What? Windows has sucked for like 20 years. Google turned to shit when they got rid of “don’t be evil”

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 204 points 3 days ago (2 children)

This implies Windows isn’t already enshittified, which is very much not the case.

[–] RangerJosie@lemmy.world 37 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (10 children)

Start menu ruined. All the UI is garbage. Fucking OneDrive.

I'm over it. Shopping distros as we speak.

Edit - Making this edit from a fresh Linux Mint install. Cheers.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 14 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I don’t even use Windows, and just reading about what’s happened to the Start menu pisses me off.

Maybe that's where the loop starts.

Windows has been shit waaaaaaaaay longer than any of those. MS always "fixes" it afterwards just enough to become usable

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 20 points 3 days ago (2 children)

To be fair, Windows has huge, maybe even unreasonable, demands placed on it for backward compatibility due to corps not wanting to dump their 30 year old legacy software. And to Microsoft's credit, they actually manage to do that pretty well while maintaining a reasonably stable OS. Most of the time, anyway.

The increasing interest in using Windows as a conduit for ads and data collection is what they really chafes me and is the primary reason I'm slowly moving away from Windows.

For those wondering about what specifically happened with each:

Minecraft - microtransactions on Bedrock edition

Reddit - API changes killing 3rd party apps and streamlining ad delivery

Netflix - Pricing and library changes making it less and less of a good deal

Chrome - Manifest V3 killing uBlock Origin and similar content blockers

Windows - Increasing numbers of ads baked into the system, poorly-made features like Recall, and lack of hardware compatibility with the TPM 2.0 requirement

[–] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Additional stuff:

Reddit - becoming more and more like a typical social media website with profile customizations and instant messaging.

Netflix - ads and now only limited to one household.

Chrome - might be the bloatiest of all chromium based browsers

[–] CafecitoHippo@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago

Thanks. I was legitimately confused by Minecraft because I never saw anything negative added to Java edition but I've never played Bedrock. Minecraft keeps pumping out free content updates so they seem like a good example of what to do for a company.

[–] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago

bedrock isn't real

everyone say goodbye to the wonderful decadess of lean, efficient, bloat-free Windows we have known and loved up until Windows 11!

it's been smooth sailing until windows 11!

[–] majestictechie@lemmy.fosshost.com 66 points 3 days ago (6 children)

Windows 7 was the last good Windows. It was a nice polished OS that had the last decent search feature. 8 was a mess (it started without a start button) and then all the bloat/ads that came with 10 and above

We said goodbye to that since Windows 8. Windows has been shit since Windows 8.

Vista doesn't deserve the hate it gets. There was very little difference between it and 7 which everyone loves.

Vista was a giant upgrade from XP, it was like going from GemOS to win95

Oh enshittification is coming for Windows. In the future. Like it hasn't happened yet or wasn't the first and worst of these companies for it to come for. But something that hasn't happened yet, not in the past. Interesting.

Winbloats was arguably the first one of this list to get enshitiffied. I remember being a 12 yo trying to find an alternative to winbugs because the microsoft account login was required. It's got worse since then

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Yeah its the original example of enshittification for sure

Netflix happened before Reddit. Also, one could add Facebook and Amazon

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

And google (the search engine)

Wait, what happened to Minecraft? You're just talking about the Bedrock edition, right?

...right?

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think it's bedrock edition and the many cash grab spinoffs. Afaik og Minecraft is only better than it ever was.

[–] renzev@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Yeah that's my experience so far. The only thing Microsoft has managed to ruin so far when it comes to Java edition is the launcher. Luckily there are many great FOSS launchers out there (Prism is my favorite). Everything else is working just fine, and the gameplay updates from the last couple of years have been good.

[–] melooone@feddit.org 5 points 2 days ago

I can think of a couple more things, like forcing everyone to switch to a Microsoft account and the chat report system. Or the performance problems that were never truly addressed after 1.13. Even the combat update (1.9) I still don't like.

But it's certainly not ruined. As you mentioned, they still regularly update the game with cool features and new blocks, and many of the problems I mentioned can at least be fixed with mods. I would just like to see it fixed properly in the vanilla game.

+1 for Prism Launcher btw

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lol, this is hilarious. Thanks, Lemmy. It makes me feel better to know I'm not this far echo chambered. Good luck.

[–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 33 points 2 days ago

I had the same reaction. Enshittification came for Windows more than a decade ago, WTH are they thinking with this meme?

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 27 points 3 days ago

I'm going to pretend using an enshitified version of this meme template was an intentional choice

[–] Technofrood@feddit.uk 42 points 3 days ago (15 children)

When did Minecraft get Enshittified?

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 66 points 3 days ago (6 children)

Bedrock is pretty full of microtransactions, upsells, and ads, and the Mojang to Microsoft account migration for Java made a lot of people lose their accounts entirely.

But the core gameplay of both editions is still fine, and Java is consistently getting more mod-friendly with each release. You also don't actually have to buy anything in Bedrock; it's mostly just annoying.

I don't really agree that Minecraft is getting enshittified, but I can see why others might.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 29 points 3 days ago

And the whole chat censoring thing, and Microsoft doubling down on banning players on all servers for chat content in their own private servers.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

bedrock was shit version from start, any respectable Minecraft player uses Java version.

Windows was enshittified decades before it was even a concept. Grandaddy of enshittification.

TBH move reddit to the front of Netflix and Chrome and Windows behind Minecraft then its good.

[–] Nyciferi@kbin.melroy.org 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I would put Firefox on the very last door. Firefox has been a gradual process.

[–] whithom@discuss.online 15 points 3 days ago

Windows on the first door.

[–] user1234@lemmynsfw.com 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Windows was the enshittification of DOS.
