The amount of time I've spent getting my MacOS to not be annoying... it's such a shit experience compared to Gnome/Linux. Every single day I use MacOS, I find a new annoying inconsistency, or either poor or directly bad UX design decision or implementation.

Next time I look for a place to work, I'd consider Windows or MacOS to require at least 30% higher salary to be worth the annoyance.

Your argument seems to be that it somehow matters why you are being a human shitstain. To the rest of the world, there is no difference whether you like being a shitstain for some internal motivation, or whether it is explicitly for the discomfort of others.

In either case, move out to the fucking woods, and you can have your primal pea brain be stimulated by things that go vroom vroom for all I fucking care.

If they cannot report on things like this, you might wonder why they don't report on important things like inequality, disappearing workers rights, etc, etc.

Maybe a mechanism for collective bargaining can help mitigate the problem? Something, something, Reagan.

Can I ask in which way it helps? Or perhaps, what in particular it helps with? For example, the "feeling guilty" part is very different from "motivation evaporates", but remedying either, or something else entirely, can be considered helping.

I get mine to make a clicking sound. Audible to someone else if they stick their ear next to mine.

This covers it pretty well.

If you want a very short version: a hypothetical eventuality in the technological advancement of intelligent life, as to limit their existence.

Hm. I didn't argue against anything of what you're saying here. I'm just saying that it arguably isn't "enshitification".

Enshittification is the pattern of decreasing quality observed in online services and products such as Amazon, Facebook, Google Search, Twitter, Bandcamp, Reddit, Uber, and Unity

I don't see how this is very contentious either.

Urbanisation and deforestation are not the same as enshitification tho.

It's a bit unfortunate that "increased degree in which something is shit" sounds like what the word should mean, and I suppose it then sort of does.

It's nice to have a word that describes the investor-driven incentives to worsen a service/product to milk out more short-term revenue. The larger a market capture is, the more that can be pushed without an alternative being a threat.

It's the cycle of "provide a good quality service that makes everybody happy" -> market capture -> shareholders push for increase revenue at the expense of quality as there is no competition.

Last time you made some effort, and it was amusing for once.

I think you mistook it for the "large mirror" exhibition. Easy mistake to make.

You literally wrote you were educating me. Are you stupid?

What I wrote was: "while being rude AF to someone trying to educate you"

You're the one who incorrectly assumed that "someone" was referring to me. It doesn't bother me at all whether or not you're rude to me. It annoyed me that you were rude to someone who was being kind. And, since you need to have things explained with extra care, I was referring to Imecht. The one who was trying to educate you, to whom you were rude to.

I hope you start getting it, as this is now boring. So, how about instead of trying to come up with some kind of clever retort, you simply fuck off to somewhere were your arrogance isn't revealed as being that of a little shit. You'll enjoy it more.
