❓Have you noticed that digital products and services are getting worse?

The remit of the Forbrukerråd is to help Norwegian consumers with problems they experience when purchasing/leasing goods and services from companies.

Their remit does not extend to recommending one or another type of economic system.

With this video the Forbrukerråd has given (Norwegian) consumers a word to hang their frustrations on when they encounter yet another example of #enshittification in their digital lives.

Which is the point of this video.

Looks like the link is not working.

@finnmyrstad incredibly accurate

@Rosenrot @finnmyrstad @pluralistic

For sure!
In my comment I was going for co-ops and similar organisations where the users have democratic co-determination, but tech workers' co-ops are certainly a vital and important part of the ecosystem.

To contribute to your list, here are links to some of the tech workers' co-ops I've had the pleasure of meeting and/or conversing with:

- @agaric, member of the international tech co-op federation @patio
- @tak
- @autonomic (also member of Patio)
- @Cloud68
- @interstitial_coop
- https://robur.coop
- https://doop.coop
- https://ogtall.no
- https://19.coop
- https://platformcoop.de
- https://digidemlab.org (and https://collective.tools)
- https://syndicats.co

and for an even wider list, there's https://tech-coops.xyz/

and finally, me and two other folks are in the process of starting a tech workers' co-op in Norway

@finnmyrstad @pluralistic There is at least one company name to remember and run if they touch one of your products: bending spoons.
There may be more vulture funds trashing our beloved tools, but #BendingSpoons has a master plan and acquires services with lots of users to maximise the damage.

@finnmyrstad Ironic to have those shitty automated Chrome subtitles pop up beneath the video. And I still haven't found out if there even is a way to deactivate them.

[guillermolievano_1@social.vivaldi.net]

@finnmyrstad @pluralistic yeah great job. The problem is not only in the E.U. or USA, it's all around the world. It's the same in my country
