    Forcing wireless charging!

    No physical buttons!

    Requires an implant to use!

      I appreciate wireless charging a ton, but I want an integrated dust cover for the USB port.

        i mean I hate the expense but everything else being equal its much nicer to not have to plug in a plug. especially when it also acts as a holder and such.

        Sure, but it’s slower and less energy efficient. I get the convenience of just setting it down, but not having a data port has enshittification benefits I would bet.

          I have to laugh every time I see a “wireless charger” plugged into the wall with a USB C cable powering the charger. It has to be one of the most absurd things I have seen.

        +1 One of my older phones met it’s end due to USB port failure.

        Since then I use silicone USB port caps. They cost about 30c each from Ali express.

        Only if you also buy the ear buds accessory, and it’s going to be proprietary.

What is enshittification?

The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source

The lifecycle of Big Internet

We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.

Embrace, extend and extinguish

We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.
