right a stack of magazines with a book upon. The book is titled "Enshitification". All on a small table in front of bookshelves.

Enshittification is the intentional degradation of products as companies shift focus from pleasing consumers to maximizing profits for shareholders.

The Norwegian Consumer Council hate enshittification and they're using humour to fight it.
