    OK I read the bandcamp thing and… It’s not enshittification at all. Can we stop applying the term to every online service that kinda gets slightly worse for some reason or another?

    Just in case:

    Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification

    None of those things happened with Bandcamp

    But it looks like Proton does not choose the beneficiaries. From their statement:

    ‘Recipients are nominated by the Proton community and selected based on community feedback. Proton doesn’t nominate the recipients. Recipients cannot be changed after the raffle begins and the fact that some find Bellingcat controversial was not known beforehand.




  • Axios is very good. Very dry journalism - almost crossing into news agency territory -, very fact-based, always mentioning the different positions on the matter at hand. They do talk about politics but you can just visit the other sections. They are especially big on tech stuff

    EDIT: For how to get news, I use RSS. Inoreader in particular lets you subscribe to entire sites or just specific pages. It’s possibly the best piece of software I’ve ever tried
