   I think when my best friend and I first used the word ‘enshittification’ to talk about the trends of technology in 2005-2006, I think we assumed that the people enshittifying it would be better at their jobs.

   Not ruthless, calculated change. Just clueless project managers in CEO roles poorly managing everything while ‘maximising’ profit. However even the maximising profit part isn’t working.

   Rinsing investors is what’s happening, while gaslighting everyone else.

   This isn’t the technological dystopia I was promised.

     Me in my teens expecting having to choose between being a rebel street-rider or corpo slicker.

     Choosing the underworld before turning corpo to try to change from the inside, using technology to overthrow corrupt officials and cruel oligarchs.

     Looking at the cyberdeck I was promised, and it has a 2hr battery life, adverts in the UI, applications frequently stopping responding, can’t be repaired, or augmented with black market parts, and can be compromised by a cool summer breeze.
