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 mean did Usher, Beyonce or Taylor Swift start up an illegal lottery for government kickbacks?

I’m not sure but I don’t think they started Super PACs either.

The entire post of yours is dishonest but the Usher thing is especially stupid as well. Usher endorsed Kamala, not the other way around 🤡 .

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 can’t recall the exact change but a coworker did something five years very intentionally. The comments, the commit and everything described what they did but not why.

I think it was with side effects: true and I fixed a certain way we bundled things and I believe that could have solved the issue but I don’t know for sure :/

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.

Anytime someone says, “tell me why”

I start singing.

I’m not getting it but those gaming chairs look like racing car chairs. I didn’t think those seats were particularly comfortable either because I thought they kept you in place when things you’re zipping around?

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.

What do you mean “but he didn’t, there was no point”? I figured everyone always challenging one another all the time. But I’m not really into the scene myself.

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.

Think you may need to build it from cargo/rust

This is kinda funny because I’ve installed it on Mint and Pop OS and I completely forgot how.

I worked for a major investment bank and one of their exotics trading teams was basically all add-ons and stuff built on top of Excel.

To be fair, the traders looked like Wizards using it, it was pretty neat.

I think they could be referring to requiring a Sony PS account to play this game much like HellDivers 2.

I was gonna make a joke that it’s also an idea that’s on so many street corners and coffee cups. However after googling I found out that it’s a siren on the Starbucks logo and not a mermaid. My joke fails on both humour and fact.

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

I know it’s absolute schlock but I’d give anything to watch Infinity War for the first time again.

I just loved it and still do but man …
