I haven’t made any claims. My comment is about the “vibes” of NextCloud as a “product” and “company”, if you want objectivity in what i’m saying.

Im not a nextcloud user and it’s good that you personally don’t feel that they’ve made any moves towards enshitification but we’ve seen countless companies start with great and pure intentions that unfortunately throw that all out the window when: an opportunity to be a market leader, opportunity of profits becomes too great, or the userbase becomes significant enough. “Open Source” seems to unfortunately be part of the tech company corporate playbook.

We live in a world where organizations and companies get to change terms after sale now. While it is not zero sum, if you’re not exercising skepticism towards those trying to offer you something, you’re probably doing yourself a disservice. Nothing is truly free.

Also, OpenOffice is definitely not dead lol https://www.openoffice.org/

This is building a great case for america to

1. Invest in better public transit infrastructure
2. Adopt EVs even faster
3. Make biking a safer transportation choice for everyone

But…

It won’t.

Honestly this stinks of potential enshitification downstream. Libreoffice and Openoffice are just fine. Nextcloud’s posture in the market and “Brand name feel” sets of my alarm that it is like 5 minutes away from charging people subscriptions for self-hosting if they don’t already. Synology runner up?

Used to work in film audio post-production. Saw the writing on the wall the moment the AI cancer start to spread and moved to a new line of work. Really sad to see this.

It’s for enabling wannabes. I’m a professional musician and I can tell you the only person who uses it is someone on the Suno payroll (Timbaland)

fingers crossed for Vancouver dealerships. Im in, chequebook ready.

good. Hopefully suno dies next. GenAI is garbage tech.

loll i’m with you but in this anti-consumer hellhole this feels like a huge win

Holy fuck I haven’t so delighted about current events in YEARS!!!

trump taking office was a stark reminder!
