Dan Olsen on Folding Ideas talked about Fortnite and a bunch of the dark patterns that they do in regular mode until you pay:

He called it "manufactured discontent".

lol, it's alright, it's cold communication on the Internet. I also genuinely thank you for both replies!

I mean I think I understand the argument for your distinction. I don't play either games, I just watched VFX artists reaction and saw Snoop Dogg in it so I was wondering why it's such a big deal with Tencent. As he does seem to "dance" in CoD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdhPvXhXoUM.

I may take slight issue with your last statement. To be clear, I'm not trying to have a "dishonest discussion", I genuinely don't understand the distinction and there isn't really an article or anything here for me to clarify.

Thanks for your reply on it though it does clarify a bit more to me.

Isn't he already in Call of Duty?

I also like the absurd amount of permissions it requires. Meta couldn't let their guard down for a moment.

To clarify, I mean Meta couldn't be a little less data hungry in order to take marketshare from Twitter. They instantly needed access to absolutely everything at the start.

I deleted Twitter as soon as Space Karen took over.

However, my friends and so many people I follow on other platforms still link their Twitter profiles. For some there needs to be something solid to make a real and consistent migration. I was overly hopeful that Threads (yes, another evil) would have buried Twitter.

Sounds similar to the SSL stuff, like for GitHub and stuff. I guess the preference in that case would be my password manager as it stores my password already.

Perhaps it's best I pay for Bitwarden premium now and use those hardware keys people are recommending.

Also thanks!

Yeah I didn't understand passkeys. I'm like why is my browser asking to store them? What if I'm using another browser? Why is my password manager fighting with my browser on where to store this passkey?

I felt so uneasy.

So I decided not to use passkeys for now until I understood what's going on.

Aren't inverted commas also a phrase for that? Or is that the joke.

I just got my pro fold, I haven't used it that much as a tablet to be honest. It is nice to do when I need it.

Did you get the Google insurance thing that's quite pricey with it? I have a few days to get it.

Oh I use the website on my phone. Keeps asking me to spin Some stupid wheel though.

 

It's a story from April, I tried seeing if it was posted before, however it's the story about how the advertising and finance team beat the search team into submission by ousting the core person protecting it to pursue "growth" and "revenue" at all costs.
