Reddit, Xwitter, Unity..what next in the queue of "let me fuck myself" ?
Shout out to Postman who this week decided to depreciate their local (secure) credential storage scratchpad, to force people to use their API and store everything on their cloud platform

Global enshitification continues
Postman got flagged as no longer safe to use on corporate hardware after this. Sounds like it’s time to go back to using curl for everything.
Wow, as someone who has been a happy Postman customer this fucking blows. Are there any good forks?
Try Insomnia. It is pretty neat.
I love insomnia. Switched from postman a while ago, haven't looked back.
I didn't try it, but: https://hoppscotch.io/
For the VS Code enjoyers, there's the Thunder Client extension. It's pretty good but I hate that you can't commit your queries on the free tier anymore
You forgot Youtube/Google and Facebook who've been arseholes for years.
Nope, I didn't. But they all being A-holes, show no sign of digging their own graves like Reddit, X, and Unity did.
Guess they are supervillains then, lol.
Eh, I'm sure it's just a matter of time. As people have said above the infinite free money is drying up. That's a fact that all these corporations have to contend with. The only difference between Twitter and Facebook or Unity and Google is that Twitter and Unity have made their dumb decisions already. Facebook, Google, and others have navigated this fairly well so far. But they are feeling the same pressures that Reddit and Unity did and eventually they will bend to them too.
