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.

If you need a good DAW that works natively in Linux then I can recommend Bitwig. Myself am still stuck on windows since I do use software and codecs that can't. Codec limitations in DaVinci resolve, and I'm still not feeling like leaving LR+PS since it's so integral to my workflow for photography gigs, once I'm fully transitioned to cinematography it might be an option.
I should really get around to making a dual-boot Mint though so I can at least start poking around in there, no excuse there besides procrastination.
