Philips Hue will soon force users to create a Hue account and sign in to continue to use the app and control the smart lights. The best security model to protect smart devices is to keep them disconnected from the internet, or at least keep this option available.

There is still value in calling out the exploitation. It might not be as shitty as leveraging different customer pools, but it absolutely is the same exact business mindset that creates enshittification.
I don’t think it’s wrong to at least associate the two things even if “enshittification” remains more about gearing systems to exploit customers vs basic direct exploitation of customers.
But their entirely different processes. One is exploiting one market vs the other. Here it wouldn’t necessarily be exploiting a market, but destroying value of a free service. If you’re worried about personal info being the exploitation, it’s going to be very limited and likely already in place. An account structure is usually more the first move toward monetizing the service directly and enabling the ability between free and premium services. That’s still shitty, but for entirely different reasons. So I just don’t like seeing the original word lose all meaning whatsoever beyond its root word. It basically guts it of all of its nuance and importance and just turns it into a noun form of taking something and making it shitty. We don’t need to do that.
The fuck are you TALKING about?! I made no such claim, you extrapolated some insane bullshit from me saying Lemmy has an overused catchphrase.
It’s obviously a thing that exists and happens all the time, I didn’t deny that but somehow in your eyes me saying “that word is overused here” is saying “all companies are benevolent and have my best interests at heart”!

It’s a lemmy buzzword that tastes like Reddit’s “play stupid games, win stupid prizes” at this point.
If you do not believe in FAFO as a fundamental truth (even if it is said often) then you might just be dumb.
Don’t let annoyed obstinance turn you in to a dummy denying basic facts of reality.

Shoo.
Calling it a “buzzword” is dismissive of it. Or are you also too stupid to understand subtext?
What part of “Shoo” are you incapable of comprehending?
bahaha truly pathetic
