- Comment on DEF CON 32 - Disenshittify or die! How hackers can seize the means of computation - Cory Doctorow 1 month ago:
Your head is going to hurt even more if you are a German: The prefix “ent” usually means to lose or get rid of something. I.e. “I got rid of it” -> “Ich habe es entsorgt” so everytime I read “enshittification” I had to remind myself it’s the process of making something worse not better.
So “disenshittification” is a double knot in my brain. I propose “disshittification” as alternative.

It’s definitely something that happens to people often, but in your case you can clearly see the leaves hanging towards the floor. While indoors, I tend to water my Avocados when I notice the leaves starting to hang.
Of course, check the soil first. If you poke your finger in a couple centimeters and you can feel moisture, you can still wait a bit.

Well, I read somewhere in the 1800s an official in a major patent office resigned because he believed there was nothing new to invent/patent left.
