I like how @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy's "Enshittification" translates pleasingly to "L'Emmerdement" in french.

Normally this kind of thing, I ignore frankly...
But Tarantino publicly saying someone (a professional who has worked with some of the greatest) is "lame" is really bothering me
Like, wtf is your problem Quentin?

Landed Tuesday night
City office Wednesday morning for official proof of residence paper
DMV Thursday morning, to be told paper from city office isn't complete (new requirements since Oct)

On the Future Knowledge #podcast, he explains why the web became hostile & how we can make it work again.
