A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's like they are trying to irritate people into canceling their accounts.

Imo, this one might actually be worse than the account sharing and cause people to quit. As soon as you have people messing around with their subscription version, it's all too easy to just say "nah, I actually don't want this anymore".

I can only assume this but this is most likely a response to the C-11 bill that just passed. Netflix was already losing mass amounts of content due to other streaming services. And now our government is mandating that all online streaming have & pay for a certain amount of Canadian content...

Our government is really the one fucking us over when it comes to the internet. From only ever helping monopolies to passing laws on the internet that can only harm users.

Things in Canada have changed dramatically over the past 15 years and every year it seems to accelerate at a faster rate. We all thought Reddits “enshitification” was bad, living here is worse!!

A coincidence that cory doctrow who coined enshittification, is from toronto?
