So the e-bike sharing app Tier was taken over by Dott and so far it's instant #enshittification.
The most annoying thing, and this seems to be a trent, is their support staff doesn't speak Dutch and uses machine translation. Without permission (everything I say is presumably sent through a US cloud) and with no way to opt out. Because Dutch people don't speak English obviously.
So now when I reply I have to guess how the AI is going to mange my Dutch, and when reading their reply what the original English was.
