What it does

The Mac app started as a dumb question: can you use font ligatures to turn AI into 💩? Turns out yes. Ironically, I used AI to figure out how. The Chrome extension came after — web fonts don't always cooperate. So mostly this is me poking fun. It's also a small nudge to be a little more mindful of the din around AI. Starting, apparently, with your font files.

The web is drowning in AI. Enshittifier replaces every "AI" with 💩 — in your browser, in your fonts.

Replace every “AI” on the web with 💩 — in your browser, and in your fonts. I'm a craftsperson, and I actually like AI AI 💩 . It's a tool, and a good one — I've made things with it I couldn't have otherwise. But it's polarized everyone. Some think it's salvation, some think it's the end of the world. It's neither... it's a tool. The tool isn't the problem. People are. Fads, FOMO, and plain fear of the unknown make us act a little crazy... cramming AI AI 💩 into things nobody asked for because (they think) the word sells. When that makes products worse, it's rarely some master plan. It's usually misaligned incentives and a lack of care. That's most of what enshittification…from enshittifier.wells.ee

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
