  • Why is Lemmy obsessed with the word "enshittification"?

    Jump

  • People here are far more likely to be anti-capitalist, anti-corporate, pro-privacy, etc. those groups all circle the same kind of Cory Doctorow/Matt Stoller/Luddite world where the word enshittification became popular.

  • Got annoyed by my gym

  • Most gym employees don’t have that level of discretion in the US at least. Most gyms I’m aware of are franchises and asking a wage employee to go against their corporate policies risks their livelihood.

  • Ah I missed the part where you said “and charge you.” There’s nothing in contracts like these that says the gym has to let you identify yourself in any way you choose and I don’t see why you think there would be.

  • I never said they’d charge you, I said they wouldn’t just let you in.

  • Isn’t what illegal? They are allowed to determine how you access their gym.

  • Yes that’s absolutely what will happen. They likely have language in the contract you signed allowing them to do just that.

    You are paying for access to the gym. They don’t have to provide you access via a card or a list or an app - they probably specify that they can refuse access for a variety of reasons, including “safety and privacy” or some shit they can shoehorn an app into. You don’t have a legal right to access a place via the mechanism you choose.

  • That isn’t how contracts work

  • And they will say you can’t go to the gym, then. I agree this is enshittification but this isn’t a magic trick that lets you bypass the app

  • Has ethernet become illegitimate? A librarian flipped out after spotting me using ethernet

  • Or, and hear me out, approach everything with hostility \s

  • My phone is just one big shitpost

    Jump

  • In 20 years cell phones (as phones not portable computers) went from a tool that united people in new and exciting ways to a way for solicitors to spam us. It’s to the point that I don’t know anyone who answers their phone if they don’t have the caller’s number saved.

    This is a choice that we have made. We could legislate this behavior and we as a society choose to act as if it is inevitable.

  • Irate Escape from Tarkov players nuke community Discord over new PvE mode

  • The problem isn’t that it’s pay to play, it’s that they already paid to play and they don’t want to pay again

  • ‘Escape From Tarkov’ Fans Are Outraged At New $250 Pay-To-Win Edition

    Jump

  • This makes me laugh so hard.

    EFT fanboys shelled out big bucks ($140) to buy the edge of darkness edition that promised a bunch of stuff - including coveted gamma containers that gave you expanded inventory space. Importantly, it promised free access to ALL future DLC. It was removed from the store in January without any reason.

    Today Battlestate Games announced the “Unheard of Edition” for $250 that gives increased rep gain, inventory space, items and loot, and access to offline progression and PvE modes. It gives you special pockets that carry full mags. It gives you unique items and weapons. It is so clearly pay to win and so expensive that even the EFT fanboys are pissed. And people who bought EfD have the pleasure of buying this new version like everyone else because it’s not a DLC - it’s a new game mode, apparently.

    BSG responded to the backlash in the healthiest way possible: by doubling down. Today, after a competitor (Arena Unleashed or some shit) mocked them on Twitter, BSG retweeted them - giving them more free advertising than they’ve had in any form. Absolutely incredible to watch this shitty company implode.

    The most incredible thing is that all of this is bullshit. BSG has convinced people that playing Tetris with their inventory is actually Gritty Realism to the extent that they think their players will pay $250 to get an 8x8 box and bigger pockets. Next thing you know, you’ll be able to pay a mere $300 to have an in-game map and vendors that consistently sell things.

  • Absolutely not and he’s learned nothing

    “It took us some time to find our footing, but more than four months into this transition, I think we’re back on track and I expect to continue improving on our execution throughout the year getting us to an even better place than we’ve ever been.”
