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".

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.

He also sold his stake in the "competing" company years prior and changed his terms saying the WP acronym was not okay to use after saying it was previously.

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's funny is that I saw the first FMA years ago and forgot what it was about. When I saw Brotherhood I was getting weird flashbacks while watching it...

At the end of it ... Brotherhood was buried into my mind and I can't stop recommending it to everyone. I can't even remember much about the first anime.

I'd love to critique it against the first but I can barely remember the first. I think the first part was pretty close or something, but yeah.

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.

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 on the third rewatch I noticed that the first line of the diary had a different meaning:

::: spoiler !"We were two young men at the start of a great career. Two young men devoted to an illusion. Two young men who never intended to hurt anyone." :::

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

But like, what financial benefits do they get from this? Like the country itself. I'm really bad in this area. Like, do they buy property or set up a thin business? Does that pull in enough?

 

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.
