Enshitification in Polish Trains?
by
Yes the manufacturer of a train in Poland remotely bricked the train because they didn’t like who worked on it. Now that “hackers” who were hired by the train company to get the train rolling again have fixed it the train company is now threatening to sue the hackers that got a crucial piece of…
You don’t need purpose if the task fills your mind
by
Hey this is usually a members post. Members get all my book notes, and courses when they become members. You should become a member too. From Derek Sivers as he speaks about people searching for their “purposes” or “passion”. When we’re actually engaged in the flow of fascinating work, we don’t think in these terms.…
Louis Rossman – the Enshittification of Amazon
by
Like Louis, I’ve had a harder and harder time finding anything of quality on Amazon. Worse, like many of the people commenting on the video, I’ve had my negative reviews of bad products taken down because they “weren’t relevant” to the product. I have no idea how saying “this product doesn’t work for its intended…
Crypto is a Scam – Number Go Up by Zeke Faux
by
Years ago I remember being interested in Bitcoin, simply because it was new interesting tech. I even mined a few dozen of them back when it was possible to do that with an underpowered second hand computer you were willing to leave on for a few days. For the last 5+ years though crypto has…
Notebooks Come and Go
by
Greg shared his on again off again notebook habit. There’s something about writing by hand that feels right to me, even though it’s slower than typing, and you can’t just hit ‘search’ to find something you wrote. But for some reason, I just stopped using my notebook for a few months. It’s like it went…

Manipulating Images from the Terminal

With my switch to Fedora as my main working operating system I needed to change how I process images for this site. I want images to be small, but still a good enough quality to see. On macOS I used Permute via SetApp to batch process images, but Permute is not available on Linux. So…
I Also Just Want my Music
by
Jeff walks us through how it’s $3000 to get some kids music. As he says this is further enshitification of content. Yes I pay for YouTube Premium, and Apple Music, and I buy the movies I want to add to my own library. I continue to think that maybe I need to go back to…
8BitDo Retro Nintendo Keyboard
by
At one point in my life I was collecting Lego sets that I enjoyed, but that time has passed and my Lego remains in a box after my move to Prince George almost 2 years ago. The Lego hobby has been replaced in a small way by getting interesting keyboards now and that is why…
