I need convincing on some of the detail (e.g. how effective are they at manipulating our desires?), but mostly agree with his main argument. Pairs well with Cory Doctorow's <a href="/tags/enshittification/" rel="tag">#enshittification</a> ideas (<a href="https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@pluralistic</a>).<a href="/tags/bookreview/" rel="tag">#BookReview</a> <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#Books</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#Bookstodon</a> <a href="/tags/economics/" rel="tag">#Economics</a> <a href="/tags/capitalism/" rel="tag">#Capitalism</a><a href="https://aus.social/@wildwoila" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@WildWoila</a>

Check out my <a href="/tags/letterboxd/" rel="tag">#Letterboxd</a> review of the outstanding <a href="/tags/blackmirror/" rel="tag">#BlackMirror</a> episode <a href="/tags/commonpeople/" rel="tag">#CommonPeople</a>. In it, I explore why this episode serves as the perfect cinematic representation of <a href="https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@pluralistic</a>‘s theory of <a href="/tags/enshittification/" rel="tag">#enshittification</a>. <a href="https://boxd.it/9n4FOX" rel="nofollow">https://boxd.it/9n4FOX</a>

<a href="https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@pluralistic</a> Here’s some next level <a href="/tags/enshittification/" rel="tag">#Enshittification</a> for you.Context: in-ear headphones not connecting, contact support, request proof of purchase, request *proof of disposal*. Absolutely disgusting behaviour! I’m livid!<a href="/tags/righttorepair/" rel="tag">#RightToRepair</a>

Email response reading "Thank you for providing proof of purchase. Please now send proof of disposal.

You do not need to mail us the physical product once you have sent us proof of disposal. We offer this as a one-time courtesy instead of requiring you to send us the product for inspection, which is our normal warranty process. We will need a video of the destroyed product, regardless of the actual issue.

*PLEASE DO NOT THROW AWAY THE PRODUCT UNTIL THE CLAIM IS COMPLETE*

Valid proof of disposal:

Kindly send us a short video showing the damaged product being dipped/submerged in water. (Include the charging case for earbuds set.)

Any other proof of disposal will result in the denial of your warranty claim or the requirement that you ship the product to us at your own expense.

Once I receive proof of disposal, I will process your warranty claim. Thank you!

Disclaimers: Code includes tax and shipping within your region. If the item is not available in your region, international shipping costs will not be covered. Store credit cannot be stacked or used with other discounts.

With love from the Lab,
Team JLab Customer Support"

Starting 12 Nov 2025, <a href="/tags/ryanair/" rel="tag">#RyanAir</a> passengers must use its proprietary "myRyanair" app to check in for flights and obtain boarding passes. *No* printed boarding passes allowed! <a href="https://corporate.ryanair.com/news/ryanair-issues-reminder-to-passengers-ahead-of-move-to-100-digital-boarding-passes-from-wednesday-12-nov/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="corporate.ryanair.com/news/ryanair-issues-reminder-to-passengers-ahead-of-move-to-100-digital-boarding-passes-from-wednesday-12-nov/">https://corporate.ryanair.com/news/ryanair-issues-reminder-to-passengers-ahead-of-move-to-100-digital-boarding-passes-from-wednesday-12-nov/</a>I wonder which stage Ryanair is in in the <a href="/tags/enshittification/" rel="tag">#enshittification</a> process described by <a href="https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@pluralistic</a>?I dread the day when *all* airlines do this... (or buses, or trains, or...)
