I tried to imagine what an enshittified #Linux distro would look like, and made a video about it, because it’s fun:

AfroScribble,

@thelinuxEXP thanks, I hate it ❤️

petelingo,

@thelinuxEXP Excellent video, Nick. Other ideas VP Monsieur Corpobull may also consider:

>Reserving highest CPU, RAM and IO speeds to subscribers only
>Full screen 30 sec video advert on log-in (without option to suppress)
>Disableware - Pay to unlock features already built-in (Like car manufacturers do with heated seats now)
>Ransomware – Pay monthly if you don't want us to syphon your data
>Sponsored UI themes & Icon Packs – Rolex clock in task tray, Bose speaker icon, FedEx mail icon

@thelinuxEXP Nice video man. Cannot wait for Windows to go full on subscription model so that I can convince the entire family to adopt FOSS Linux, free from any corpos. You made this as a joke but I see it as the future.

@thelinuxEXP Found the video from youtube notification. But I can't figure out if E corp Linux is real or not, so I look it up online, only to be directed into this post 😆

I thought it was some sort of real parody distro.

@thelinuxEXP funny thought experiment. Reminds us how good Linux is compared to the alternatives

@pesader @thelinuxEXP There are alternatives to Linux? 😆

@thelinuxEXP

"Enshitified linux" is what youtubing is to textual blogging or I would say "expressing his/her own opinion".

12min, really? Youtube free of ads and datamining?

what a joke.

@petit_suisse I have no clue what you’re trying to say here.

Iif you watched the video, you’d know it was an attempt at depicting what could happen, in a humorous fashion.

Taking any of this seriously is, well, frankly very weird.

@thelinuxEXP E Corp is honest in all about wanting my data and limiting my choices as that is a paid tier model thing

#sarcasm

@unicornCoder E Corp only wants you to have just the exact number of features you need!

@thelinuxEXP I am ashamed I tried to become a m$ MVP........ (BTW in 2012 I joined the m$ club in the ISI high school & climbed until I became one of the highest staff member providing support on software, hardware & the like, that until 2019 when I discovered that m$ lied to my face, they said that winlol 10 is the last winlol, imagine my surprise when they announced winlol 11, since then I built myself in the Linux world, I even contribute to a tunisian Linux distro)

@bargoderea Hey don’t beat yourself up, I spend the first 10 years of my career trying to be the biggest corporate stooge I could be (and actually succeeded at that before realizing it was horrible) 😂
