    "Biggest"? "officially biggest"? These terms weren't used by the people who chose that word: https://www.macquariedictionary.com.au/woty-2024/

    Looks like Gizmodo is suffering some enshittification itself...

      > noun Colloquial the act of undertaking a long-haul flight with no electronic entertainment, devices or reading material, as film, music, games, laptops, books, etc.

      Yes, of course, that's definitely the correct definition...

      Even if you are going with that derived use then a flight would only be an example application.

    I’ll have to watch the interview tomorrow, but it strikes me that “enshittification” is about as easily understood as any semi- nuanced terminology. Who can’t understand the meaning quickly, even if the details aren’t terribly well-defined?

    I nominate this for the word of the year in dictionaries.

    "Last night I reinstalled Windows 11..."

    It is funny how these kind of essays don't critque the protagonist.

    "Sweet universe save me from this tide of enshittification."

    Nope. You do it. Atleast suggest a boycott of the listed entities.
