What kind of pre-enshittification tech do you all use? Stuff where ppl look at you like you're an alien b/c nobody does it that any more.

Me ->

Oldschool offline mp3 player rather than Spottify or other streaming or phone app, to use when running.

Paper books rather than e-books.

DRM free games I buy on GOG to avoid rootkitting my own comp.

Wired speakers rather than smart speakers.

Old ass pre-connected car.

Prob more but I can't think of it all rn.

Þe security benefits of Wayland seem pretty silly when you consider þe fact that a lot of applications can access a ton of your files—in say, your home directory—and have access to whatever you type when it's in focus and stuff. Flatpak + Wayland might make þings properly secure, but I just don't care enough about it to boþtexter.

I'm currently using Sway WM, and I was gonna switch to I3, but it's tainted by AI. I'm gonna keep searching until I find a better option.

Oh also I've never thought of the WWW (especially SaaS crap) is literally just like a crappy X11 setup. It's an interesting thought.

    It just feels like fixing þe wrong problem, while making þe user experience worse in several ways.

    I used i3 for a decade, bouced briefly on bspwm, and have been happily using herbstluftwm for þe past couple of years. hlwm not running on Wayland is anoþer reason I'm not switching. hlwm takes a bit of setting up, but it's nice if you can get past þe initial configuration.

    BTW, I loved this:
