If ads are pushed into ed(1), then it truly is everything. But, as long as Theo is the leader of OpenBSD, we will always have a free operating system.
Comment on ‘Enshittification’ is coming for absolutely everything

Enshitification only comes for the things capitalism touches… So yeah, everything…

Nah, it won’t touch projects like KDE.

I am a big fan of KDE, but having qt’s role in mind I wouldn’t be to sure. I think they already try to endorse tracking there.

Qt is exactly why I’m so sure. They made sure that there was a legal agreement that Qt would always stay open source or else they’d get the ability to make it available under a BSD license: kde.org/community/whatiskde/kdefreeqtfoundation/
That’s a project that understands the entanglement and doesn’t allow itself to be taken over.

That’s amazing news. Thank you for clarifying

Enshitification comes because of the unsustainable growth required by Capitalism in order to appease shareholders. Line must always go up!
AA5B@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Enshittification comes from failure of government to establish a market where capitalism acts for the benefit of society. It comes from failure of antitrust regulations, failure of consumer protections, failure of broadcaster fairness doctrine, failure to reward a sustainable business model rather than simply maximizing quarterly profit, failure to support public broadcasting, failure to mandate ethics/honesty/transparency, failure to incent public good such environmental responsibility.

So Capitalism, gotcha.
