Too often
(lemmy.cafe)
The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.
people ridicule me for using a spear, but this is why!
none of these forced updates, i just periodically check in with an enchanter to see if there are any new runes, and once or twice per year i take it to a blacksmith for a reforging.
Sure, it's not quite as fancy and i have to sharpen it myself, but as just demonstrated i don't even consider swords an option.
