Apple does the same sort of thing these days, Music.app on my phone keeps showing me a full screen ad for Apple Music around a month, dismissed it about 5 times now.
- nydel 7y agoit's everywhere outside of overtly freedom-concerned software. the idiots are winning.

- a1369209993 7y ago> freedom-concerned software. Thank you for giving a example of why we can't use the term "free software" any more. Also fuck Ubuntu.
- thefunnyman 7y agoIt seems a bit absurd that this is still a reason to say 'fuck ubuntu' when they listened to user feedback and reversed that feature. I can't think of any other similar missteps in recent years.
- a1369209993 7y ago> I can't think of any other similar missteps in recent years. I stopped using Ubuntu a while ago due to a large number of individually minor "missteps", so I don't have any equally blatant/memorable (or particularly recent) examples, but there were enough of them to be a constant hazard of updating anything. (For similarly large, there's systemd and wayland, but neither those are specific to Ubuntu.) Also, someone (for analogy) dumping toxic waste into a drinking water supply, and then listening to feedback and ceasing to dump toxic waste into the water supply, still seems like a damn good reason to say "fuck those guys in particular" to me, and that's what shipping malware in a software update amounts to.
- Lio 7y agoWhat I hate is that you can’t even say no to Apple any more. It’s all this “not right now” or “maybe later” passive aggressive bollocks. I just want a “no never” button.
