First thing you mention is such a fun and useful exercise. But as you point out, way overkill. Might even be dangerous to expose it. I got mine to 20kb on top of busybox.
There is something that tickles the right spots when a complete container image significantly smaller than the average js payload in “modern” websites.
Why do I get the feeling you might be younger than the average age here? Maybe missing an /s?
What do you suspect the issue can be? Some sources not syncing causing multiple divergences?
If the purpose of collecting the data by private companies is to somehow make money, do you think that sharing this data, or conclusions based on this data, somehow manages to exclude access of governmental agencies? I’ve never gotten the impression that CIA/NSA would ever willingly play nice.
Never trust cloud solutions when it isn’t your cloud.
This might come across a little bit insulting, and I mean it that way too if it hits home.
You are putting way to much value into the creation of this word. It is the descriptive noun “shit” followed by the suffix “-ification”. It doesn’t need to be “coined” by anyone attributing any other meaning than what you would get by a descriptive noun, followed by “-ification”. Adding the prefix en- is a nice embellishment.
So, perhaps the dude made it become a used word, but to presume a word’s origin defines it is a bit silly. That isn’t how language work. If enough people like a word, and like for it to mean something, then… that’s what that word means, because that’s what “meaning” means. Sometimes, it is exceedingly frustrating when it breaks with the original meaning, e.g. “literally” being used for “figurative”. In this case, it does not. So why would anyone give a shit if someone thinks a word should mean something else than what it literally means.
Didn’t amazon want to be able to secretly piggiback on other known WiFi networks of other wifis known to amazon through connected devices, when some users would refuse to connect their decides to their WiFi? I think I remember something like that, but don’t know what came of it. Might have just been a nightmare.
Nah. He called it that, but the word follows grammatical* structure well enough that it can be easily understood and used in a more general sense. “the gradual increase in which something is shit” = “enshitification”.
Fits for what he wanted to use it for. Fits for a whole lot more. One cannot gatekeep language. Whatever is the most effective way to transfer a concept from one mind as to be similarly understood in someone else’s, ultimately is language.
* maybe not grammar, but you get what I mean
In the EU, it sort of isn’t.
Takes a long time to write a proper response for all the GDPR stuff. The responses surprisingly don’t change all that much whether or not I do, so I might as well save me the trouble.
