    Sadly Calibre has AI crap in it now: https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware#services-and-utilities

    Thankfully there are forks which exclude that.

        You’re welcome. Yeah, I agree. I’ve been doing a lot of removing AI infested programs from my life recently and found that the ones without it work better anyway.

Welcome to Enshittification

A community for everyone who misspelt it as enshitification.

“I the onceler felt sad as I watched them all go, but business is business and business must grow, regardless of crummies in tummies you know.”

This is your space to document the decay, demise, and destruction of the tech world as we know it. Share stories, articles, and firsthand experiences that capture the ongoing decline of once-celebrated platforms, services, and companies in the late stage capitalist landscape.

From monopolistic corporate shifts to anti-user updates and the relentless pursuit of profit over quality—if it’s broken, bloated, or just plain bad, it belongs here. We’re here to spotlight the moves that make the tech world worse, one piece of enshittification at a time.

For some more positive takes
[email protected] [email protected]

Guidelines
🔹 Stay on Topic: Only post content about the decline of tech products, platforms, or companies.
🔹 Quality Content: Give some context when posting links or articles to drive quality discussions.
🔹 Respectful Discussion: Critique companies, crappy tech, and capital, not community members.
🔹 Positive Monday: The first Monday of every month is reserved for positive content only that shows enshittification isn’t inevitable.

Join us to expose the changes that ruin the things we once loved and to discuss what comes next in a tech world gone wrong.
