Then I guess we were arguing past each other.

Yes, but I'm not arguing the US Constitution is older than the UK one, although it is much older than that of almost all countries I think. I'm arguing that the UK doesn't suffer from having an old constitution because its co

But that's more because they want to keep the charter, no? I mean that keeping the UK constitution "living" is much easier since the written parts can be legally changed easily. And the 2 party system is a result of US elect

The UK is a bit of an exception through, large parts of Europe have gone though at least some sort of revolution or a change in constitution in the last century, if not multiple. And the UK constitution isn't entrenched. Whenever the H

The UK doesn't have an entrenched constitution through. Whenever there's a simple parliamentary majority for a reform in the lower house it can be done. In the US even simple laws can require a filibuster breaking supermajority i

Yeah, it's time spent by the users. Maybe it's an inneficiency of the market because the software company doesn't feel the negative effect enough, maybe it really is cheaper in aggregate that doing 3 different native apps in

We've been on the Electron era long enough to know that developer time is more expensive than CPU time.

Yeah BrandonM got unfairly maligned but it's still funny.

BrandonM as a Service?

Oh the copy paste manipulation is still not that rare. I'm speaking of sites where even if open the HTML source you only get a text garble that is magically converted into readable but uncopiable text.

by jowea 1y ago
I remember seeing at least one site where the result of copying is garbled text.

The next question is, why doesn't cloudfare cooperate instead of suffering disruption? Or why doesn't laliga ask cloudfare to cooperate if that's the issue? Surely cloudfare could block their own users more effectively.

The games are presumably on the weekend. This is abou blocking streaming of games that are currently happening.

That it picked up from the floor after it the disk overflowed? I'm not saying the rest of it isn't a dark pattern, but the final issue is just a couple of bugs.

> The third dark pattern is OneDrive secretely downloading 280GB of photos and videos without once realising this was way more data than her root drive could store. That's not a dark pattern, it's just a failure in software dev

It's social proof, specially before you start watching. And after watching it's still interesting in a "huh this trailer got 5M views, didn't know so many people were interested in it" way

Why are view counts displayed prominently in the UI then? Every suggested video shows it's view count as a sort of social proof.

How is that not opening?

Yeah but society doesn't act as if it's an unthinkable event we never planned for when a car crash happens. Blame someone or don't, but there are going to be emergency responders used to dealing with car crashes coming, becau

I feel that most everyone has some 0.0001% chance of falling for a stupid trick. And at scale, a tiny chance means someone will fall for it.

Is that for user email? I think that is semi-understandable as Facebook wouldn't want to mix their authority with that of the users, like github.com vs github.io. Edit: nvm it seems it's not the case
56.
by jowea 1y ago
To be fair, this wasn't a super demanding 0-day attack, it was a slightly targeted email phish. Maybe the attacker isn't that sophisticated and just went with what is familiar?

Would controversial emojis even get widespread support? Look at what happened to gun emoji.

Maybe it's just me but doing a big transfer over cable is a crapshot since it will disconnect midtransfer. KDE connect is a bit better but syncthing is the best solution still.

Yeah cryptoassets are probably just the easiest thing to monetize.

What if the latest patch is (claiming to be) a security fix? Then that's 3 days of more insecurity.
