When was this done? Because Windows has already been enshitified.
Uhh I think windows was the first of them all lol
Windows 7 was the last good windows OS, I will die on this hill
10 was great but definitely shitted out with tracking BS you have to disable.
10 was already deep into hiding settings and fragmenting the control panel.
11 is much worse.
and what’s gonna happen with 12?
It wouldn’t be impossible that 12 is an improvement. 10 was an improvement on 8. I think, as always, it’ll never go back to a truely good OS, we will just get used to the crap bits.
I think windows is too entrenched in it’s own version history to make good again. You’d need to start from scratch which simply won’t happen within the windows brand.
I think we can hold this hill. I still have a machine running 7.
I’m behind, how did Minecraft get enshittified? I catch the occasional stream and the game looks like it’s on another level from when I last played in like 2012
Java edition is still generally okay, but MS has been trying to cram it in the typical mobile game mold with a store and stuff. If MS had made Minecraft, we’d probably have item stacks of 10 or 100 rather than 64. :D
Minecraft is still really good if you just ignore the fact that Bedrock exists
Modded Java is the way to go.
When Windows ME is older than most posters…
Literally all of those are still incredibly popular and one of the leaders in their respective space. Sure, they have been “enshittified”, but not killed off by it yet. .
People do argue that Windows is in that process for so many years now.
August 1st 2012, to be precise.
I’m not the kind of person to say anything or anyone gave me the"ick", but that’s exactly what Windows 8 did. And it’s remained ever since…
Yeah, but you can still enjoy 1.7.10 + 1.12.2 not the same could be said for all the other things
I’m still bitter about the SSP/SMP merge. 1.2.5 runs so good.
Windows should be twice in this photo

Bro, you stole my meme
Google maps, Thinkpad and YouTube.
What happens to Maps?
Google started charging for the map api use of their service, there are ads in search and the ui is horrendous.
The one guy running altgrocery got charged hundreds of dollars because people flooded their website’s map in search of local independent grocers.
That’s why I’m on Organic maps instead now. It’s got 1% of the user base and 10.5% contributors as Google maps has. The UI is clean and the map is easy to contribute to.
