John Breen<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EMTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EMTD</a> is my long-time mantra. Everything Microsoft Touches Dies. Github, LinkedIn, Skype, Visio, it all gets killed and subsumed by a Teams feature nobody asked for, on an <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Enshitified" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Enshitified</a> OS "as a service" with non-optional AI-BOT overseers and screen captures... Probably DOS and PC-BASIC are the only good ever done by MS, and still in wide use in 2025. And they trained lots of people who eventually got better jobs.

kgoetzI've been struggling to find the words to express a concept in my head the last 6-12 months, but i think I've recently had the moment of truth: By depending so heavily on <a href="https://aus.social/tags/webbrowsers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#webbrowsers</a> to do virtually everything we've collectively locked ourselves in to the web browser as our <a href="https://aus.social/tags/platform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#platform</a> . Since its basically a monopoly ( <a href="https://aus.social/tags/chrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#chrome</a> ) with a few also-rans, we've allowed ourselves to be captured and the platform (meaning the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/browsers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#browsers</a> themselves as well as the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/worldwideweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#worldwideweb</a>) has <a href="https://aus.social/tags/enshitified" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#enshitified</a> under us. Building new browsers from scratch is a massive undertaking so we can't even expect to get back in to the market in a meaningful sense. I'm not suggesting the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/www" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#www</a> is lost, only that the current 'lets hope and pray and make more <a href="https://aus.social/tags/forks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#forks</a> of things' approach isn't going to help.
