@VE3RWJ@mastodon.radio Dyson must've read @pluralistic@mamot.fr's Enshittification, scratched their heads for a while, and come up with a wheeze for regular income from the humble toothbrush They've designed their new AI assisted toothbrush so you have to use their products with it. Regular ongoing rental fees to Dyson for as long as you use the toothbrush. Why are folk so easily seduced by this nonsense? #Enshittification

@Cyclist@mastodon.scot @VE3RWJ@mastodon.radio @pluralistic@mamot.fr I’m sure somewhere in a secret laboratory deep inside a mountain the best scientist in the world are working on the last unsolved problem of dental hygiene products: how to lock down a toothbrush to only work with certified toothpaste.

@Cyclist@mastodon.scot @VE3RWJ@mastodon.radio @pluralistic@mamot.fr not just Enshittification, that's literally the plot of one of the Radicalized short stories. I recommend it if you haven't read them. Yesterday I was listening to the Mangez les riches episode about billionnaire bunkers and it was another relevant topic that's the plot of the short stories.

@Cyclist@mastodon.scot @VE3RWJ@mastodon.radio @pluralistic@mamot.fr Toothbrush with brush-cam that…will be clouded with toothpaste foam. Unlike my mirror.
