With three Right to Repair laws, Colorado has the broadest protections of any state. Here's what the new law does and what's next:

Companies were counting on us not paying attention, not noticing this strategy. Or attributing it to something besides deliberate deception and manipulation. That's where building awareness of enshitification becomes a warning and an inoculation . if we make the idea famous.

Join millions who have switched to Grok.

We've now seen this pattern enough times to recognize it. New products / services come out and their are cheap or even free and amazing. And then they get crappier and crappier but we are stuck using them. That's enshitification.

Cory's encapsulation the idea of "Enshitification" is so essential. Rarely does someone pinpoint an experience we all have, and then nail it down to one perfect word. Not only is it a critical insight, it's a warning for what is coming next.

If we let this happen, where does it stop? At what point do manufacturers stop charging us adding fees for using hardware they sold to us? At what point is adding another paywall enough? What is the principle that prevents us from a "turn key" fee, a "window open" fee?.

Imagine a contractor builds you a house and then caps the heat at 58 degrees unless you pay $20 per month for them to allow the furnace you own to heat your home more than that.

Never has a clip given me a feeling so close to the feeling of my dad being mad at me.

Microsoft is cutting off hundreds of millions of computers from security updates: . “The thing that Microsoft should be doing, if they cared about the environment and sustainability and keeping their customers secure, would be just to extend support automatically" @LG_Rocket.

Is it too much to ask that our leaders treat us with respect?.

I don't care that everyone does it. Everyone is wrong. I want new leaders who reject what "everyone does" because, wake up, it isn't working. It's insulting and annoying.

When a politician I might otherwise like starts texting me and asking for money, despite me not signing up for that, I immediately like them less. I picture them being cajoled by hacky campaign consultants into it. Or not caring that it is kinda slimy.

Good news: we can order iPad parts from Apple! Bad news: The prices are ridiculous. "Clark points out that a new charge port for an iPad Pro 11, a part that goes bad all the time, costs $250 from Apple. Aftermarket charge ports, meanwhile, can be found for less than $20.".
