If your company is being acquired, you need to assume you, the employee, are disposable and not the reason for the acquisition.
Everything has to be video huh? Based on the comments here, this could have been a text post with a paragraph of text.
I whitelist sites I support on UB. Unless that sites gets obtrusive then I block it entirely.
I stopped supporting Google the moment they forgot “don’t be evil.”
Didn’t know about SponsorBlock until all this started. So many just found out ad blocking is possible.
As a developer, I’ve only had people request removal of Twitter. They’d rather lose the bird than add an X.
If they haven’t reached deals with AI companies by limiting the API, then why haven’t they returned access to third party app developers? They obviously see how far their engagement and quality has dropped.
I won’t use their official app, ever.
Streaming platforms are all joining in on the enshitification process.
Soon, people will join one service for one month then switch to the next.
After that, they will all begin contracts to “lock in the price.” Possibly in bundle agreements with multiple providers.

To them, this probably sounds easier than lowering prices, reducing CEO’s millions in pay and propping up stock prices.
They named their device “Car Thing?” Just looked it up. Why not just buy a phone mount and play through your phone?
It’s not the rebrand that’s killing Twitter. Elon is. He’s proving to himself that he cannot, in fact, run Twitter better than the prior owners.
I’ve never created a subreddit before but yet here I am creating a community for Southern Utah in support of Lemmy.
Hoping to see the community support this in a small way as I attempt to submit a couple things per day.
Firefox is loving every week of this as they head towards launch. Market share is guaranteed to improve.
