Formal certification for enshittification is clearly a growth area for management training.

Not everyone can afford the time and money for an MBA, but businesses could fund Introduction to Enshittification, leading to full Enshittification Practitioner accreditation as part of Continuing Professional Development.

I mean, how else will you easily open a bottle of decent wine in a survival situation?

Typewriter with carbon paper, and a stencil setting + a mimeograph for bulk copying. Bonus retro ink smell.
If you want more modern tech, a 1980's daisywheel or ball electronic typewriter with a PC port/adaptor. (probably just copy the file to LPT1, but it's been a while).

Best known for the cult 1980's movie Withnail & I. set in 1960's student London and the countryside. He's been in a a lot of films and TV though, always worth watching, I even liked him in the Spice Girls movie.

SPOILER!!!: Most of the trailer, I think.
Possibly a 'Knives Out' with unicorns, so I'm here for it.
It's good to see Richard E Grant passing on scenery chewing (edit: and scene stealing) duties to Will Poulter. The A24 people know how to cast.

I should point out that Withnail & I is not for those of a delicate disposition.

Santa has 'legitimate interest' in collating the naughty/nice list and thus claims full GDPR compliance, as do the 961 data brokers who will also get access.
I would not trust that shelf elf though.

A witch jar in a Greater Manchester forest.
The jar was not hidden away and could be seen from the footpath. I've confirmed with some local witches that it's ok to post the photo.

@cstross
Kids today with their vegan cheese, avocado and just stop oil sandwiches. What's wrong with a good old fashioned curly edged luncheon meat and tongue? -

Irish embassy will be busy, and I expect a large number of people will be googling the website of the Scottish embassy.

Imagine the run time for that if it used 2020's batteries.

Thanks Hugo. I was taught Tragedy of the Commons, but without any background to it. It now seems obvious to many people in the UK, especially Scotland, that various enclosures laws and other ways of taking common land have not benefited the people or the land itself.

@stavvers
There are a few points I perhaps disagree with but I have to accept I'm not an expert in this area so I'll defer to well researched work that cites sources. You showed the receipts on this one. -
