I hope you haven't failed to notice that coming week @pluralistic is giving two public talks in #Tartu, the first one on overcoming the #enshittocene and the second one guiding us to #seizethemeans of computation. And you can ask questions! https://infoaed.ee/cory/ #primavista #tartu2024

The news that Gen Z users have abandoned Tiktok in such numbers that the median Tiktoker is a Millennial (or someone even older) prompted commentators to dunk on Tiktok as uncool by dint of having lost its youthful sheen:

A scythe-wielding, crook-backed Father Time bends low to stare into the face of a cherubic Baby New Year. Father Time wears a backwards baseball-cap with the Tiktok logo. Baby New Year is waving goodbye and holding a satchel decorated with the 'code waterfall' from the credit sequences of the Wachowskis' 'Matrix' movies. The background is a stormy sky, with a forked lightning striking between the two figures.

    @pluralistic coined yet another great new word describing the dystopian era we are living in:

    The Enshittocene

    Google reneged on the monopolistic bargain

    "A funny thing happened on the way to the enshittocene: Google – which astonished the world when it reinvented search, blowing Altavista and Yahoo out of the water with a search tool that seemed magic – suddenly turned into a pile of shit.”

    We're living in the enshittocene, in which the forces of enshittification are turning everything from our cars to our streaming services to our dishwashers into thoroughly enshittifified piles of shit. Call it the Great Enshittening…

    A pair of early 20th century women strikers in formal dresses with sashes reading 'PICKET STRIKERS.' The left striker's head has been replaced with a 'hacker-in-a-hoodie' cliche. The left one's jacket has been turned Deliveroo blue. She's wearing a matching bike helmet and carrying a Deliveroo food-delivery insulated backpack. They are posed on a background of a giant union conference at Madison Square Gardens, under a banner reading 'ON WITH THE STRIKE! ON TO VICTORY!'
