    1. What is their monetization model? If you read the original article defining ‘enshittificaiton’, it’s clear how this factors in. FOSS projects tend to avoid this, and in the occasional cases where they are sold and aggressively monetized, there are usually forks (see: audacity->tenacity). With donation-run but non-open services, you really just have to hope. If it’s unclear or for-profit, avoid wherever possible (unfortunately not always possible).

    That’s the bottom line.


  • The other answers are right, just explaining in simpler language in case anyone needs it:

    Codeberg, like Gitlab and Github, is a site for hosting and managing code repositories. These make it easy for many people to collaborate on a software project, review code, keep track of changes and history, keep track of bugs and feature requests, and more.

    Here’s an example of a (very active) code project to explore: https://codeberg.org/tenacityteam/tenacity (An audio editor based on Audacity)

    The most famous code repo management tool, GitHub, was bought by Microsoft a few years ago, so reliable community-run alternatives like Codeberg are increasingly important.

    Never was a fan, and at some point I realized I liked their songs far more without the lyrics. I understand their music has a huge legacy, but I just don’t see it. Give me DOOM every time.

    You’ve got a hit, how come it sold?

    The melody, and it’s thirty years old!









  • Legality hardly matters at this point. I didn’t matter much last time Trump was the US President. Whether something is illegal is irrelevant to whether it’s beneficial or harmful.

    This ticking data breach is dangerous to citizens and a real threat to the United States of America as a political state.

    As for the laughing emoji, the OP (like billions of people) see the self-sabotage of the United States of America’s power and hampering its ability to harm innumerable people around the world as a good thing, but it’s pretty ignorant of the ways it will harm regular worker-class citizens too.

    So for people trying to get attention, identifying as Antifa […] probably doesn’t help them these days.

    People doing actions for clout are likely to be shunned as opportunistic. A well-known antifascist guide to doxxing Nazis straight up says [paraphrasing] “seeking clout will make people skeptical of your actions, just don’t do it”.

    Interesting, you picked two brands which aren’t really single groups.

    ‘Antifa’ is a social movement which developed from a red united front organization in 1930s Germany[1] and turned into a general brand we see today. Any group of antifascists can identify as antifa using symbols and tactics. You can find a friend and go be antifa.

    Similarly, ‘Anonymous’ grew out of social justice activism on 4chan and, as the name suggests, is a fluid kind of identity. Anyone can use the name, the original chatroom/group is less and less relevant as time goes on.

    Both collectives are still present and doing things, but antifa groups are far more relevant. They’re just not in the news as often as they were during BLM. Anarchist blogs and media outlets (e.g. Unicorn Riot and It’s Going Down) often have updates on recent antifascist actions, including disrupting neo-Nazi protests and infiltrating+sabotaging their organizations.
