- thanatropism 8y agoIs this peak responsive.
- busterarm 8y agoWhat a horrendous experience that was.
- matte_black 8y agoThe horizontal scroll actually isn't that bad, but what killed it was using italics for the entire text. What the hell???
- dec0dedab0de 8y agoyeah I like weird layouts sometimes, but italics was a pain, especially since this is just text.
- ra__mm 8y agothanks for the feedback :), we will consider to change that
- currymj 8y agoi think you’re supposed to click on the links which open up more info written in standard font. in that context, the italics is sort of like how you might get a summary in italics at the start of a book chapter.
- ra__mm 8y agoyou got it!
- blattimwind 8y agoTurning on reader mode has it display the massive GDPR waiver / "partners list" instead of the actual article :)
- skullum 8y agoReader mode works for me in Firefox. What browser are you using?
- blattimwind 8y agoFirefox
- weavie 8y agoIt seems turning on reader mode displays the gdpr waiver, but then if you refresh the page it shows the article. I'd be interested to know how they managed to achieve that. The waiver doesn't seem to appear in the html source.. so I'm not sure where it is coming from and it is now too late in the day for me to investigate it further..
- ra__mm 8y agohi, i developed that page. But I don't really understand what you mean
- getcrunk 8y agoNot for me. What device/os/browser are you using
- unreal37 8y agoI'm having trouble determining what they discovered here. 1) They bought 1 million dating profiles 2) They traced it back to Match.com and Plenty of Fish That's it? That's the news? Where's the meat? What am I missing?
- munchbunny 8y agoYou can buy a large number of completely deanonymized profiles that tie together photos, names, sexual orientation, etc. (those were what stuck out to me) for a couple hundred bucks. Usually you have to go through the back door to get this stuff. Even advertising companies go further than this to anonymize you. This is a pretty blatant privacy violation. If the headline was just "Match.com sites are sharing your profile info between them" this would smell bad but wouldn't be a big deal.

- munk-a 8y agoI assume the CO2 emission primarily comes from the excessively large fonts used? Just like printing in a smaller font to be environmentally friendly using a smaller display front is similarly advantageous - and don't even get me started on all-caps, you might as well be burning a mountain of coal if you type in all-caps. /s
- ra__mm 8y agothat is the design of the page
