    everyone say goodbye to the wonderful decadess of lean, efficient, bloat-free Windows we have known and loved up until Windows 11!

    it’s been smooth sailing until windows 11!

    For those wondering about what specifically happened with each:

    Minecraft - microtransactions on Bedrock edition

    Reddit - API changes killing 3rd party apps and streamlining ad delivery

    Netflix - Pricing and library changes making it less and less of a good deal

    Chrome - Manifest V3 killing uBlock Origin and similar content blockers

    Windows - Increasing numbers of ads baked into the system, poorly-made features like Recall, and lack of hardware compatibility with the TPM 2.0 requirement

      Why didn’t you just build your own thumb drive out of parts? It just takes a bit of soldering and W steady hand.

      I suggest unbuntu or mint for your first. To get acclimated. Arch and others are cool, but they are intense. I run mint and I can play 99 percent of my old games on it through steam.

        I went with Mint. Cinnamon edition. Get my feet wet with this. Slip deeper into the pool later maybe.

          I don’t see a need to for myself. I went dual boot to make sure I could acclimate with my usage. The only thing that didn’t play well was my HP printer. Which isn’t a loss IMO.

      I had the same reaction. Enshittification came for Windows more than a decade ago, WTH are they thinking with this meme?

      Cracking down on account sharing was the start, then the massive price increases.

      In the last couple of months it has gone from the most reliable one I use to having trouble changing profiles and it hanging while atarting a movie every couple of days. Now they are removing their own interactive content and tried to branch out into gaming, but then fired the whole studio. All of these things are due to trying to chase expansion instead of just being a high quality movie and series streaming service.

        Oh, no.

        Cancelling any series that doesn’t stay on the top10 on the first week was the start. Or was it removing their own old series from the catalog? Well, I can’t really tell when it started either.

    This would be true if it wasn’t for the blood trails. All these companies are thriving despite the enshitification; perhaps they’re thriving because of it.

    I kinda feel like people don’t really care, I mean the ones who care are here and they left these products behind, but we’re really a small fraction that barely counts, most just use these stuff, they just don’t overthink it.
