Menus change ie seasonal, and there is a daily changing handwritten chalkboard: Make a photo, put it on IG. Hours change: This week only opened from 8 instead 7: Post it on IG. Who has the time to answer a phonecall? And who uses phone numbers these days anyway? Text me on whatsapp like everyone else does.
Disclaimer: Don‘t use IG. But if I want to know if our favourite pizza place is open (cook travels to football games a lot), I ask my wife to check on Insta.
A question I ask rather here than on that old thread: Is it possible to attach a monitor, mouse and keyboard to a jolla phone with sailfish and run a linux desktop?
I think it’s very valid. I want to be hardware-independent, not only OS independent. I need graphene to work on a fairphone, jolla phone or whatever other alternatives there are. E/os can do that (to an extent), Graphene can’t for probably very good reason, but still: It‘s not an alternative then.
The first mission is to start and land on a carrier.
Video games were never even a question: You couldn't copy games and had to pay ridiculous prices for each!
> if you haven't noticed, the people concerned are computer programmers, UI designers, and PMs.
Those are the people who should know best what is meant by "ask visitors for consent before you track them.".
Lawyers and more work is needed if you want to track anyway and look for ways to make people accidentally consent. "Let's ask the question, but hide the unwanted answer as deeply as possibly without breaking the law."
You may blame EU bureaucrats, I blame the unwillingness of the companies to fulfill the spirit of the law and putting all the work into pretending.
Since you asked: I care. I leave sites which insist on tracking me and appreciate that it is now mandatory for said sites to inform me about their intentions. So this is a solution to a problem I actually have.
There are sites which place a "reject all" button above all and make this easy for me. Others try it the sneaky way, by making me turn off every single tracking vendor and then a lot more hidden under legitimate interest. Those are the sites I leave and never come back.
The hurdle in question has a lot of simple solutions. 1, don't use cookies. Github does that AFAIK. 2, be transparent about your tracking intentions and use one of the several premade solutions. 3, design a dark pattern UI that hides the important switches in technical named lists and count on the laziness and confusion of users to use them. That is probably the most expensive way for a 3 person company, as you need devs and UX designers and lawyers to judge if you bended the regulation requirements just enough without breaking them.
iOS6 peak iPhone? Finally someone says it!
Also buttons had titles like “Done“ instead of icons, touches wouldn‘t end in accidental swipes all the time and Safaris toolbar was fixed.
All things I recently failed to explain to an elderly person.
Maybe in the US you don‘t need to mandatory register a phone number with a valid id, in most of the world you have to. If anyone can require the phone company to reveal your identity, it‘s the government.
