Here’s one example

Dude borrowed my mug and still hasn’t returned it.

More likely to get pulled over, but less likely to get tazed.

Put it in your sale box.

Stares in bz2

If only I could remember to set status=progress…

I always end up using killall -USR1 from another terminal

• Armour class: Apparmor (common)
  • App confinement (+1 defence against app security issues)
• Glamour: Breezy plasma (common)
• Jewellery: Snappy apps (common)
  • Rolling release apps with a stable base
  • Ability to use multiple versions of any snappy app simultaneously

Well you haven’t given any practical examples of how you think Steam is enshittified, so you’ve left people to draw their own conclusions and definitions.

I agree, but I don’t think that backs the claim that it’s already enshittified.

Look I can keep posting photos I’ve taken of giraffes all day. All you have to say is “please post more giraffe pics”

That giraffe is drinking.

When they’re not intentionally bending down to reach something low down like a water hole, they look like this:

Roughly the quality of KDE 4.1

Rolls a 2 anyway

Most sensible GNOME decision

I’m confused. This says it’s version 1.122 - are they going to reset to 1.0?

There’s no Snap, which some will see as a win, but there is Flatpak

You heard it here first, folks! Uninstall Snap and install Flatpak to make your distro more like Windows!

And how do you quantify their reduced blame for hiring community members already? As I’ve already pointed out, Canonical has many Debian developers and maintainers on their payroll. While we’re unlikely to ever get real numbers for it, if it turned out that Canonical had a bigger portion of their payrolls devoted to ensuring that community developers got paid than the other companies mentioned, wouldn’t that say that they’re even less to blame?

That’s kind of a non sequitur. Canonical hires a lot of community members to maintain stuff for the community. They also have roughly 1000 employees according to Wikipedia. SUSE also depends on things like xz and has twice as many employees. Red Hat has 19,000 employees. Google depends on xz and has over 180,000 employees.

So if you’re blaming Canonical for not hiring the maintainers of under recognised community projects that don’t have corporate backing, then surely SUSE gets twice the blame, Red Hat gets 19 times the blame and Google gets 180 times the blame? (Not to mention Amazon, Meta, NVIDIA, etc.)
