It’s g. d. everything. I haven’t installed a light switch for the light on our landing yet, so I need the Hue app and every day it slaps an ad in my face. Some days ago my wife came to me: Sonos is blocked by an ad I can’t close! I looked at the screen and there’s a super small cross at the top right. She’s also been complaining her “email changed”, indeed it’s outlook now, and damn it I pay for email not to have this s*t. Maybe I’ll get her to use Linux now (her laptop is perfectly fine but can’t do win11) or at least Thunderbird. Damn it, I pay for email, paid for Hue, paid for Sonos speakers, paid for that laptop. F off with those ads!

Enshitification galore!

(I'm a proud customer of Proton but only for my business, for the whole family I find the cost just a tad to high to justify so I have a small local provider)
