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.

Yep, was gonna say this, at least if you're on linux.

A bit of a confusing UI, but it doesn't seem to be as resource intensive as other editors with similar feature sets.

(Though I do have very little experience with video editors/editing in general... shotcut 'clicked' for me after a few hours of just brute force fucking about with no manual or anything)

Runs just fine on windows. A little slower than on Linux but it works.
