Am I the only one that sees this shit and thinks:

We are entering an age of very, very inefficient software, which is like a new layer to enshitification.

Inefficient? That's downright intrusive and misleading, at best

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 15 points 14 hours ago

Fully agree, but also on a macro economic level, we are gonna waste sooo much resources not even for the profit motive, just because they don’t want to make quality software
