    I still have a directory of installers for “useful programs”. Some of them probably date back to the 90s and would need dosbox to run.

      I have the same and only needed to dip into one time for my WiiManager app to check on my Wii library backup on a external HDD.

    I have a feeling calling the “The Great” enshitification will age up like that one “The Great” War.

      “great” means large and significant. Nobody thought the war or enshittification was good

        I guess you are missing some history here. “The Great” War is not the war you’d think about by hearing that name.

        In fact, the name lasted about 15 years, never to be used again.

          I’m not sure what war you think one would be thinking about – I’ve only ever heard it used to refer to WW1.

    Implying that it was worse and has gotten better, or will get better to the point where data hoarding is unnecessary. I guess it would be nice if things turned out that well.
