When I’m using a public urinal in 2026, it’s flushing three times, except after you’ve finished. Instead the light switches off during the act, which you’re carrying out blindfolded then. These things were more or less perfected technologies a few decades ago.

The reason I cannot spare HN has to do with the Marxist concept of added value. Enshittification becomes necessary once growth isn’t possible anymore on a corporations home turf, where it was actually innovative.
