During the early part of 2020 I moved my classes onto Zoom. Because of this change, I'll be moving my video conferencing elsewhere. What's with companies destroying themselves while attempting to maximize profits. Just another reddifugee on kbin.social. SMH.

The term "enshittification" comes to mind.

Cory Doctorow is a smart man and I'm glad he's around to educate us.

The term “enshittification” is as common on Lemmy as “play stupid games…” is on Reddit.

It’s a much less stupid word/phrase, though, so that’s fine with me.
