Complaining about enshittification does belie a certain lack of awareness of always having been swimming in shit.

Discussion: what do you say to "conservatives" who want to fight to keep this regime in power?

I don't have the privilege of removing myself from their presence, because it's the VAST majority of my community. I care about them like I care about the deer in my back yard and the trees by the creek - they are a part of my environment.

I cannot be aggressive because they'll respond in kind, and that's just sinking to their level. I'll never gain ground.

“The subtlety of it is pretty insidious. Like some kind of distributed long con, played out over and over, in the midst of so many millions of other simultaneous ones.”

OK, so I just got an email saying @penpot just got $8M in series A.

Last I raised concerns about their funding (https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/107213277312042632), @diacritica assured me “you won't see any VC” (https://fosstodon.org/@diacritica/107223795756458412)

Well, this sure looks like VC to me.

Folks investing $8M are going to want a billion-dollar exit. So who’s that exit going to be to (Adobe’s already full, is Google hungry for a design tool?) Or do they plan on going public?
