Anyone that cares about privacy and uses Instagram won't care about this. It's not a good thing for Meta to do this but the last two+ decades has demonstrated people prefer to be ignorant and accept whatever comes. Let them eat cake and rot. I tire of being called paranoid because I know how all this can be abused.

Samba has never been about file sharing over the internet. The project has been about cleanroom-reverse-engineering specific MS technology. To start it was NT4 authentication domains, then printing services, along the way SMBv1 (commonly incorrectly called CIFS btw), then SMBv2 v3.x, and then in 2012 Samba Active Directory.

In no way has it ever been about a functional alternative to something like Nextcloud. It's been about services primarily for LAN functionality, not stuff that should be going over the internet (mostly for security reasons).

So your expectations really don't align with what Samba has ever been about.

I'm sorry Google, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Google will incur serious lawsuits if they remove that accessibility aspect.

Any chance for something 100% self-hostable? hcaptcha and friendlycaptcha last I checked require interfacing with their services.

Nextcloud, Samba serving SMB isn't really equivalent.

I'm a fan of Concrete CMS. No plans to switch away, and yes I am working with AI.

Inflation is a hell of a drug.

YouTube recommendations are very well tuned for me. You need to mark videos "not interested" and downvote stuff you don't actually like, as well as stopping videos when you've decided you're not interested. This and other aspects WILL improve your recommended feed. So if your recommended feed sucks, well that's on you there bud, you can influence it completely.

Ahh yes the downvotes for pointing out that something is achievable by putting in the effort to improve. I see Reddit is spilling over here.

We'll see how the future unfolds. Until then, I have plenty of other things to do. And I bet you do too :P

I was giving a similar, but tangibly different, example of enshitification. It doesn't have to be a 1:1 translation to be a relevant example.

Yes you can. I do it every day. Get better at driving.

You open the trunk and put it in. And leave enough room behind your vehicle to do that, which is available in _every_ parking spot.

Thanks for recording me without my consent just because I walked past your car parked. /s

I'm actually probably going to start asking new friends if, when they invite me over, if they have a ring doorbell. I'm getting fed up with being recorded without consent just because I want to go visit someone. Fuck that.

Discord is so cooked. It's Reddit all over again. And that place is utter trash now. Mods and Admins not even following their own rules, zero accountability.

It's as if all the other problems Facebook has done in the past never mattered. Nobody stops to think about how Facebook's _repeated and exhaustive history of abuse_ might actually impact them. If only there was some evidence of what might happen...
