Cory Doctorow on Nostr: Now, this scam wouldn't work if you could just put things back the way they were ...
Now, this scam wouldn't work if you could just put things back the way they were before the "update," which is where the DRM comes in.

Combine always-on network access with indiscriminate criminalization of user modification, and the enshittification will follow, as surely as night follows day.
