Yeah, there's always the "No thanks" button but not the "No, fuck you" button.

Or in online spaces, the ever more common “maybe later.” No means no, maybe go jump in a lake of fire.

  Silicon Valley is like a creepy and terrible suitor, never knowing what "no" means or letting its counterparty express "no". It's always "ask me later".

  The iOS app “Calendars” recently starting showing a modal on launch trying to up-sell something - I don’t give a shit what it was - the “no” option was labeled “Thank you”. I had to click “Thank you” to dismiss it so that I could use the fucking app I pay a yearly subscription for. Or in this case: paid. The cheek of these people.

    That "Thank you" button just raised the bar on cheek, I think. I'm actually chuckling at it -- just the sheer passive-aggressive childishness of its attempt at shaming users. I mean, what did they think writing that on the button would achieve? It has literally no effect except to infuriate people who were already going to opt out. Labelling it "I suck" would have been better.

because that 2nd one requires a "No, fuck YOU!" button and so on ad infinitum.

I hate that the options when faced with a location permissions request is "block" or "allow". why isnt ignore an option?? Block adds the site to a discrete local list which i dont need recorded on my computer...

  Because if you don't remember the block, it'll probably ask again on the next page load.

    Exactly? I may not want a site to have my location now, but I may be okay with it in the future. Eg, I’m not in a place where I want my location tagged at the moment.

      Next page load aka next link you click. I agree it would be nice to have a "No, don't ask me again for this session".

        Brave has an option for "remember this choice until I close this site".
      - whycome 2y ago
        Yes. Similarly, the “agree” should have the option for “Okay yes, but just for this session.” The fact that this part of the UI is not escapable by the user is hostile and breaks the interaction model. If the “webpage” is asking me this question, why is the browser acting as a middleman and forwarding me this message without letting my continue unless I answer. Let me respond to the webpage or ignore it as well.
